Coming Soon – 3916 & 3918 Ronald Ave, Royston BC – Two Titles, Ocean Views, Massive Upside

 

Coming Soon – Rare Two-Title Ocean View Opportunity in Royston

A spacious elevated deck overlooking the ocean, showcasing expansive coastal views across the Salish Sea. The vantage point captures stunning sunrises and the glow of Comox night lights in the distance, with the shoreline and water visible just steps away. The deck offers an ideal outdoor living space for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the peaceful seaside setting and uninterrupted west coast scenery.

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. 3916 & 3918 Ronald Ave offer two separate PIDs, two titles, and incredible flexibility, all just steps from the beach in the heart of Royston.

The main residence at 3916 Ronald Ave is a 2005-built home with over 2,100 sq ft of living space, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a large storage area with excellent suite potential. Positioned to capture sweeping ocean views, glowing Comox night lights, and stunning sunrises, this home delivers both lifestyle and long-term value. The septic system was serviced and pumped in 2025, and future beach walkway access toward Courtenay adds even more appeal.

The bonus property at 3918 Ronald Ave (Lot 23) is a fully self-contained cabin that was gutted to the studs in 2023, offering a strong foundation for further value creation. Major updates include a new hot water tank (2023), roof (2015), its own septic, and 100 amp electrical service on a separate meter, wired for a generator. Each lot measures approximately 0.172 acres, and BC Assessment confirms separation can proceed, making this a standout opportunity for investors, multi-generational living, or future resale strategies.

The numbers speak for themselves. The flexibility to sell separately, live in one and rent the other, or hold as a long-term investment creates serious upside in a highly desirable coastal location. Steps to the beach, ocean views, and independent titles make this a property that simply does not come along often.

This is West Coast living with options — and value.
