物件特色
Encircled by 40 kilometers of ocean shoreline, North Saanich is a sea-lover's dream. Located a mere 25 kilometers from the city core of Victoria, this community also boasts a rich agricultural history and a more slow-paced lifestyle than many of the Greater Victoria municipalities. Residents enjoy a rural locale with quick access to the city core via the Patricia Bay Highway 17, or the more scenic route, West Saanich Road.
Renowned for its wineries, locally grown produce and flowers, this is a beautiful place to call home. North Saanich keeps to its agricultural roots as home to many farms, many of whom supply roadside produce and flower stands. People travel from around the region to visit pumpkin patches in the fall and fields of daffodils in the spring. In nearby Central Saanich, Butchart Gardens is one of the most popular attractions in the region, its stunning historic gardens open to visitors year-round.
Also home to a number of excellent marinas, North Saanich is a gateway to the surrounding ocean, and a haven to the boating enthusiast, and ocean explorers.
North Saanich is also conveniently home to the Victoria International Airport and the BC Ferries’ Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal servicing routes to Nanaimo, the Gulf Islands, and mainland BC.
