Welcome to a rare off-grid opportunity in Sooke’s scenic rural landscape! Governed by the District of Sooke’s RU 102 zoning designation (Schedule 102 – Rural / RU2), this private 5.486-acre parcel allows for a rich variety of rural activities—including agriculture, aquaculture, home-based businesses, and flexible residential options. Whether envisioning a multi-family compound, shared family estate, or private retreat, the zoning allows for up to 3 single-family dwellings, manufactured homes, or 1 duplex (often with accessory suites). While not eligible for subdivision, the expansive acreage offers ultimate freedom and privacy. An 800-foot concrete driveway winds up to a spectacular "top of the world" building site boasting optimal sun exposure—making it an ideal location for solar panel placement to power a self-sustained lifestyle while taking in endless, panoramic views of the ocean, lush hills, and majestic mountains across the water. At the top sits an existing 1986-built, 2-storey wood-framed structure (1,414 sq ft per floor, 2,828 sq ft total, plus carport). Built to last, this solid building footprint comes equipped with a durable metal roof, staircase, windows, and numerous framed-in rooms with studs already set. The home is unfinished and requires a new building permit, presenting an incredible head start for anyone ready to bring their carpenter skills, creativity, and vision to complete a custom masterpiece. Utility infrastructure includes a street-side municipal water connection already in place, while a hydro transmission line runs through property. Hydro pole on Sooke River Road. As a scenic bonus, a section of the historic Sooke Flowline—a decommissioned 44 km concrete aqueduct—runs along the rear boundary, creating a private walking trail through the forest. Located just minutes from core Sooke amenities, this property delivers endless potential! NO ENTRY WITHOUT LISTING AGENT OR REALTOR®.
