Hello, friends! It's Monica Peckford here, your lifelong Powell River local, RE/MAX REALTOR®, and Invis Mortgage Broker. With 29+ years helping families find their dream spots on the Sunshine Coast and 24+ years guiding them through mortgages, I have a special soft spot for Savary Island – often called the "Hawaii of the North" for its incredible white sandy beaches, warm summer waters, and laid-back island vibe. As someone who's lived in this region my whole life (since age 9!), raised my kids Ashley, Kyle, and Rachel here, and helped countless clients secure properties on Savary, I know firsthand why it's such a sought-after escape.
Savary Island is a car-free gem just a short water taxi ride from Lund (about 15 minutes), making it perfect for summer getaways, family retreats, or even year-round off-grid living with solar setups. Access is easy: Drive or ferry to Powell River, head to Lund, then hop on a water taxi (services like Access Point Marine or Lund Water Taxi run regularly in summer). No cars needed on-island – bikes, golf carts, or walking do the trick! It's all about that peaceful, nature-immersed lifestyle amid Desolation Sound's beauty.
Here are some breathtaking views of Savary Island's famous sandy beaches and waterfront charm that draw so many buyers:
Current Savary Island Real Estate Snapshot (January 2026)
The Savary market remains stable and appealing in early 2026, with average listing prices around $444,000–$582,000 for homes (detached averages higher), and many options in the $200,000–$1M+ range for land and cottages. Inventory includes a mix of cozy cabins, modern waterfront homes, and vacant lots ideal for building your custom paradise. Demand stays strong for beach-access properties, thanks to the island's endless white sands, warm waters, and proximity to trails, the general store, farmers market, and spots like Rigger’s Pub.
