Just a few doors from one of Denman Island’s most beautiful sandy beaches and a one-minute stroll from Fillongley Provincial Park, this charming 914 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage sits on a peaceful half-acre. Warm maple floors, original kitchen cabinetry and a Norwegian Jøtul woodstove give the home wonderful character, while the bright sunroom bedroom creates the feeling of sleeping outdoors year-round. The property is framed by beautiful cedar and fir trees, productive apple and cherry trees, and space to garden and relax.

Mid-century modern with two titles! This Westcoast home on a 1.21-acre double lot offers exceptional potential. Built in 1975, the home is wrapped in clear cedar walls and vaulted ceilings, showcasing a level of craftsmanship and natural material that would be extraordinarily expensive to recreate today. From the modest front entry, the home opens unexpectedly as the cedar ceilings rise overhead and the spacious country kitchen becomes the heart of the home. A fully functional wood-fired cookstove brings warmth, character, and a connection to a simpler way of living. Large windows fill the living room with natural light, while upstairs bedrooms enjoy glimpses toward Baynes Sound and the mainland mountains. Outside, mature trees, fenced fruit-growing areas, and sunny gardens complement the peaceful setting. A quiet public beach is a short walk away, while Denman’s village, cafe, school, medical clinic, community hall, and ferry are all within an easy bike ride.

On Denman’s east shore, this two-storey waterfront home sits above Lambert Channel with long views across calm water to Hornby and Texada Islands.

Graham Lake water services this property. A two-flight staircase descends through mature fir and cedar to the rocky foreshore, where the right tide opens up a favourite jumping spot into the sound. Recent updates include roof (2019), deck membrane and railings (2020), beach stairs (2020), and fresh exterior paint (2025). East Road waterfront — the kind of place people don’t leave.

Built in 2021 with helical screw foundations, steel stud framing, metal siding, and galvanized steel roofs, these fire-smart homes are exceptionally durable and low maintenance. Productive gardens, fruit trees, a greenhouse, workshop, and winding forest trails complete the setting. Just minutes from beaches and park trails, this is more than a beautiful property—it’s a thoughtfully designed place to grow, create, and embrace an intentional island lifestyle for generations to come.

I have listed a new property at - East Rd in Denman Island. See details here

4.14 acres of lightly used Denman Island property, in the same family for over 60 years. East Road runs between the land and the water, but the views are unobstructed — 790 feet of ocean frontage facing out across Lambert Chanel and Hornby Island, with the kind of exposure that makes you stop what you’re doing. Old forest, two seasonal creeks, and several natural building sites with power at the road. A washed-out trail once led to a truly magical spot at the water’s edge; the path is there to reclaim and the private access is yours to own. Zoned R2, the property suits a range of intentions — retreat, legacy holding, or a place to build something that lasts. Eagles are regulars. The wildlife doesn’t know it’s for sale. Foreign buyer ban exempt. Buyer to verify all zoning and development requirements.

Below, a 940 sq ft finished basement with 6’3” ceilings adds real flexibility: guest quarters, studio space, home office, or a dedicated room for whatever projects you’ve been putting off. The property has been immaculately maintained, has it’s own well, septic, an attached garage, a detached workshop, and backup generator wiring ready. Well-insulated, low-maintenance, and genuinely move-in ready. As comfortable for full-time island living as it is for a longer-term retreat.
