New Listing – Two Homes, Two Titles, Ocean Views & Serious Upside at 3916 & 3918 Ronald Ave

🌊 New Listing – 3916 & 3918 Ronald Ave
💰 Offered at: $1,249,000
📐 2 PIDs | 2 Titles | Ocean Views | Exceptional Flexibility

exterior view of 3916 and 3918 ronald ave showing ocean view properties with two separate homes on individual titles near the beach

Two homes for the price of one. Two PIDs. Two titles. Serious upside. This rare offering delivers outstanding flexibility, value, and future potential in a sought-after coastal location.

3916 Ronald Ave captures sweeping ocean views, sparkling Comox night lights, and breathtaking sunrises. Built in 2005, this 2,100+ sq ft home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, along with a large storage room that provides easy suite potential. The septic was serviced and pumped in 2025, adding peace of mind. Located just steps to the beach, the property also benefits from future walkway access toward Courtenay, enhancing long-term appeal.

The bonus opportunity is 3918 Ronald Ave (Lot 23) — a fully self-contained cabin that was gutted to the studs in 2023, providing a clean slate for renovation. Major updates include a new hot water tank (2023), roof (2015), its own septic system, and 100-amp service on a separate meter, already wired for generator use.

Each lot is approximately 0.172 acres, with separate PIDs and titles, and BC Assessment confirms separation can proceed. This creates rare flexibility for future resale, redevelopment, rental income, or multi-generational living.

To put the value into perspective, a renovated cabin could be worth a minimum of $550,000, while a 2,100+ sq ft ocean-view home can easily exceed $1,000,000. The combined potential makes this an exceptional opportunity in today’s market.

Whether you’re an investor, developer, or buyer seeking long-term upside with ocean views, 3916 & 3918 Ronald Ave is a standout offering with options that are increasingly hard to find.

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.
