Incredible location half a block from Departure Bay Beach! This 3 bedroom 2 bath rancher sits on a huge 10,000 sqft sun-filled lot backing onto a gently flowing creek. The bedrooms are all a generous size and the sunken primary bedroom includes a 3-pc ensuite. The 400sqft south-facing rear deck is a fabulous space for BBQ-ing with family and friends. Enjoy amazing access to recreation with the tennis courts, ball fields and water park at Departure Bay Centennial Park behind; green space across the road offers a shady-treed stroll through Woodstream Park or an off-leash play for the dog at Wardropper Park. Pop down the road with your kayak or paddleboard to explore the coastline, or watch the ferries come and go over a coffee at The Drip right around the corner. Departure Bay Elementary School is easy walking distance and the bus stop is only steps away. This property offers great opportunity in a fantastic beach-side community.

Imagine yourself relaxing on a sun-drenched deck overlooking the sparkling waters of Long Lake. The dream is reality with this spectacular 2 bed 2 bath lake view home in Long Lake Heights. The wall of glass doors across the entire main floor brings in the breathtaking view. This West Coast oasis is packed full of charm, from the parquet hardwood floors, to the unique and innovative hide-away partitions that slide out of the walls in the open-flow living /dining areas. The lower floor offers 2 beds, a modern main bath, and large laundry/storage room. Recently upgraded insulation in the floor and attic increase the energy efficiency, as does the wood stove for cozy cooler nights. Extensive work and heart have gone into the exterior of the home with new railings and Spanish porcelain tiles on the deck, cedar pergolas along the driveway, and landscape lighting to highlight the beautifully manicured slope planted with multiple fruit trees, Japanese maples, rhododendron and roses. Paradise.

Nestled steps from the picturesque shores of Lower Lantzville, this beachy coastal retreat offers the essence of West Coast living. The open-concept cabin-style 3 bed 2 bath home was extensively renovated in 2011 from structure to roof to interiors, resulting in a new occupancy permit in 2013. 14-foot vaulted ceilings in the living and kitchen/dining areas create a sense of space and airiness while windows filling the east wall bring in natural light and offer views of the ocean and eagles resting in the trees. Wake to the sounds of ocean waves in the primary bedroom which includes a full ensuite with soaker tub. The upstairs loft is a comfortable space for office, guests or play room. The flat half-acre corner lot allows plenty of land for myriad uses and incredibly rich soil for plentiful gardens, and the sunny rear deck is perfect for BBQ's with family and friends. This incredible location offers the atmosphere of coastal village living while only minutes to Nanaimo's amenities.
