The Cape on Bowen Community Development

Just 20 minutes of a ferry ride from Vancouver Mainland, The Cape on Bowen encompasses 618 acres at the southwest tip of Bowen Island. Now for sale are two of a total of thirty-two 10-acre estates, within an idyllic, tight-knit island of friendly, caring neighbors who form truly intimate human connection based on shared lifestyle, passions and values. Residents get together and look out for each other. Children play with neighboring children. Even dogs know their way through the forest and have "self-organized" playdates with neighboring dogs! Here, families tread lightly on the land and its natural resources, and most have built homes that are exemplary in green building systems and technologies. Groundwater wells are in place and septic is pre-approved. 48,438 sf of above-grade buildable area is permitted through a primary residence, secondary dwelling, and up to 20 secondary structures that could accommodate farm stables, home-based business, workshops, studios, and up to 5 guest cottages totalling 93sm (1001sf).

Living here, you'll be immersed in exceptional quietude and tranquility - at one with nature, inspired, nourished, grounded and empowered by it every day. Imagine the sense of comfort in "arriving home" to lush forest, and the utter magic of witnessing the activity and listening to the magnificent calls of animals. You will experience daily sightings of eagles, orcas, seals, otters, sea lions and deer, among other diverse wildlife.

The southwest-facing exposure of The Cape features exceptional sunshine and is warmer than the rest of the island by an average 3 degrees Celsius. The development provides an extensive network of trails leading all throughout this unforgettable coastal property, connecting iconic landmark viewpoints, beaches, and vast, lush forest. There is simply nothing else like it!

Along the western waterfront is a 1-km sunset trail that connects the Cape Roger Curtis Lighthouse park, Roger Curtis pebble beach, and what the island knows to be "Proposal Point" - a romantic viewpoint where couples get engaged. In between there is a spectacular cantilevered walkway overhanging a coastal bluff. On the southern shore within this development is a 32-acre managed Nature Reserve that welcomes the public.

To live at the Cape is an absolute privilege. Here is a precious ecological system, rare and diverse. This is a role model development that honors natural heritage. And here, we invite and welcome a community of conscious residents who cherish Mother Earth, and would be proud, proactive stewards of this unique area that is part of the Howe Sound Biosphere. Since 2022, a total of 272 acres have been transferred from private ownership into the public domain. This was only possible with the convergence of multiple stakeholders, all coming together in the interest of tangibly valuing Mother Earth. Through the incredible generosity of philanthropic donations, 192 acres of The Cape is now under the stewardship of Bowen Island Conservancy, including 112 acres of southern waterfront. An additional 80 acres is Metro Vancouver Regional District land.
