This is an absolutely beautiful 1.58 Acre treed lot. This truly is the perfect spot to build the recreational getaway you've been dreaming of. Galiano Island is less than an hour's ferry from Tsawwassen. The Island may be close to Vancouver, but you feel like you are on a far off vacation the moment you set foot on this island, an island where the clock seems to run a little slower. The property is located on a quiet and is only a 3 minute walk to the golf course and beach access points. It’s walking distance to the pub, market and corner store. This property is very well priced and will not last long. Relax, you’re on island time.

Galiano Island is 27.5 kilometers long, located between Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

Take the Ferry from Tsawwassen Bay to Sturdies Bay on Galiano (50 mins). Head west on Sturdies Bay Rd for 2.5 kms. Turn right after the Humming Bird Pub and follow for 400 meters and turn right on Ellis Road, then take the first right onto Linklater Road and go past the golf course by 300 meters and the property is on the right hand side.

Galiano is glorious in spring, especially for naturalists and bird watchers. Wild flowers flourish in the forests and above the shores, and migrating birds visit on their way to summer nesting grounds.

Fall is a time of golden light, ripe berries and the northern birds returning south. The days are still warm, the air is fragrant and rain is rare before November.

Hike to high points on the island, where you can see the Coast Mountain Range, Mount Baker, the Gulf and San Juan Islands, Vancouver Island and even the Olympic Peninsula 100 kilometers away. Or hike the length of the eastern coast (about 25 kilometers). Galiano beaches are clean and safe. The water is cool but can be quite pleasant on a late incoming tide.

Galiano has more than its share of sand, white-shell and pebble beaches. There are seven parks. A new 141-acre park has been created at Dionisio Point Provincial Park (accessible by water only). It includes spectacular mature forests, rocky points, sandy beaches and a tidal lagoon. The community and its supporters have purchased several areas as ecological reserves: first, Mt. Galiano and Mt. Sutil and, more recently, Bodega Ridge, whose rocky bluff is unique in Western Canada. These eco-sensitive areas will be kept as forests in perpetuity by the Galiano community for the enjoyment of all.

Active Pass and Porlier Pass offer excellent scuba diving and sports fishing. Galiano's protected western shoreline has numerous islands, beaches and small coves below high cliffs. Explore these in a kayak, canoe, rental boat or on a sailing cruise. Visitors are welcome at the Golf & Country Club's well-maintained course.

The island is as rich in history as it is in beauty. Long before Dionisio Galiano came here from Spain in 1792, aboriginal people made their homes here and gathered a rich variety of foods from its forests and shores. Montague Harbour is now a provincial park but for thousands of years it was a major centre of aboriginal life. People of the Coast Salish nation watched eagles ride updrafts from Active Pass, saw otters swimming off the shores, shared their fishing grounds with great blue herons and watched sea lions and killer whales play in Trincomali Channel. As a visitor to Galiano, you can walk the same white-shell beaches and enjoy the same sights and sounds.
