Cowichan Valley Waterfront Homes For Sale
113 Listings, Salt Water and Fresh Water TogetherCowichan Valley waterfront homes for sale currently number 113, and the search runs from Shawnigan Lake up to the Chemainus shoreline. Ocean and lake sit side by side in that list, which is unusual and useful, because the two behave nothing alike once you own one. Sort by the kind of water first, then by price.

Salt water and fresh water are two different purchases here. Cowichan Bay, Maple Bay, Genoa Bay and the Crofton shoreline are ocean. Shawnigan, Cowichan Lake and Quamichan are lake. Docks, exposure and the cost of keeping the frontage in shape all change between them.
Ask about the foreshore before you ask about the kitchen. Below the natural boundary the land is usually Crown, and a dock or a boathouse needs tenure that transfers with the sale. Sellers who have that paperwork in order are worth paying a little more for.
Bank height decides how you will use it. A gentle walk down to the water and a 12 metre bank are priced differently and lived in differently. I measure that on the ground rather than trusting an adjective in the listing.
