Steps from the sandy shores of Matthews Point Park, Lot 1 Orca View Lane is a nature lover’s dream. A roughed-in driveway meanders through delicate wildflowers to a variety of sun-dappled build sites nestled among towering fir, majestic cedar, and stunning arbutus. An ample 8 GPM well and hydro at lot line provides the essentials for creating your island escape. Zoning allows for a home, cottage, and accessory buildings. An adjacent private trail leads directly to the coveted "secret" beach—ideal for whale watching, beach combing, and sandcastle building. With the neighbouring lot also available, this is a rare opportunity for a multi-family sanctuary or investment on gorgeous Galiano Island.
GETTING HERE Less than 3 km from Sturdies Bay, Orca View Lane is a private laneway and common area that winds west from Mary Ann Point Road. The lane follows gently rolling, forested terrain to Orca View—a brand-new rural residential development featuring four bare land strata lots adjacent to the Matthews Point Public Beach access trail.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Hike directly from your home to the stunning Matthews “secret” beach midway in Active Pass. Maybe catch sight of the orcas that regularly traverse these stunning tidal waters. Matthews Beach is opposite where the super ferries pass – that remote strip of sand below the bluff that you’ve always wondered how to get to. From the beach trail, continue west through Matthews Point Regional Park which links directly with the incredible Bluffs Park. Miles of protected bluffs, breathtaking views, and forests with meandering trails without crossing a road. At low tide, the shoreline comes alive with marine life—explore tide pools, rocky outcrops, and the serene rhythm of coastal living.
