Community Profile: Sechelt Real Estate On The Rise Again

In interesting and informative article written for the Homes and Resort Homebase Media magazine by Tracey R. Sechelt is a Land Between Two Waters. Taking its name from one of the Coast Salish Indian bands, “Sechelt” means land between two waters. Suitably labeled given that this Sechelt real estate community sits on a sand bar, on one side of Sechelt is the Strait of Georgia and on the other side, Porpoise Bay. The Sechelt real estate area climate is characterized by warm dry summers with the mercury on the Sunshine Coast hitting highs of 30 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit) and experiencing an annual rainfall of approximately 100 centimetres (40 inches). Undeniably, the natural Sunshine Coast Sechelt seaside beach creates an ideal summer desintation for families where camping, water activites and golfing top the recreation must do list. The wide sandy beach at Porpoise Bay Sechelt real estate at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park, northeast of Sechelt real estate on the east side of the Sechelt Inlet, makes for ideal swimming, boating and kayaking. Sechelt Inlets Marine Park provides safe and anjoyable access to Sechlt, Narrows and Samon Inlets. The beautiful Inlets provide a memorable paddling experience, and allow quiet exploration of the rugged landscape that is typical of the northern Strait of Georgia – where waterfalls cascade down steep, rugged slopes among the surrounding forested hills. Sandy beaches at the Sechelt real estate district offer safe pullouts for campaing, swimming, fishing or scuba diving and protected anchorages can be found at Kunechin Point and Tzoonie Narrows. Kayakers and boaters will find safe shelter in this gateway to the popular sailing destinations of Jervis Inlet and Princess Louisa Inlet; morrage for visiting boats is available at the government wharf in Porpoise Bay in the Sunshine Coast watefront real estate district. The HMCS Chaudiere, a WWII submarine tracker, was sunk as an artificial reef in 1992 at the mouth of the Salmon Inlet and is considered to be one fo the top diving spots ont eh Pacific Coast. Several less known wrecks are also in this Sunshine Coast Sechelt property community. Guided kayak, dive, sports fishing or boat charters and float plan tours are widely available. The Sechelt Inlets Marine Park is 20 km north of Sechelt and is only accessible by boat or floatplane. Public access is from Porpoise Bay Provincial Park or from Trillicum Bay Marina, one km south of the community of Tuwanek on the Sunshine Coast of BC recreational real estate property. Don’t loose your concentration ont eh tee box at the Sechelt Golf and Country Club from the idyllic forest setting and views of Porpoise Bay sunshine Coast real estate – these scenic offerings abound throughout your round. Generous fairways and large gently sloping greens putt exceptionally true, and provide a memorable outing on the links. Club house and restaurant for tournaments and banquiets are open year round and BCPGA teaching professionals are on staff at the Sechelt Golf and Country Club.

More about the Sunshine Coast Sechelt Real Estate Resort Community

If it weren’t for the small neck of land less than a km wide, a large portion of the peninsula north of Sechelt real estate district would be an isle, cut off from the mainland of Sunshine Coast. This land bridge backs ocean water, which flows from the northwestern entrance to the inlet near Egmont, into three inlets in the Sunshine Coast BC resort real estate property market. Sechelt Inlet (the largest), and the Salmon and Narrows inlets are the three, which branch east from Sechelt Inlet. The Sechelt Inlet lays claim to fame as being named on of the top 100 dives worldwide, and one of the world’s top 20 recreational real estate dives by Rodale’s Scuba Diving magazine. It features an artificial reef formed by the scuttled HMCS Chaudiere, a former Canadian Navy Ship off Kunechin point along the BC resort Sunshine Coast real estate community. Sechelt is located on Highway 101 on the Sunshine Coast of BC resort real estate which is accessible from the rest of the Lower Mainland only by boat or aircraft. Travellers aboard BC Ferries leave Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver for the 15.5 km journey to Langdale ont eh Sechelt Peninsula. Highway 101 links Langdale with Sechelt, 15 km north. A magnificent sweep of south facing waterfront real estate Sechelt Sunshine Coast recreational property defines downtown, offering a beautifully cobbled beach leading to exquisite little Snicket Park which combines waves polished granite ramparts with driftwood and many coloured pebbles. With Sechelt real estate’s central location on the southern peininsula it makes a natural hub for business, culture and tourism. The thriving isthmus village is poised in an intriguing location and a base of the Sechelt First Nation, the “shishalh,” the original First Nations people of the region. The Sunshine Coast Sechelt property market community is sustained by self government, a community lifestyle, and wisdom of the elders whose influence ont eh sunshine Coast is pervasive. AS you enter Sechelt real estate, you are greeted by the impressive and imposing culturalcentre, the House of Hewhiwus (which translates to House of Chiefs). It is home to the Sunshine Coast Sechelt band government offices along with a useum, art centre, gift shop and the Raven’s Cry theatre. North of Roberts Cree, this is the cultural centre of the Sunshine Coast BC waterfront real estate neighbourhod, which has a strong arts community representing a multitude of creative disciplines. Sechelt contributes to the BC Sunshine Coast as one of the most densely artist populated areas in Canada and has inspired a large, creative community of internationally known artists, writers, musicians and artisans. Their creations are displayed in local galleries and crafts stores, as well as in their own pottery, woodworking, and glass blowing studios up and down the Sunshine coast real estate community. The Purple Banner ArtStudio Route, run by the Coast Cultural Alliance, proactivively promotes the diversity in the Sechelt real estate region’s arts sector. Encompassing the entire Sunshine Coast, a mpa outlines the route of participating artists from Bowen Island up to Powell River and Texada Island. Watch for the colourful rectangular banners outside studios, as you travel through the region. The historic Rockwood Lodge, a Union Steamship resort, was built as a boarding us back in 1935, a time when all visitors to the Sunshine Coast Sechelt BC waterfront real estate community arrived by boat at a wharf in Trail Bay.

