This adorable home for sale in B.C. comes with scenic ocean views — for over half the price of a Vancouver home.

Plus, it's located on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, making it ultra peaceful.

The property is located on Smith Island, and it's listed for $549,000. According to WOWA, the benchmark price for a house in Vancouver right now is a steep $1,360,500.

If that seems absolutely wild to you, it might be time to catch a boat and enjoy the island life for good.

The whole property comes with 1.07 acres of land that includes 260 feet of oceanfront and 225 feet of riverfront views. Plus, the home is super cute and has such wholesome cottage vibes.

Here you will be able to walk to the ocean or river from your doorstep — so it's pretty much a dream come true.

The two-storey home has three bedrooms so if are looking for some extra room for some friends or family to crash at your pad, it won't be an issue.

It would definitely mean escaping the city life because the home is actually off-grid, and completely surrounded by tons of lush green forest.

The home even comes with a wood-burning hot tub so no matter how bad the weather gets, you can always keep warm and cozy while enjoying some Pacific Ocean views.

The views don't stop when leaving the hot tub either. The home has huge windows to let in the natural sunlight and you can look at the ocean all day long.
