5 British Columbia Acreages, Ocean Views, and Resort Retreats

By Awais Manzoor

Across British Columbia, a quintet of properties frames ownership as an entry point to everyday recreation and easy escape. From Saddleview Estates’ southern-exposed, treed acreage near Duncan to Fairwinds’ Gracewood enclave in Nanoose Bay, the emphasis is on land, trails, and an oceanside rhythm. In Sooke, unimpeded Pacific views set the tone for retreat or rental potential, while Osoyoos offers a quarter-share suite at Spirit Ridge with Hyatt management. On Mayne Island, a multi-structure compound pairs privacy with sweeping Active Pass vistas.

Along the shoreline in Nanoose Bay, Lot 47 introduces a rare chance to build within Gracewood, Fairwinds’ newest neighbourhood, shaped around a year-round oceanside rhythm. The freehold, flat lot sits on Goodrich Road and is described as ideal for a bungalow-style home, with south-facing backyard exposure designed to bring natural light into the main living areas. Beyond your front door, the community experience is thoughtfully curated: a 1-acre park and walking loop invite daily laps, while nearby forested trails and beaches offer an easy reset. Fairwinds’ lifestyle amenities—lush fairways, the Wellness Club, and the Marina—round out days that can move from tee time to sailing without leaving the area. With just 51 custom homes, plus sidewalks and streetlights, the setting stays intimate and considered.