Building on the success of Skye and Soleil, Pointe of View Developments is now unveiling its latest offering in its Coastal Village community in Squamish: Aqua.

Well situated to take advantage of all that Squamish has to offer, Coastal Village is an urban village located at the edge of the estuary. Here, Aqua residents are afforded unparalleled views down the chanel as well as views of the Tantalus mountains to the west and the Chief to the east. Coastal Village Aqua is als protected from further development as it borders nature on three of its four sides.

Like Skye and Soleil at Coastal Village, Aqua offers buyers a choice of townhomes or apartment condominiums, the later housed in solid concrete-and-steel structure inspired by its breathtaking West Coast surroundings.

The increasing popularity of Squamish coupled with a great product has proved to be a winning combination for Pointe of View. Skye is now sold out and Soliel is nearing 70% sold, meaning that Aqua at Coastal Village is virtually the last opportunity to purchase a home here. “Skye and Soleil have been hugely popular with buyers and investors seeking value, location, and solid durable construction,” says Pointe of View’s Allan De Genova, adding the other main selling feature of this community is the incomparable location. “It’s a great combination of natural surroundings and urban convenience,” he says. “The shops and services in downtown Squamish are mere minutes away, as are countless recreational pursuits, be it climbing the Chief, hiking one of the many trail systems, or windsurfing where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound.”

The homes in Coastal Village’s Aqua feature open floor plans and oversized windows that create flexible rooms full of natural light. Designer details include richly stained custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, cool, natural colour schemes, soaker tubs and much, much more. Aqua residents also have access to a host of onsite amenities in the main building, including a fully equipped fitness facility with lap pool and sauna, meeting rooms and a large outdoor terrace ideal for entertaining.

Constructed following LEED (Leadership of Energy and Environmental Design) principles for green building design, Coastal Village Aqua homes have futuristic smart-home wiring and environmentally sensitive lighting and plumbing. Pointe of View has also gone to great lengths toensure the security and safet of residents throughout such elements as monitored entry points, well-lit walkways, and a community design that overall encourages interaction and awareness.

Two-bedroom-and-den apartments at Aqua Coastal Village, which start at 1,071 square feet, are priced from $329,000. The two-bedroom townhomes are priced from $442,000 and start at 1,639 square feet. The townhomes also come in three-bedroom and three-plus loft configurations and also include two parking spaces.

Published in the Westcoast Homes & Design May 2007 edition. Soleil condominium homes and townhouses | The second phase of Pointe of View Developments’ Coastal Village in Squamish includes condos and townhomes with spectacular views, natural surroundings and convenience.

Take a drive up the Sea to Sky Highway and it isn’t just the new highway that will catch your attention. The area is undergoing dramatic transformation, with new pre-construction Squamish real estate developments dotting the shoreline and mountainside from Horseshoe Bay onward.

At the centre of this presales real estate development activity in Squamish BC, which in the past 18 months or so has experienced phenomenal growth, driven by the pre-Olympic highway improvements, the entrance of the Quest University and Capilano College campuses and a reputation as the “outdoor recreational capital of Canada.”

The Soleil and Skye Condos at Coastal Village
Well situated to take advantage of all that Squamish has to offer is pre-sales Pointe of View Developments’ Coastal Village, an urban village concept located at the edge of the estuary. Coastal Village Squamish offers residents unparalleled views down the channel as well as views of the Tantalus Mountains to the west and The Chief to the east.

“Coastal Village Squamish’s location is the perfect blend of natural surroundings and convenience,” says Pointe of View’s Allan De Genova. “Within minutes you can walk the shops and services in downtown Squamish. In the same amount of time, you can also be climbing the Chief, hiking one of the many trail systems, or windsurfing where the Squamish River meets Howe Sound.”

Last year, Pointe of View unveiled the first phase of Coastal Village Skye apartment condo homes, to rave reviews. A collection of 226 homes, including 162 steel and concrete Skye apartments in sQuamish and 64 townhomes at Coastal Village Skye Squamish, it clearly struck the right chord with home buyers and investors seeking value, location and solid construction.

This year, Pointe of View launched Soleil at Coastal Village – the second phase in Squamish’s Coastal Village master plan. Like Skye in the first phase, Soleil at Coastal Village in SQuamish offers homebuyers a choice of condominiums and townhomes.
