A Rare Opportunity – Forested 5 acre Ocean Retreat with Shared Vision and Untouched Beauty! What started as a simple thought— “Why don’t I get others to go in with me – buy the property and subdivide it?”—became OROBOROS PROPERTIES LIMITED, a family dream turned into a shared legacy of over 64 acres in common. This is more than just property; it’s a community rooted in respect for nature, sustainability, and vision. Nestled in an untouched, old-growth forest not logged in over 60 years, some of the trees are over 150 years old. Within this unique strata community, a partially finished custom log home sits perched on a rocky ledge, perfectly positioned for sweeping ocean views, mountain vistas, and awe-inspiring sunsets. The great room, open to the upper floor and wrapped in glass, is designed to capture natural light and landscape. Finish the home your way to suit your lifestyle. The Commons offer forested trails, a man-made pond once used for swimming and stocked with carp (now awaiting revitalization), and a seasonal stream that brings movement and serenity. The pond also serves as a water source with fire hydrant access. Sustainable living is built in selective logging, firewood collection, and use of shared equipment (backhoe, woodchipper). Included in the sale: 1/7 ownership of a separate 10-acre fee-simple lot—a reserve for emergency funding or potential income (logging or tree farming). Strata-owned power line and road access are maintained year-round by a rotating manager and service crew. Secluded yet accessible—just 45 minutes to downtown and 30 to Victoria General Hospital. Motto: Protect. Enhance. Pass It On. Step into a legacy built on vision, community, and care.

Not quite built yet.

[Victoria Watcher]

Sometimes I wonder the story behind this kind of thing. 

 

I guess in addition to just finances, there could be illness or death, move, family break-up etc.   

 

Even some logs not placed for the deck supports.

At first glance this seems wildly overpriced, it may be waterfront but it is in Sooke and on a cliff, What am I missing?

[Mike K.]

Whatever sort of crime that comes along with living in your neighbourhood?

[lanforod]

Mike K as a neighbour? That drives the price way up, no?

[Mike K.]

Oh you’ll be driving, alright.

[aastra]

 

Mike K as a neighbour? That drives the price way up, no?

 

The appeals of listening to someone improvising on an out-of-tune yaybahar 24/7 might not be as great as you think.

 

But having Mike K. as a neighbour would definitely drive up your insurance rates. His bocce aim is notoriously bad.

[Matt R.]

Plus he’d be stealth camping in your yard the whole time. Who needs that.

^   Now that's a good picture.  Love that low perspective.

 

Public beach access right next door (Cranford Park - see it on the left of above photo).   Some might not like that for privacy.

Maybe they’ve stabilized the bank.

[Blair M.]

I recall first seeing that Campion Road home come up for sale at least 6 or 7 years ago. 

It's been for sale constantly since then.

 

It's a beautiful home, and a stunning view - but one can't help noting that it looks like it will all, over time, eventually wind up down at the waters edge.

One would guess that any buyer paying $12 million for a home on the edge of one of the highest, steepest dirt cliffs in the CRD would get some sort of land engineering survey done first.
