The most "untouched" Gulf Islands are those which aren't directly accessible from mainland BC. Access to "Gabe" is via vehicle ferry from downtown Nanaimo; the crossing takes about 25 minutes and the boat crosses every 1.25 hours or so.
Gabriola Island is a huge space with only about 4000 residents, though this number increases during the tourist season. There are some amazing oceanside parks and a great community vibe. There is also a LOT of land here, and a long history of working as a community.
Gabriola Island is about the size of Manhattan but with 0.3% of the population. It's warmer and dryer and has more gardening days per year than Vancouver does. It has 77 more frost-free days per year than Toronto! As you can imagine, this means GARDENS and farmers markets and tours of galleries and artisans' studios. There's also golf, and boating galore, and pubs near the water.
Generally speaking, you can't build multiple dwelling spaces on a single lot that is less than 2.0 hectares (4.94 acres). Similarly, 2 hectares is usually the smallest that a new lot (created by subdivision) may be. There are many residential lots on the island which are less than one acre, but those were likely created through density transfers and are grandfathered.
