Vacant Land and Lots for Sale in PEI: A Comprehensive Guide
Nestled in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island (PEI) is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, coastal beauty, and fertile soils. For those looking into the real estate market, especially in the category “Lands and Lots for Sale in PEI”, there’s an array of options available. However, understanding the types of land and lots for sale in PEI and the regulations surrounding their purchase is essential.
PEI vacant land and lots for sale are divided into several categories. These include:
Bare Acreage
This refers to the vast stretches of land which can be treed, partially treed, or completely cleared. Typically found in outlying regions, these don’t have any services.
Waterfront Lands or Lots
Encompassing a wide spectrum, these can range from large tracts without any services to developed plots in subdivisions like Granville on the Water or Sunset Dunes.
City Subdivisions
Think of places like Starlite Estates, where lots are fully serviced, with paved roads, curbs, and sometimes even sidewalks.
Standalone Lots
These are scattered in or around urban regions. Their closeness to cities makes them less expensive to service than bare acreage. These can be small acreages with or without services.
Cottage Lot Subdivisions
Primarily rural, these lots are designed for up to three seasons of habitation. They don’t usually have paved roads, and the winter season sees them not cleared.
Beyond these categories, it’s also important to determine the land’s purpose – residential, recreational, or agricultural?
Regulations with PEI Land Ownership
PEI has a distinct set of rules under the Island Regulatory & Appeals Commission (IRAC) dictating how much land or shorefront an entity can own.
In the infancy of PEI’s history, the province was divided into sixty-seven 20,000-acre lots. Interestingly, these Lands and lots were given to a select group of absentee proprietors before any real settlement occurred. Over the centuries, the land gradually returned to local hands as it was bought from these non-local landlords.
Fast forward to the 1960s, when the spectre of absentee ownership of PEI lands and lots once again loomed large. Non-residents, sensing the potential of PEI real estate, started investing heavily, leading to significant portions of coastal areas slipping out of local control. This was addressed in 1972 with amendments to the Real Property Act, which put restrictions on Lands and lots for sale in PEI from being purchased by non-residents.
However, it was an application in 1981 by a non-resident corporation to buy 6,000 acres that truly shook the public conscience. There were fears of one entity dominating PEI’s agricultural industry. The result? The introduction of the Lands Protection Act in 1982.
