Description

The Olive Farm - 73.67 Acres For Sale - Salt Spring Island, BC Selling Online August 12, 2026 at 9:00am PDT The Price listed is the Starting Bid for Parcel 1. See Website for Details & Starting Bids. Located on British Columbia’s world-renowned Salt Spring Island, the largest and most accessible gulf island in the Pacific Northwest, ‘The Olive Farm’ stands as a truly remarkable and rare agricultural property with a unique description - a commercial olive farm in Canada. In a country where olive production is otherwise unheard of, ‘The Olive Farm’ is nestled within the unique microclimate of the Gulf Islands, and the farm benefits from mild coastal winters, warm summers, and the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean. This extraordinary setting combines innovation, vision, and West Coast beauty, creating a destination that captures the imagination of visitors and agriculture lovers alike. As both a working farm and a distinctive attraction in the Pacific Northwest, ‘The Olive Farm’ represents a rare opportunity to experience, and be part of, a truly one-of-a-kind agricultural story in Canada. Many of the most renowned olive regions in the world are found throughout the Mediterranean, where olives have been cultivated for thousands of years. ‘The Olive Farm’ began as a dream to harvest the first-ever 100% Canadian grown extra virgin olive oil, and this dream came to fruition with the first harvest achieved in 2016. After significant research to create a foundation of excellence, the trees are Italian varieties chosen primarily for cold hardiness and procured from a nursery in California. The first harvest, as well as succeeding ones, were an incredible success resulting in a product with exceptionally high levels of polyphenols and low acidity that sold out within minutes to award winning restaurants across the country and the general public alike. An executive chef from Toronto was quoted as saying in the National Post that the results were ‘...probably the most unique Olive Oil I have ever tasted. Incredible depth with ocean like seaweed notes and a strong peppery finish’, while The Olive Oil Critic iterated that ‘…’it’s a stunning example of what the island tastes like, the terroir poured into a bottle. You can taste the hard work, dedication and all the love that goes into every drop of oil.’ If Salt Spring Island were recognized for a specific gustatory sensation, this farm would be the definition. The long warm summers of the Fulford Valley, in combination with mild winters, contribute to the lush, low-lying farmland that is responsible for the perfect growing conditions year-round. The coastal temperate rainforests offer critical biodiversity, and unique, protected ecosystems. ‘The Olive Farm’ is fortunate to be included in these exclusive ranks and features a hiking trail that will make you feel like you stepped back in time into the Mesozoic era. The scenic beauty of the landscape as it transitions into the dramatic rock face of Mt. Maxwell, standing as a backdrop to the farm, adds to the ambiance of this incredible estate.
 Parcel 1 consists of 38 acres and includes approximately 750 olive trees spread across 3 acres; as the trees continue to mature, production capacity from each tree continues to increase as well. With irrigation in place in the olive grove, there are expansive opportunities to continue to update and grow the existing operation; the only limitation is one’s imagination. Mostly in hay, the Parcel also boasts stunning waterfalls in Fulford Creek, which runs through the eastern side of the land. Both Parcels are recognizable for their clean water, lush green foliage, and expansive overhead canopies. Fulford Creek, which dissects both Parcels, even features spawning salmon. Parcel 1 also includes the modern shop featuring the High quality, commercial grade, Italian Pieralisi Olive Mill and all supporting equipment, along with a greenhouse, an older home, and other buildings. The high bidder will have the option to purchase the olive mill and press equipment, as well as the farm equipment. Please see the attached Option To Purchase documents for more information. The southernmost of the two offerings, Parcel 2 comprises 36 acres and is an open slate for the next fortunate owner. The incredible home, reminiscent of a Tuscan Villa, exudes quality and character and includes two bedrooms, two baths and a large, open concept dining and living area with a wood stove and a breathtaking view overlooking the valley. The abode features a Tuscan inspired courtyard with an attached guest suite, as well as a barn. Parcel 2 is turnkey for any family looking for a comfortable and capacious property to call home on Salt Spring Island. With a combined total of 74 acres being offered for sale as two separate Parcels, ‘The Olive Farm’ is situated in the heart of Salt Spring Island’s agricultural region and farm- to-table movement. With neighboring farms producing everything from wine to kombucha to beer to cheese, this rural paradise is also famous for its vibrant arts scene. World renowned as an exciting arts hub in British Columbia, tourists visit from around the globe to explore the world of musicians, painters, potters, sculptors, and performers, not to mention the authentic outdoor market. Accessing the farm couldn’t be easier with The Fulford Harbour ferry terminal located just minutes away. Beyond Fulford, there are also two other Ferry terminals allowing access to Vancouver, Tswassen, Swartz Bay, and even Crofton on Vancouver Island. Whether taking in the breathtaking scenery of some of the most beautiful coastline in the world whilst relaxing on the ferry or hopping on a float plane for a bird’s eye view, travelling to the farm is as straightforward as it is awe-inspiring. Olive farming thrives in some of the most beautiful regions in the world, where warm sunshine, coastal breezes, and well-drained soils create ideal growing conditions, and the early farms, orchards, and small industries that shaped the island still defines much
of the landscape today. With vision and fortitude, what began as a dream became a reality in one of the most distinctive and sought-after artistic regions on Canada’s picturesque West Coast. Beyond olive trees, the farm has also successfully grown cherries, blueberries, garlic, wheat and even Manuka bushes, proving the fruitful quality of the soil. ‘The Olive Farm’ is more than land, it is a legacy that can be passed down through generations. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an established Olive Farm on Canadian soil. Interested buyers may bid with confidence on sale day knowing that CLHbid.com’s Universal Close means bidding on both Parcels will remain live until the very end. Buyers will have the flexibility to assemble the land in whatever way best compliments their operational goals and aspirational dreams. ‘The Olive Farm’ is being offered for sale via online escalating tender by CLHbid.com.
