    11.5 private acres, 3,190 sq ft of fully renovated living space, and a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and self-sufficiency near the top of Denman Island. This five-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends the character of an original cabin with a substantial 2021 addition. The heart of the home is a story in two parts. The original cabin, renovated rather than replaced, forms a private primary wing featuring fir floors, exposed timber beams, a three-piece ensuite, and its own deck overlooking the property. The newer addition picks up the thread and runs with it, adding four bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spectacular upper-level family room with soaring ceilings, heavy post-and-beam construction, clerestory windows, a live-edge bar top, and a stone-clad gas fireplace. The kitchen is clean and well-considered — white cabinetry, gas range, pantry — and multiple decks extend the living space outward, including a large main deck with hot tub overlooking the open meadow and forest edge. Durable metal roofing and siding help keep maintenance demands low. Water independence is built into the property in a meaningful way through multiple sources and 8,000 gallons of total storage capacity, with 5,000 gallons fed by rainwater collection off the house roof. On an island where water security matters, that’s not a small thing. The 11.5-acre property offers exceptional privacy, mature forest, established trails, fenced garden area, and abundant room to explore. A yurt platform with unassembled yurt included presents possibilities for a creative use. Located near Graham Lake swimming dock and just minutes from beaches, boat launches, and the 10-minute ferry to Vancouver Island, the property offers easy access to recreation while maintaining a true sense of seclusion. 8400 Owl Crescent is a private island retreat where modern comfort and landscape exist in balance.

    McFarlane Road curves through the south end of Denman Island, and this property has the feeling of land that’s been genuinely lived in and worked. Five and three-quarter private acres, south-facing, with a wooded perimeter enclosing cleared ground that has been planted and tended with real intention over many years. The main house, built in 1981, has the kind of character that comes from authentic hands-on construction that is hard to find in today’s busy world: vaulted post-and-beam living space, wood-paneled ceilings, a log-rail staircase rising to the upper level. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. The kitchen is well made — custom wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, exposed beam ceiling. Free-standing wood stove, metal roof, electric baseboard backup are thoughtful homestead features to build upon. This is an honest fixer-upper; the bones are substantial, and the character is genuine, but the house needs a committed owner ready to invest in its next chapter. The outbuildings suit the property’s character. A sleeping cabin sits in the trees with its own wood stove and pyramid metal roof — a rustic retreat, not a legal suite. An additional two-storey cedar-shingle studio offers workshop or creative space. A covered double carport with storage completes the picture. Water comes from a drilled well and cisterns. The garden is the other reason to pay attention to this property. Mature fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, and established permaculture beds represent years of accumulated work - no amount of money can buy the time it takes to build a sustainable garden like this! The southern exposure across the cleared area means this is land where serious food production is already underway, not just possible. Get your canning jars ready! All structures and their permitted use should be verified by buyers. Denman Island is just a 10 minute ferry ride from Vancouver Island and Hornby Island. Come here to live the simple life and spend your time doing something meaningful. (id:2493) More details

    4.14 acres of semi-oceanfront property has been in the same family since 1963, when a young couple arrived on Denman Island with little more than a tent and a feeling they’d found something worth holding onto. Three generations have spent long summer evenings here watching river otters work the shoreline, launching handmade sailboats, fishing from a small boat, and marking the return of the herring each spring. The land has hosted reunions, milestones, quiet mornings, and the kind of traditions that only accumulate over sixty years of showing up. The property is lightly used and largely intact. East Road runs between the parcel and the water, but the views are unobstructed — 790 feet of exposure across Lambert Channel toward Hornby Island. 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 possibilities are yours to imagine. Foreign buyer ban exempt. Buyer to verify all zoning and development requirements with the Islands Trust. (id:2493) More details

A lovely pond on the property serves as a natural irrigation source for the gardens and perennial beds, adding both beauty and practicality to the landscape. Fresh water is further secured by a deep 150ft drilled well, and a brand new septic system installed February 2026 means the major infrastructure is done and worry-free for years to come.
