If you’ve been searching for modern homes for sale in Roberts Creek, you’ve probably noticed they’re few and far between.

Located just minutes apart, 1111 Emery Road and 3477 Spruce Road offer two distinct opportunities to own a modern home in one of the Sunshine Coast’s most desirable communities. While each home has its own personality, both were designed with quality craftsmanship, abundant natural light, energy efficiency, and comfortable everyday living in mind.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury architectural retreat or a beautifully designed family home at a more accessible price point, these properties showcase what modern living in Roberts Creek can look like.
Why Roberts Creek Continues to Be One of the Sunshine Coast’s Most Sought-After Communities
Roberts Creek offers a lifestyle that’s difficult to replicate anywhere else on the Sunshine Coast.
Residents enjoy a strong sense of community, access to incredible outdoor recreation, and the convenience of being centrally located between Gibsons and Sechelt. It’s a place where people walk to the beach, ride bikes through quiet streets, and gather at local cafés, markets, community events, and the famous Roberts Creek Pier.
Both of these homes are within walking distance of Roberts Creek Elementary School, the vibrant community hub, local shops, cafés, parks, and several beautiful beaches. For families, professionals, retirees, or anyone looking to enjoy a slower pace without sacrificing convenience, Roberts Creek offers an exceptional balance of nature and community.
Two Modern Homes. Two Price Points. One Exceptional Lifestyle.
Modern homes built with long-term performance in mind are still uncommon in Roberts Creek. These two properties offer buyers the opportunity to choose between two very different homes while enjoying many of the same core benefits:
- Thoughtfully designed contemporary architecture
- 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom
- Plumbed + wired for a suite
- Geothermal Heating system
- Radiant in-floor heating for year-round comfort
- Wood stove
- Bright, open layout
- Triple pane custom windows that maximize natural light
- Highly energy-efficient construction
- Durable metal roof and roof top patio built with option of adding second story
- Quiet neighbourhoods close to beaches, schools, and trails
Each home offers its own unique interpretation of modern coastal living.
1111 Emery Road — Luxury Architecture Meets Passive House Principles
Priced at $1,999,999, 1111 Emery Road is a one-of-a-kind architectural home offering approximately 2,800 square feet, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms on over half an acre of private land.
Designed around passive house principles, this remarkable home prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and longevity without compromising on style.
From the moment you step inside, oversized south-facing custom windows flood the home with natural light while soaring ceilings create an incredible sense of openness. Carefully selected natural materials—including timber harvested directly from the property—bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home.
One of its standout features is its innovative system similar to the ICF concrete wall system, including a thermal mass wall that helps naturally regulate indoor temperatures by storing heat during cooler months and reducing heat gain during the summer. Combined with triple-pane windows, geothermal heating, and radiant in-floor heating, the result is exceptional comfort and impressive energy performance throughout every season.
Surrounded by mature cedars, fir trees, established gardens, and fruit trees, the property feels completely private while remaining only moments from Roberts Creek’s beaches, trails, cafés, and community amenities.
For buyers seeking an architecturally significant home that blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and timeless design, opportunities like this rarely come to market.
3477 Spruce Road — Scandinavian Design with Everyday Practicality
At $1,199,000, 3477 Spruce Road offers an outstanding opportunity to own a modern, energy-efficient home in Roberts Creek at a different price point.
Inspired by Scandinavian farmhouse design, this beautifully crafted three-bedroom, two-bathroom home balances clean contemporary design with practical everyday functionality.
Large full-height windows and nine-foot ceilings fill the home with natural light, creating bright, welcoming living spaces that feel larger than their footprint. The open floor plan flows effortlessly into a chef-inspired kitchen featuring generous workspace and an oversized walk-in pantry complete with additional counters, a bar fridge, and freezer—perfect for entertaining or busy family life.
Comfort continues throughout the home with polished concrete floors warmed by radiant in-floor heating powered by a natural gas boiler, while wool-carpeted stairs add warmth and texture. Additional features include:
- EV charger
- Sunny-South-west facing property
- On-demand hot water
- Trail to the beach
- Radiant floor heating in 6 zones
- Great neighbourhood
- Durable metal roof
- Hardie-plank siding
- Spa-inspired curbless shower
- Rough-in for a natural gas fireplace
Situated on a sunny south-facing quarter-acre lot on a quiet no-through road, the home is just a short walk from Flume Beach and surrounded by wonderful neighbours, making it an ideal blend of modern convenience and coastal living.
Modern Homes That Are Built to Last
While these homes differ in size and price, they’re united by a shared philosophy: thoughtful design that improves daily living.
Both properties feature radiant heating, durable metal roofing, generous natural light, and carefully planned layouts that feel functional without sacrificing beauty. These are homes built with longevity in mind—designed not simply to look modern today, but to remain comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable for years to come.
As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important to buyers, homes that incorporate durable materials, quality construction, and efficient mechanical systems continue to stand out in the marketplace.
