Greater Victoria Neighbourhoods: East Sooke

East Sooke is a terrific way to leave behind city life, yet still be a half-hour drive from civilization. It is stunningly beautiful and peaceful.

Nature lovers and water sport enthusiasts will truly appreciate East Sooke peninsula. Most of the southern and western coastlines are often called “Nature’s Gallery”. The area is part of the East Sooke Regional Park with 10 km of ruggedly beautiful Coast Trail and 50 km of hiking trails. The park is so large, you can wander it for a day and rarely run into other people.

Many properties border the park and have the most affordable waterfront properties on southern Vancouver Island. Homes found along the Sooke Basin have access to protected deep water and some have their own docks to access the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Away from the coastline, rugged mountaintop estates offer stunning vistas.

Public access to the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Roche Cove or East Sooke Park make it easy to set out on sailing adventures, world-class salmon and halibut fishing, or to launch your canoe or kayak.

Schools close at hand include Sooke and Saseenos Elementary, Journey Middle School and Edward Milne High School.

There is a good deal of undeveloped land available, both waterfront and mountaintop, for those who want to build their own home.
