privacy-forward luxury built around resort-style indoor–outdoor living. Pools, spas, and entertaining-ready terraces anchor daily life, whether paired with sweeping lake views in West Kelowna or a reimagined oceanfront setting in Lions Bay.

Vancouver Island’s West Coast allure is on full display across this quintet, where water, land, and long-range views shape daily life. From Salish Sea vistas and a private sandy beach to a south-facing Lake Cowichan dock made for unhurried boating, each residence places outdoor experience at the forefront. Even inland, a sunny five-acre farm parcel with a barn and creek underscores the region’s working-land appeal. Rounding out the mix, an eight-suite heritage property anchors the collection in walkable Rockland, pairing character with modern upgrades.

outdoor living as the main event. From 100 feet of pristine lakefront and a carriage house suited to guests or rental, to Rockland’s mature-tree setting, Ten Mile Point’s Benson Park backdrop, and a four-acre Deep Cove retreat, each residence is defined by privacy, curated grounds, and serene outlooks. Elevated interiors—sometimes anchored by chef-caliber kitchens and timeless stonework—support a lifestyle built around gathering and escape.

British Columbia’s most compelling properties often trade in vantage points and access to nature as much as square footage. This quintet spans urban ease in Port Moody, prestige coastal living in Oak Bay, and the wide-open possibilities of Sooke acreage, each defined by views or land that feels increasingly scarce. Farther afield, Canim Lake pairs shoreline immersion with resort-scale flexibility, while Golden delivers a design-forward home anchored by a rare triple lot. Together, they read as statement holdings shaped by landscape.

Across British Columbia, this quintet of homes makes the landscape the main event, from Mt. Baker in Mission to Howe Sound in Lions Bay, with coastal mountains and Parksville’s beach in between. Privacy reads as a shared luxury, whether through acreage, protected forest, or a waterfront lot with beach access. Design leans custom and considered, including a contemporary restoration with Dutch farmhouse influences and a West Coast home framed by lush gardens. Several addresses also suggest flexible, multi-use living through suite or second-home potential.

life oriented to the shoreline. From unobstructed Howe Sound panoramas in Lions Bay to true walk-on frontage on a protected Cowichan Lake bay, each setting invites days spent on the water and evenings on decks, patios, and rooftop terraces. A Pender Island oceanfront estate on 4.42 acres and a tucked-away North Saanich acre with private mooring buoy deepen the retreat sensibility, while Victoria’s Inner Harbour townhome adds an urbane counterpoint with remarkable walkability.

enduring architecture refined for contemporary living. From South Oak Bay addresses steps to “the Avenue,” Willows Beach, and Estevan Village cafés, to Lions Bay’s meticulous renovation framed by Howe Sound views, each home pairs character with curated finishes and upgraded systems. Outdoor life is central, whether on a 34-foot patio and fenced yard or along garden paths near Agate Beach. Flexible layouts, suites, and studios support families, guests, and multi-generational stays.

Each property treats indoor–outdoor living as a daily ritual, with rooftop decks, terraces, and resort-caliber entertaining spaces. Renovation and new construction bring crisp finishes and thoughtful layouts, while privacy arrives via gated drives, multi-lot settings, and elevated scale suited to full-time luxury living.

a life oriented to the view. From Okanagan Lake’s sweeping panorama in Lake Country to ocean, treetop, and mountain outlooks in Saanich and Jordan River, each setting makes nature the daily backdrop. Nanoose Bay adds direct waterfront vistas across Northwest Bay and the Strait of Georgia, while Lynn Valley pairs a sunlit large lot with nearby trails and neighbourhood ease. Together, these properties trace a nature-first West Coast rhythm.

Along Long Island’s barrier-island edge and nearby Old Greenwich, this quintet of residences traces a shared devotion to coastal living shaped by water, dunes, and effortless arrival.

Saltaire adds an oversized ocean-side Midway homesite with room to enjoy as-is or reimagine. Old Greenwich rounds out the mix with a beach-close home designed for flexible, guest-friendly living.
