Address: 4315 Sunshine Coast Highway, Sechelt 

Price: $5,900,000 

Listing: R2728409 

The skinny: Three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 5,926 square foot house on 10.7 acres of land in Sechelt. 

The bling: The first thing you notice about this property is how insanely beautiful the land around it is. Situated on some 450 feet of pebble beach waterfront—not to mention a plethora of garden space and an actual creek running through the property—this is a stunning mass of land.

The second, third (and fourth and fifth and sixth…) things you notice about the property are also how insanely beautiful the land around it is. That’s because there are no actual photos of the interior of the house. You know a listing is stretching things out when there are five (5!) photos of the creek, including a couple shots that look like they landed on the cutting room floor at National Geographic.  

The listing essentially admits that anyone with the dough to shell on this property is going to knock down the house on it immediately: “Enjoy comfortable living while planning for either a renovation or complete reconstruction to fully take advantage of a prime building location.” The word “comfortable” has never taken so much shade. Maybe the assumption that you’re adding millions onto what’s already a pricy purchase is the reason this house has been on the market for over 170 days.  

But hey, the property, especially the overhead photo, sure seems like it could double as the set for Lost. Maybe there’s a hatch somewhere there with an interior that the listing would deem suitable. 

The hidden extras: Wilson Creek and its abundant wildlife literally flow through this property.
