Along the waterfront in South Oak Bay, this beautifully maintained residence is set on one of the area’s most coveted streets, offering timeless architectural appeal and rich character throughout. Soaring ceilings and graceful archways create a sense of volume, while leaded glass accents, detailed woodwork, and hardwood floors lend warmth and continuity. The main level balances daily comfort with easy entertaining, with gracious living and dining rooms, a spacious kitchen with an eating area, plus a family room and office. From here, seamless access leads to multiple patios and beautifully landscaped gardens—ideal for lingering outdoors. Upstairs, the primary retreat takes in views toward Victoria Golf Club and the ocean, complete with a sitting area, walk-in closet, and ensuite.

Along the water’s edge in Central Saanich, this fully furnished waterfront estate pairs exceptional craftsmanship with timeless elegance and sweeping ocean vistas. Set on a private half-acre with 100 feet of pristine, low-bank shoreline, it offers direct beach access from a professionally landscaped backyard—an everyday invitation to step outside and linger by the water. Inside, an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen arrangement is elevated by soaring 11-foot coffered ceilings and dual nano doors that blur the line between indoors and out. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinetry, elegant stone countertops, top-of-the-line Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a well-appointed butler’s pantry. All four bedrooms enjoy ocean views, each with an ensuite and walk-in closet, while a media room with wet bar and a covered patio set the scene for relaxed evenings and alfresco dining. A three-car garage with showroom-quality epoxy flooring, extra-high ceilings, and an automatic gate adds privacy and ease.

From its mountain setting in British Columbia’s Cariboo region, Mt. Timothy Recreation Resort delivers a true four-season destination with a welcoming, uncrowded rhythm. Winter anchors the experience with 35 ski runs served by a triple chairlift, T-bar, and two magic carpets, alongside a tube park and snowshoe trails designed for all skill levels. At the heart of the resort, a handcrafted log lodge with a licensed restaurant sets a warm gathering point, complemented by a guest services building with rental and pro shop, a heated day-use pavilion, rental cabins, and a mountaintop event pavilion. Located along the historic Gold Rush Trail, the resort also draws snowmobilers and off-road enthusiasts, with summer recreation positioned for growth. With infrastructure upgrades completed and a Master Plan Agreement nearing provincial approval for phased expansion, the foundation is in place for a long horizon of year-round energy.

With the lake as its backdrop, 8000 Benchrow Road pairs an inspirational 180-degree lakeview with 2.73 acres of productive mini orchard—apricot, nectarine, peach, apple, plum, and cherries—bringing a daily rhythm of seasons right to your doorstep. The main home offers four bedrooms and four baths, finished with hardwood and warmed by in-floor heating. After a day outdoors, a hot tub provides an easy place to unwind. Practical comforts are equally considered, from the two-car heated garage to a heated driveway. For additional space and flexibility, a detached four-bay heated garage includes its own bath, while a carriage home adds a huge deck and an extra garage. Set on a quiet thru road, the property remains mere minutes from the Yacht Club, balancing privacy with access.

Along the water’s edge on prestigious Ten Mile Point, this exceptional one-acre offering pairs rare privacy with a front-row seat to Haro Strait and the San Juan Islands. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, the pie-shaped lot spans 230 feet of rugged coastline, with a dramatic 70-foot coastal bluff slope and access down to the rocky shoreline below. Mornings here begin with Mount Baker sunrises, while the upper outlook takes in the Phyllis Park forest. For those ready to build, two sets of contemporary development plans by Keith Baker Design are available, along with previously approved variance and building permits that include an accessory building where an existing cabin sits by a cove at the water’s edge. Minutes to downtown Victoria, yet remarkably secluded, the setting invites a life shaped by sea air, sky, and stone.
