New property listed in Du Cowichan Bay, Duncan

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 09:16:21 GMT

I have listed a new property at 939 Khenipsen Rd in Cowichan Bay. See details here

RARE! Hank Schubart designed home set on 23 pristine, private acres above Cowichan Bay, offering sweeping ocean, valley, and mountain views from nearly every room. Deep overhangs float above walls of glass, and low rooflines trace the land's contours, as if the house grew straight out of the hillside — a rare, unrestored piece of West Coast architectural history. THE MAIN FLOOR A gravel path winds through mature ornamental pines and native plantings to the entry, where the home's low, horizontal profile first reveals itself. Step inside to a warm foyer that opens into a sweeping living room, anchored by a rusticated stone fireplace and wrapped in walls of glass that pull the eye straight out to the valley, mountains, and glimpses of the Cowichan estuary beyond. Exposed fir beams and a wood-planked ceiling carry through the main level, giving every room a sense of shelter without ever closing off the view. The family room and open kitchen sit at the heart of the home, the kitchen updated over the years with granite counters, a large island with bar seating, and skylights that flood the space with natural light — all while staying true to the timber-framed character Schubart intended. The adjoining dining area, lit by a maple wood & iron chandelier, opens directly onto the home's expansive deck, where a hot tub takes full advantage of the same panoramic outlook — sunsets over the valley, mist rising off the estuary at dawn, and mountains layered blue into the distance. A main-floor bedroom and full bath round out the level, offering flexible living for guests or single-level convenience. THE UPPER FLOOR Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own private wing — a generous 17'2" x 24'6" retreat beneath vaulted, beamed ceilings, with skylights and walls of glass that keep the valley and mountain views present even from bed. A walk-in closet and ensuite bath complete the suite, finished with the same warm, hand-crafted detailing found throughout the home. It's a space built to wake up in slowly, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the water below. THE WORKSHOP & OUTBUILDINGS Beyond the main residence, a substantial log-built workshop offers a rare bonus for hobbyists, artisans, or anyone who simply needs a serious space to work with their hands. Built in the same log-and-timber language as the main house, it's outfitted with built-in workbenches, ample power, natural light from clerestory windows, and its own wood stove for year-round use — the kind of space that could just as easily house a woodworking shop, an art studio, or a mechanic's dream garage. Tucked into the forest and raised on log stilts, a charming log-built bunkhouse adds a genuinely rare bonus to the property — part treehouse, part guest cabin, reached by a rustic timber staircase climbing the hillside. Inside, twin log-frame bunks flank a cozy wood stove, warmed by string lights and topped with handmade quilts, antler hooks, and a repurposed wagon-wheel light fixture overhead. Vintage kilim runners cover the wood-plank floor, and a live-edge log table offers a spot to set down a lantern or a good book. At dusk, the cabin glows amber through its log walls and windows, a magical retreat for kids, guests, or anyone chasing that true off-grid cabin feeling — all without leaving the property. THE LAND The 23-acre property offers exceptional privacy and function to match its beauty. Ample parking accommodates boats, RVs, and multiple vehicles, making this a rare fit for anyone with toys to store and adventures to launch — all just minutes from Cowichan Bay's docks and boat access to the Gulf Islands. THE ARCHITECT: HANK SCHUBART Henry "Hank" Schubart (1916–1998) was an American-Canadian architect whose life reads like an origin story for West Coast design. Inspired as a teenager by Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography, Schubart wrote to Wright and was accepted into his Taliesin fellowship, tuition waived. He later co-founded a San Francisco firm before moving his family to Salt Spring Island in the late 1960s, drawn by a commission and a wish to raise his sons away from the Vietnam War draft. Over the next three decades, he became the island's beloved community architect, designing over 230 homes known as "Hank's Houses." His style took Wright's Prairie horizontals and reimagined them for the coast, substituting the flat prairie line for the line of the sea. He was renowned for his gift of siting, nestling each home into its landscape so it felt native to the forest, with exposed cedar, expansive glass, and rusticated stone as his signature. A genuine Schubart house rarely comes to market, let alone outside Salt Spring Island. To find one intact on 23 acres above Cowichan Bay is exceptional — not a house built in his style, but one of his own.

A Morning in Cowichan Bay: Vancouver Island’s Village on the Water

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 21:27:01 GMT

Much of Vancouver Island’s coastline has been developed into marinas and condos over the last few decades. Cowichan Bay hasn’t. It’s still a working harbour first and a tourist stop second, just off Highway 1 a few minutes south of Duncan, and that order is exactly why people who visit for an afternoon end up asking about real estate before they leave.

A Working Harbour, Not a Postcard

The bay itself is what sets the village apart — a cluster of stilt homes on pilings down by the boat launch, houseboats tucked along the shore, and fishing boats that still come and go, even if not every day. In season, you can buy prawns right off the boats at the dock, about as close to the source as seafood gets. Herons and seals show up along the shoreline often enough that nobody bothers pointing them out anymore — Cowichan Bay is home to one of the largest great blue heron colonies on Vancouver Island.

Maritime Heritage, Right on the Water

The village’s maritime history is easy to find at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre, a working museum on a heritage pier where the Cowichan Wooden Boat Society still builds and restores classic wooden boats. For a look at what’s offshore, Ocean EcoVentures runs daily whale-watching tours out of the bay and is regarded as one of the top orca-watching operators in the province, with some of the highest sighting rates on the coast.

