Description

Riverside living. This inviting 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans two levels and is built on solid ground. Warm wood floors and trim add timeless charm, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light. A set of sliding doors opens onto the front deck, the perfect place to relax and enjoy the soothing sounds and views of the river. Just steps away, you can launch your canoe or kayak for a peaceful paddle. The home has newly installed heat pumps one on each level, the roof shingles were replaced in 2019 and for added peace of mind and the windows have been replaced. The garage has been converted into a functional workshop with built-in storage, ideal for hobbies or projects. Outside, you’ll find multiple garden spaces and a partially fenced backyard to enjoy. Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Tahsis is a premier ecotourism destination, offering world-class outdoor recreation—from sport fishing, hiking, and caving to diving and endless breathtaking scenery.

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
