Explore Metchosin

Acreages, shoreline, and quiet rural living on the edge of the Westshore.

Back to Westshore Overview

Metchosin is rural and intends to stay that way. Hobby farms, horse properties, and acreages define the landscape. The community actively resists the development pressure that has transformed neighbouring Langford, and the result is a distinctly country feel just 20 minutes from downtown Victoria.

Whether you want land for animals, a small farm operation, or a quiet retreat surrounded by pastures and forest, Metchosin offers a lifestyle that has all but disappeared from the rest of the CRD.

Properties here typically sit on 1-10+ acres, with prices ranging from $1.1M to well over $2M depending on land size, ocean views, and improvements. Expect older character homes, custom builds, and the occasional fixer-upper on raw land. No condos, no townhomes - Metchosin is acreage-only. Buyers are often horse owners, hobby farmers, or families seeking rural living without leaving Greater Victoria.

Agricultural Roots

Metchosin's zoning protects farmland and rural properties. Expect acreages, hobby farms, and room for livestock.

Community

Tight-knit and engaged. Metchosin residents show up for local events, support the farmers market, and take pride in keeping the area rural.

Nature

Witty's Lagoon, Matheson Lake, and Devonian Park put protected green space throughout the municipality. Trails and beaches are never far.
