2364 French Road North

Tax Assessed Value 2026: $661000 - Priced to sell.

Welcome to a little piece of wild, untamed, virgin rain forest! Located just within the Sooke Municipal Development area (paved road, power, water, etc). Sooke is in the Greater Victoria area which boasts the warmest year-round climate in all of Canada with very mild winters and temperate summers. This means the longest growing season and easiest lifestyle to live outdoors and be healthy! +/- 15000 population.

This property has been untouched and undisturbed so represents a unique opportunity for one to commune with extremely old cedar and hemlock(?) trees that are 40+ ft tall and looking absolutely majestic. In total I estimate there are more than 25 of these trees on the property plus wild berry shrubs. Once some trees are removed (possibly sell lumber?) and your building envelope developed, you will have an incredible view of the ocean/bay. From the northwest end of the property on Mountain Heights drive, you can walk west a block or so and there will be a walkway turning south which will give you an idea of the amazing view you could have from the property - stunning! The property desirably slopes northwest to southeast for ample connection with the sunshine and ocean/bay views.

The property is 0.623 acres (2517 m2), zoned R2 and meets size requirements for subdivision (perhaps one access from French Road on the southeast side and another from Mountain Heights Drive on the northwest side?). Given the neighbor immediately to the west seems to have subdivided in the past with a similar size lot, and the topography looks virtually identical, this can be a consideration for helping pay for the property or, perhaps, buy with a friend and share the costs to develop the property? This zoning also allows for a du-plex and multi-unit options so there is a lot you could do with the property. I've spoken with planning department and confirmed the land allows for these proposals. Speak to them about any questions you have around development.

You can lookup all the details of the property from a paperwork and tax perspective, historical etc through this Sooke portal:

If desired, I can also pass on local contacts I have for:

1) Tree Removal (and possible sale of the wood produced on site [could be significant?])

2) Excavator and Backhoe work for driveways.

3) Organic Farmers in the area that could be great contacts to ground you in the community
