MLS® Sub-Area · Howe Sound
Porteau Cove
A handful of properties by the provincial park, between Lions Bay and Furry Creek.
The Short Version
Porteau Cove is a small, rural pocket on the Sea to Sky Highway between Lions Bay and Furry Creek, around Porteau Cove Provincial Park. There are only a handful of private properties here, mostly detached homes and the occasional lot, set between the highway, the railway and the water.
It's in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District rather than West Vancouver, and it's one of the quietest places on the whole Sea to Sky corridor.
What You're Buying
What sets Porteau Cove apart
The assets, the trade-offs and the details worth checking before you make an offer.
A Provincial Park Next Door
Water and mountains, with few neighbours.
Porteau Cove Provincial Park is known for its beach, boat launch, camping and scuba diving, and the sound is right in front of you.
The park is busy on summer weekends, and there are no shops nearby. Squamish and Lions Bay are the closest places for errands.
Rural Services
Plan for them before you buy.
Privacy and space that are hard to find this close to the city.
Water and wastewater are often handled on site rather than by a municipal system. Confirm the water source and its licence, test the water, and inspect the septic system as part of your subjects.
Buying Land or Building
Regional district rules apply.
When a lot comes up, it's a rare chance to build on Howe Sound.
Zoning, permits and development rules come from the regional district. Before you firm up an offer, confirm what can be built, the access and services, and anything registered on title, and get geotechnical advice on slope and drainage.
"Porteau Cove is about as close to the country as you can get on the Sea to Sky. With so few properties, every purchase needs its own homework, and I'm happy to do it with you."

Catchments are set by address, not by neighbourhood, so treat this as a starting point.

This area sits outside West Vancouver Schools. Properties here generally fall in the Sea to Sky School District, with schools in Squamish, but boundaries and bus routes are set by address.

The Numbers
The Porteau Cove market
Porteau Cove sees only a handful of sales in a typical year, too few for monthly averages to mean much. I look at it home by home instead: ask me for recent sales near the property you're considering.
