Ten Mile Point

Ten Mile Point Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Saanich, BC


Ten Mile Point is one of Greater Victoria's most exclusive and naturally spectacular residential enclaves — a rocky peninsula that juts into Haro Strait at the northeastern tip of the Saanich municipality, offering some of the most dramatic oceanfront and ocean view real estate on Vancouver Island. Named for its distance from the original Fort Victoria, Ten Mile Point today attracts buyers who seek absolute privacy, breathtaking ocean vistas, direct waterfront access, and a genuine connection to the untamed natural beauty of BC's Pacific coastline.


The Landscape & Lifestyle of Ten Mile Point


Ten Mile Point's defining characteristic is its raw geological drama. The peninsula's coastline is a continuous sequence of rocky headlands, sheltered coves, tidal pools, and protected bays that change character with every tide and season. Panoramic views from Ten Mile Point properties encompass Haro Strait, the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, and on clear days, the distant peaks of the Cascade Range — a visual experience that ranks among the finest available anywhere in British Columbia.


Much of Ten Mile Point's foreshore is accessible via a network of informal coastal walking paths beloved by residents and wildlife observers alike. Orcas, harbour seals, sea otters, great blue herons, and migratory shorebirds regularly frequent the point's waters, making everyday life here feel genuinely extraordinary. The absence of through traffic and the relatively small number of properties ensure a level of quietude that buyers find increasingly difficult to locate within Victoria's urban boundary.


Ten Mile Point Homes for Sale: Property Types & Pricing


The Ten Mile Point real estate market is defined by significant scarcity — relatively few properties exist in this enclave, and turnover is low, as owners tend to hold their properties for extended periods. When properties do become available, they attract considerable attention from buyers who have specifically identified Ten Mile Point as their target neighbourhood.


Homes on the point range from established mid-century and post-war residences on spacious lots to custom-built contemporary estates perched on oceanfront bluffs with floor-to-ceiling glazing designed to maximize the extraordinary views. Many properties offer private beach or tidewater access, deep-water frontage suitable for moorage, and landscaping that integrates thoughtfully with the native rocky terrain and Garry oak ecosystems. Pricing at Ten Mile Point reflects the rarity of the location, placing this neighbourhood among the highest per-acre values in Greater Victoria.


Proximity to Amenities & Victoria


Despite its secluded character, Ten Mile Point is genuinely convenient. The University of Victoria is just minutes away, and the beach village of Cadboro Bay with its grocery store, cafes, and restaurants is immediately adjacent. Downtown Victoria is a comfortable 20-minute drive, while BC Ferries at Swartz Bay and Victoria International Airport are accessible within 30 minutes.


Schools & Education Near Ten Mile Point


Families with school-aged children will find excellent educational options nearby. Cadboro Bay Elementary School and Arbutus Middle School are close by, and the neighbourhood falls within the catchment for highly regarded high schools serving the Gordon Head and Saanich areas. The proximity to UVic makes Ten Mile Point particularly appealing to academic families.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ten Mile Point

What makes Ten Mile Point the most exclusive neighborhood in Victoria?

Ten Mile Point is Victoria's ultimate luxury enclave, characterized by sprawling estates, stunning ocean views, private beach access, and extreme seclusion. The neighborhood has only a handful of large properties, making it exceptionally exclusive and desirable. Homes here represent the pinnacle of Vancouver Island luxury living with prices ranging from $3M to $15M+. The neighborhood's exclusivity is protected by its limited inventory and selective community standards.

What is the typical property size and price in Ten Mile Point?

Ten Mile Point features large estates, typically 1+ acres with sprawling homes of 5,000-10,000+ square feet. Most properties include guest houses, extensive grounds, and private amenities. Prices range from $3 million to $15 million+, with properties rarely on the market. Average property prices are among Victoria's highest. The low inventory means opportunities are selective and require advance notification from a connected realtor like Stephen Foster. 

Are properties in Ten Mile Point family-friendly?

While Ten Mile Point is exclusive and secluded, it can be excellent for families wanting privacy and space. The large properties offer room for children to explore, play, and grow in a natural setting. The school district is excellent with strong options for secondary education. However, the remote location and limited walkability mean families should have vehicles and appreciate a more secluded lifestyle. It's ideal for families valuing privacy and nature over urban convenience.

What waterfront and beach access is available?

Ten Mile Point features some of Victoria's most stunning private beach access with dramatic coastal views and rocky shoreline. Most properties have private beach frontage or direct water access. Properties often include boat docks, private moorings, or beach access perfect for kayaking and boating. The protected waters and scenic backdrop make it a boater's paradise. Many owners enjoy private beach access as a signature luxury amenity.

What recreational activities and amenities are available?

Ten Mile Point offers beach walks, kayaking, boating, and private water access. Nearby Cadboro Point provides hiking trails and scenic views. Golf courses (Uplands, Victoria Golf Club) are within 10-15 minutes. The neighborhood itself is quiet and nature-focused, offering privacy and connection to the natural environment. Many residents enjoy outdoor activities, golf, and water sports as part of their lifestyle here.

How does Ten Mile Point compare to Cadboro Bay and Oak Bay?

All three are prestigious waterfront communities, but with different characteristics. Cadboro Bay is more family-oriented with wider affordability range ($700K-$5M). Oak Bay is exclusive with golf courses and urban amenities ($390K-$52M range). Ten Mile Point is most secluded and intimate with larger estates and higher prices ($3M-$15M+). Ten Mile Point appeals to buyers wanting ultimate privacy and exclusivity; Cadboro Bay and Oak Bay offer more walkable, community-focused lifestyles.

What are property taxes in Ten Mile Point?

Property taxes are proportional to high assessed values. A $5M property typically pays $15,000-$18,000+ annually in property taxes. A $10M estate may pay $25,000-$30,000+. However, the high property values mean excellent potential appreciation. Stephen Foster can provide exact tax estimates based on specific properties. Owners should budget accordingly and consider the long-term investment potential of Ten Mile Point real estate.

How private is the neighborhood?

Ten Mile Point is exceptionally private with large properties set back from roads, limited through-traffic, and minimal commercial activity. The neighborhood has few homes and is designed for privacy and exclusivity. Most residents specifically choose this area for its seclusion and peaceful environment. Privacy is a defining characteristic that attracts discerning buyers seeking to escape urban environments while maintaining access to Victoria amenities.

Is there shopping and dining nearby?

Ten Mile Point is remote, so shopping and dining require 15-20 minute drives. Cadboro Bay, Oak Bay, and downtown Victoria offer excellent options. Most residents don't mind this trade-off, as they value privacy over walkable shopping. Properties here are designed as retreats rather than urban bases. Residents typically have vehicles and don't expect walkable amenities within the neighborhood itself.

How quickly do homes sell in Ten Mile Point?

Ten Mile Point properties are rarely listed and highly selective. When available, sales can take 2-6+ months as the buyer pool is extremely limited. Market timing, property condition, and pricing significantly impact sale duration. These are not quick-turnover properties—most owners hold for years or decades. Stephen Foster's exclusive network is essential for both buying and selling Ten Mile Point properties efficiently.
