A Strategic Vancouver Island Location

Positioned beside the Arrowsmith Golf & Country Club and surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, the property combines privacy, accessibility, and natural beauty.

Located just minutes from Qualicum Beach, future owners will benefit from access to:

Qualicum Beach amenities
Highway 19 transportation corridors
Parksville commercial services
Vancouver Island tourism routes
Nearby recreation, golf, beaches, and trails

The property's location creates a rare balance between rural tranquility and convenient access to urban services.

Existing Infrastructure Creates Significant Value

One of the most compelling aspects of 2300 Fowler Road is the substantial infrastructure already in place.

The existing structure offers approximately:

29,000 square feet of building area
Former 95-unit seniors residence layout
Significant roof upgrades already completed
Existing utility and servicing framework
Large-scale redevelopment potential

Rather than starting with raw land, purchasers have the opportunity to build upon substantial existing improvements. This can dramatically reduce redevelopment timelines and create opportunities unavailable on vacant land parcels.

Flexible Zoning and Future Possibilities

The property features a combination of:

I-1 Resource Industrial zoning at the front
AG-1 Agricultural zoning at the rear
Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) designation on portions of the property

This combination creates a unique opportunity for buyers willing to explore creative development concepts.

Potential future uses may include:

• Seniors Housing
• Given the site's previous use, the property may appeal to operators seeking to re-establish seniors-oriented housing or care facilities.
• Wellness and Retreat Centres
• The peaceful surroundings, mountain views, and expansive acreage make the site ideal for wellness, health, and retreat-based concepts.
• Educational and Training Facilities
• The existing building footprint and campus-like setting could lend itself to educational, training, or institutional uses.
• Agri-Tourism Ventures
• The agricultural component of the property creates possibilities for tourism, farm-based experiences, food production, or mixed-use concepts.
• Health and Community Facilities

Large building areas combined with significant land holdings offer opportunities for specialized health or community-focused developments.

Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitted uses, and future development potential.
