Salt Spring Island Real Estate Buyers Guide It's time to Escape to Salt Spring Island British Columbia
Scott Simmons

Escape to Salt Spring


Crofton British Columbia


Crofton real estate prices are about half that of Salt Spring. In some ways Crofton BC Canada is a great deal. It gets great views of Salt Spring and is level and sunny. Now there is some down side to Crofton British Columbia, the pulp mill. To put it bluntly it can stink. The question for the Crofton buyer is will the mill always be there? I think it will close in the next 10 years but I am not an expert in the Pulp and Paper industry.

Here is some Crofton mill information:

The anti mill site and here is another site with articles on the mill.

The company site  .

Here is a good site on the pulp and paper industry . It is a tough industry with the Chinese coming on strong. I am not against the industry in any way but why not look at it realistically. Here is a good CBC article on the pulp and paper industry and the perfect storm brewing.

The North Cowichan district site.  A tourist site on Crofton .

Here is what Ozzie Jurock has to say about Crofton . The point is Crofton Real Estate is discounted because of the mill. I read most of the press releases on the mill and think that if the mill closes Crofton property prices could go way up.

Because Crofton is in a different real estate board I can not host the MLS® for Crofton on my site. I can still work with you in buying any home in Crofton. Crofton is only 25 minutes away by ferry from Salt Spring.

Visit mls.ca for Crofton Real estate.

I can work as a buyer agent in any town or city in British Columbia.

Cheers

Crofton BC will be the nicest town on the west side of Vancouver Island


Crofton will be the nicest town on the whole west side of Vancover Island. In twenty years from now the mill may become a high end casino and golf course with cruse ships pulling in.

The lay of the land is so great in Crofton. It is on the sunny side of the Island and faces east to Salt Spring. Almost all the houses in the town could or have an ocean view. The land is gentley sloping like a large bowl.
