The first phase of the Estates at Cable Bay Golf Resort & Spa features 17 five acre lots located on a bluff overlooking Dodd Narrows. The Nanaimo real estate development will encompass a championship golf course, wellness spa, boutique hotel and lifestyle amenities. If location is indeed the most important factorwhen buyin and selling real estate, then Nanaimo’s proposed Cable Bay Golf Resort & Spa development real estate offers a rare opportunity to live in one of the most stunning places imaginable. This is an article published in the West Coast Design magazine earlier this year. Located south of Nanaimo, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, the 520 acre Cable Bay property is situated on the bluff overlooking the beautiful Dodd Narrows, known to mariners coast-wide as the gateway to B.C.’s scenic Gulf Island. Superb sunrise views and the fact that the Cable Bay Nanaimo resort will include plenty of green space and an 18 hole signature champtionship golf course set within a dramatic, forested landscape with stunning ocean views make this location all the more attractive.

The next steps for Cable Bay Nanaimo Real Estate Release

The first phase of the development – The Estates at Cable Bay Resort – features 17 waterfront acreages – 12 of which are five-acre waterfront lots and five are five-acre ocean view lots – hugging the coastline with 3,200 feet of waterfront along the shores of Nanaimo. Roger McKinnon of McKinnon And Associates is the Marketing Director for the Cable Bay estate waterfront lots release. McKinnon says that the vision for Cable Bay Golf Resort & Spa is a green, fully integrated residential/destination community highlighted by a signature golf course, wellness spa, boutique hotel and various lifestyle amenities unrivalled by any other Nanaimo real estate development. The Estates at Cable Bay in Nanaimo is only minutes away from downtown, business core, shops, restaurants and marinas. Two passenger/car ferries and an airport connect this mid-island city with the B.C. mainland. Gary Browning, one of Canada’s leading golf architects, has designed the golf course to flow with the natural terrain and to incorporate ocean, forest and island views. To protect wildlife he plans to use native plants that attract ertain species to the Estates at Cable Bay Golf Course, and he will include cover where animals, such as deer, can feel safe and protected. Organic-based products, endorsed by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, will be sued on the golf course at Cable Bay Nanaimo Resort development.

“Waterfront properties, especially five acre parcels, are a scarce commodity on Vancouver Island,” says Roger McKinnon. The Isalnd is fast becoming a retirement destination of choice for baby booms. Gary Browning talks about the Cable Bay Golf Course in Nanaimo: Our goal was to create an exciting resort golf course, unlike any other on the Island, that capitalizes on the site’s inherent natural character, open ocean views and unique landscape quality,” says Browning.

McKinnon, who has 30 years of experience in the real estate and BC resort development industries says The Estate at Cable Bay presents an opportunity to own unmatched waterfront property in an exceptional resort setting, and interest from potential home buyers is high.

Put is all together in a palce whre all your year-round destination and recreation is just outside your door, and it’s hard not to look forward to a home where people have long chimed “the Westside is the best side.” A great editorial article by D. Murry for the BC Resorts Property magazine. On the quieter shore of Okanagan Lake, residents wake up to the sunny side of the Okanagan Valley amid colourful fruit orchards and award winning wineries – away from the crowds. The recreational paradise calle dteh Okanagan real estate community has always been a great place to enjoy all year round recreation that includes skiing and golfing in addition to the multitude of water sports for all ages and lifestyles.

While these fine amenities in the major centres of Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon real estate have become renowned over the decades, although some people continue to prefer the serene beauty that remains less crowded on the opposite shore. From colourful Peachland with 5,000 residents to the quaint village like Fintry, the west shore sems a world away from the 110,000 plus within the nearby city of Kelowna real estate. “it is just a totally different time zone almost,”s ays Robert M., sales director for Westbank real estate Copper Sky and Platinum Project Marketing. Beachwear seems natural for the couple thousand residents sporadically dotted along the northwest corner of Okanagan Lake in WEstbank real estate in small communities like Traders Cove, Wilson Landing, and Fintry. In between, recreational development Okanagan real estate properties like LaCasa and Lake Okanagan resort property may soon be joined by new holiday homes at TimberRidge and Orchard Beach resorts.

More about the Westbank Real Estate Westside Neighbourhood

We’ve got everything you need to do when you want to relax. You can rent a boat or enjoy lunch at one of the wineries.” For those who like their R&R with G&G (golf and grapes), the Westside real estate hills are home to two 19 hole courses and five wineries.

Westbank Property is Growing Up

Now one year old, the new municipality of Westside is walking proudly forward, and celebrating its growth in so many new forms – a new bridge, many new stores, new leaders emerging and new neighbourhoods opening up. In May, the new five lane bridge opened by its namesake – Wliliam Bennett, former BC premier. Local residnts quickly rejoiced that traffic would flow much quicker to and from Kelowna than the original 50 year old three land floating bridge. This year, many people are finding fewer reasons to cross that new bridge, due to WEstbank real estate’s burgeoning shopping district that is quickly expanding local shopping choices – from family shops to a half dozen massive box stores – including a Walmart (said to be the largest in Canada) that is scheduled to pen in mid-September. The newest shopping collection now includes Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Staples, the Canadian Superstore and London Druges. No longer just a sleepy town for Kelowna, the Westside outpaced its giant neighbour with an 11.5 percent boom from 2001 to 2006. “The growth is just exploding on the Westside – not just housing, but business also,” said Leah T, manager of Westbank Chamber of Commerce and a resident for 25 years.

The regional district of Powell River with a population of 19,599 stretches along the lengthy shoreline from Saltery Bay to Lund. It is renowned for scuba diving with over 100 dive sites int eh immediate vicinity, also considered as one of the best salt and freshwater fishing destinations in Canada. Jacques Coustea claimed Powell River’s emerald waters were “second only to the Red Sea,” and a dive in these parts quickly reveals why. The Powell River may be the second shortest river in the world at just 500 metres long, but it connects with a string of Lakes: Powell, Goat and Windsor, which characterizes much of the inland region. Laying claim to one the mildest climates in the country, year-round temperatures averages 10 degrees and summer varies from 18 to 30 degrees. The safety and security of a small town such as Powell River with the infrastructure of a major city make it an ideal location to work, live or vacation.
