Nanoose Bay - Fairwinds

NANOOSE BAY - Fairwinds - Vancouver Island's most spectacular oceanfront lifestyle community
Fairwinds really gets it. Here is a community that not only appreciates its abundance of natural gifts; they actually take measures to ensure that those gifts continue to thrive. What you have here is the finest example of man and nature not only co-existing but rather being mutually beneficial to each other. Mama Nature would surely approve.
By design, the Fairwinds Developers set out to create a community that is all about living amongst the beauty that surrounds them. They recognized early in the plan that protecting what would attract people to the area in the first place was paramount. Constructing neighbourhoods that would encourage natural landscaping and working within the natural terrain are trademarks of each component. Promoting green technology and even partnering with the Team Water Smart program are just a few of the ways this community makes protecting their environment a priority.
So aside from protecting it, what do you do with 1,350 acres of some of the most pristine and bio-diversified land on Vancouver Island? You hike it. You bike it. You kayak around it. You enjoy every aspect of it and then, you thank your lucky stars that you live on it. From a world-class golf course to a full service marina, the backdrop of mountains, scenic ocean views and towering majestic trees are only matched by the huge array of housing options.
Bonnington Heights has several 1/3 of an acre building lots still available. Beautiful panoramic views of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountain range integrate first-class luxury living with the natural beauty and tranquility of the area.
Exclusive Rockcliffe Park is currently under construction and will offer quality West Coast designed patio homes for those who prefer an active lifestyle in a natural park-like setting.
In the Lakes District, the vision is to create a very special residential community that is synchronized with the area's dramatic landscape. This consists of two lakes and a host of significant environmental features.
The vision for Shcooner Cove Village is a new seaside village which includes public acess to the waterfront and a vibrant mix of community-oriented retail shops, services and food and beverage establishmenst. Purchasers looking to be emerged in a marine lifestyle will want to check out the plans for the conceptural from the second Public Open House of Schooner Cove Village and future residential sites, available for viewing on the website at www.fairwinds.ca/futuredevelopment.
Residents of Fairwinds are not the only folks to benefit from the Fairwinds lifestyle. Visitors will delight in the myriad of year round activity with over 20 kilometres of hiking trails, kayak rentals and a huge calendar of events. "We're offering plenty of services and events this spring and summer for visitors and locals alike." Marian Slayter, Development Sales and Marketing Manager says. "Our Mariner's Fair was a huge success last year so we're doing that again as well as the Show and Shine, T.G.I.F. Summer B.B.Q.'s and plenty of live entertainment right on the point at Schooner Cove." New this year is the Activities Desk where boaters staying over-night in the marina can get a free shuttle to the golf course. "We're a boater's paradise. You don't even have to pack your clubs because your overnight moorage includes club rental."
