Living on Read Island offers seclusion, natural beauty, and a lifestyle closely connected to the ocean. Accessible only by boat, the community attracts residents who value privacy, sustainability, and quiet living. Housing includes off grid cabins, waterfront cottages, and acreages with forest and shoreline views. With more than 30 years on Vancouver Island, I track actual market value and market movement so you can see what daily life and housing on Read Island are really like.
