This self-sustaining estate in British Columbia’s remote Discovery Islands archipelago, positioned between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast, reflects a shift in luxury toward environments defined by privacy, access, wildlife, and limited connectivity.
A 120-acre estate on Stuart Island in British Columbia, Canada is currently on the market with Leblanc Piercy Group of Engel & Völkers Victoria, offering a fully off-grid, self-sustaining residential compound anchored by a timber-frame waterfront lodge.
The estate was previously offered in 2018 at C$19.5 million, though no recorded sale followed. It re-entered the market in December 2025 and is currently listed at C$15,488,000 (~ $11.3M USD / £8.9M / €10.4M).
Known as Goose Landing, the property is located on Stuart Island, part of the remote Discovery Islands archipelago positioned between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast. The nearest urban centre is Campbell River, typically reached in just over an hour by boat or approximately 10 minutes by floatplane. The island has no ferry or road access, with arrival limited to private boat, floatplane, or helicopter.
Access is provided via a private 94-foot dock and a boathouse measuring approximately 1,006 square feet (93 m²), allowing for direct marine arrival. A helipad is also located on the property, enabling access by helicopter, alongside established floatplane routes servicing the region.
The property spans approximately 120 acres (48.68 hectares), including roughly one kilometre of oceanfront shoreline. The landscape is predominantly composed of temperate old-growth rainforest, with a network of trails, oceanfront boardwalks, and internal access routes extending across the site. Natural features include creeks, ponds, and a private lake.
Originally built in 2008, the estate is configured as a multi-structure compound rather than a single residence. The main lodge, a post-and-beam timber home set directly on the waterfront, spans approximately 3,660 square feet (340 m²) and includes three bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, and a central stone fireplace connecting the primary living spaces. A wraparound deck, with covered sections, extends from the main living areas and is oriented toward the surrounding water.
Additional accommodation is distributed across several buildings, including a three-bedroom guest house arranged over multiple levels, spanning approximately 3,287 square feet (305 m²). Further structures include separate staff and caretaker residences, a workshop with integrated staff quarters, and a standalone art studio of approximately 288 square feet (27 m²). In total, the property comprises approximately 9,152 square feet (850 m²) of interior living space and more than 15,000 square feet (1,424 m²) of built area.
Beyond its residential footprint, the estate is defined by its off-grid infrastructure. The property includes multiple generators, four drilled wells, underground plumbing and electrical systems, workshops, utility buildings, and greenhouse structures with raised garden beds for on-site cultivation. The systems are designed to support fully self-sustaining operation without reliance on municipal services.
The surrounding land remains largely undeveloped, consisting of forested terrain and protected shoreline, reinforcing its positioning as a remote-use property rather than a conventional secondary residence. Located across from Sonora Resort on Sonora Island—a high-end wilderness lodge known for attracting guests seeking remote, nature-driven experiences—the setting reflects a broader shift toward private, access-controlled environments defined by wildlife, seclusion, and limited connectivity.
Configured as a multi-structure compound, the estate combines a large-scale land holding, approximately one kilometre of ocean frontage, and fully independent infrastructure within one of the most remote coastal regions of British Columbia.