Where Locals Actually Eat

Cowichan Bay’s small stretch of boardwalk punches well above its size: an organic bakery that’s been a village fixture since 2004 and a couple of well-loved cafés, enough of a food scene that people drive down from Duncan and up from Victoria for lunch alone. It’s the kind of place where a Saturday morning coffee run turns into two hours of browsing the shops and watching boats come in.

Real Estate With a View of the Boats

Homes on the hillside above the village trade in sweeping ocean views, while properties right along the shoreline offer the genuine waterfront buyers are actually after — some with private docks or foreshore access for a boat of your own. It’s a niche we know well: pairing buyers with waterfront, farm, and equestrian properties throughout the Cowichan Valley, and Cowichan Bay is consistently one of the settings people fall for first once they’ve seen it in person.

If a working harbour village with cafés at your doorstep and water at the end of the yard sounds like the right pace of life, we’d love to show you what’s available. Contact Danyliw & Associates, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, at 250.710.6844 or brian.danyliw@sothebysrealty.ca.

5 Things to Know Before Buying Waterfront, Farm, or Equestrian Property in the Cowichan Valley

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:44:58 GMT

The Cowichan Valley draws buyers who want more than a house — they want acreage, water access, or room for horses, and they want it without a Victoria or Vancouver price tag. But rural and waterfront properties come with due diligence steps that a standard suburban purchase doesn’t. Here’s what to check before you write an offer.

Water, septic, and services aren’t automatic

Most acreage and waterfront properties in the Valley run on a well and septic system rather than municipal water and sewer. Before you get attached to a property, ask for well flow-rate reports and septic inspection records, and budget for your own inspection if recent ones aren’t available. Waterfront lots may also have foreshore leases or dock permits that need to be verified and transferred, which can add time to a closing.

Zoning and the Agricultural Land Reserve matter more than the listing photos

A property might show barns, pasture, and a beautiful equestrian setup in the photos, but what you’re actually allowed to build, subdivide, or run as a business depends on its zoning and whether it sits inside the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). ALR land has real restrictions on non-farm uses and secondary dwellings, and they vary by municipality within the Cowichan Valley Regional District. If a second residence, a home-based business, or future subdivision is part of your plan, confirm it with the local zoning bylaw and, where relevant, the Agricultural Land Commission before you’re firmly committed.

Financing looks different for acreage and unique properties

Lenders often treat large acreages, farm properties, and homes with outbuildings differently than a standard residential mortgage, sometimes requiring a larger down payment or a specialized rural lender. If you’re not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, it’s also worth reviewing current foreign buyer rules, which have specific exemptions for recreational and rural property that don’t always apply the way people expect. Getting pre-approved with a lender who’s comfortable with rural and acreage properties — before you start touring — will save you from falling for a property you can’t actually finance the way you hoped.

Buying waterfront, farm, or equestrian property in the Cowichan Valley is one of the best ways to get real acreage and a real lifestyle change without leaving Vancouver Island. It just takes the right questions asked early. If you’re thinking about a purchase in this space, or want a second opinion on a property you’ve found, we’d love to help you work through it.

The area also boasts a beautiful beach and a popular local pub. With R1 zoning that allows for two-family dwellings and a minimum lot size of 18,029 sq. ft. (0.41 acres), this property may have development potential (Buyer to verify). Driveway and septic covenants are already registered, and the seller may offer VTB financing for qualified buyers.

Why the Cowichan Valley Is Vancouver Island’s Best-Kept Secret

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 23:31:54 GMT

There’s a stretch of Vancouver Island that most visitors drive straight through on their way to somewhere else — and locals are more than happy to keep it that way. The Cowichan Valley, tucked between the Malahat and Lake Cowichan, has warmer summers than almost anywhere else on the island, a working wine region that rivals the Okanagan in quality if not yet in fame, and some of the most varied real estate on the coast: oceanfront acreages, working farms, equestrian estates, and quiet lakefront cabins, often for a fraction of what comparable properties fetch in Victoria or Vancouver.

A lifestyle you can’t fake

Genoa Bay, Maple Bay, and Cowichan Bay still feel like the small coastal communities they’ve always been — fishing boats at the dock, a general store instead of a strip mall, and a floatplane that can have you in downtown Vancouver in under half an hour when you need it. Add in the Cowichan Valley Trail for hiking and biking, some of the best freshwater fishing on the island, and a growing food-and-wine scene built around local farms and vineyards, and it’s easy to see why buyers who come for a weekend often start house-hunting by Monday.

Room to actually spread out

What sets the Cowichan Valley apart isn’t just the scenery, it’s the range of property you can actually buy here. Waterfront homes with real acreage. Working farms with barns and pasture already in place. Equestrian properties built for horses, not just zoned for them. It’s the kind of inventory that’s disappeared from most of Vancouver Island, and it’s a big part of why we specialize in exactly these categories.

If you’ve been thinking about a move to the Cowichan Valley, or just want to know what your property would be worth here, we’d love to help you explore it. Contact Danyliw & Associates, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, at 250.710.6844 or brian.danyliw@sothebysrealty.ca.
