Location
The place where it’s good to be.
The estate is located on West Saanich Road within the District of North Saanich (population of 11,500 approximately) – Motto: “The place where it’s good to be.” Sitting on the west side of the Saanich Peninsula, on the Saanich Inlet, the property lies within the exclusive Ardmore / Patricia Bay , an area of fine homes! Just 30 minutes south to downtown Victoria, the Capital City of British Columbia, nine minutes to Victoria International airport (YYJ), 15 minutes to Swartz Bay B.C. Ferry Terminal (Vancouver/Tsawwassen and Gulf Islands – BC Ferries), 10 minutes to Washington State Ferry (Sidney to Anacortes), and a short distance to country markets, shopping, the town of Sidney (population about 11,600), recreation center, hospital, golf courses, marina’s, seaplane base and some fine restaurants. Located in the heart of prime boating waters you’ll find yourself a short distance to many unique areas in the Inlet, the Gulf Islands and to anywhere the ocean may take you.
Saanich Inlet: The Saanich Inlet (48°40’N., 123°30’W), also known as Saanich Arm is a body of salt water that lies between the Saanich Peninsula and the Malahat highlands of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Located just northwest of Victoria, the inlet is 24 kilometres (15 miles) long, has a surface area of 65 square kilometres (25 square miles), and its maximum depth is 225 metres (738 feet). It extends from Satellite Channel in the north (separating Salt Spring Island from the Saanich Peninsula) to Squally Reach and Finlayson Arm in the south. The only major tributary feeding the inlet is the Goldstream River. Wind conditions in the inlet are generally light with a preponderance of calms, especially in summer. The inlet is fairly well protected from the northwest-southeast pattern which prevails throughout the Gulf, but occasional southwest winds blow into the Inlet over the Sooke Hills from Juan de Fuca Strait. Tidal streams in Saanich Inlet are fairly weak with a maximum range of 12 feet. The flood is slightly stronger along the west shore with the ebb being slightly stronger off Pat (Patricia) Bay and Deep Cove.
The Inlet offers excellent boating, kayaking, swimming, water skiing, diving, fishing, shrimping/prawning, mollusks and a great variety of marine, bird and wild life – Exceptional!
