Oceanwood in Cordova Bay
Posted By Duncan Boan • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Location: Saanich
These spacious executive homes offer fine west coast living, luxury, location, and low environmental impact.
The location - at the north east corner of the intersection of Cordova Bay Road and Blenkensop Road, in Saanich. Wrapped around the perimeter of the development is a ‘no-build’ corridor that will remain in its original, natural state. This corridor will also provide a natural buffer from the bordering roadways.
Each lot in this development of 17 homes is large, between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet. The natural terrain and forest has been disturbed as little as possible, with the result that each home blends naturally into the forest, with private sight lines.
Landscaping is low maintenance, using plants indigenous to the locale to ensure the character of the development site remains intact. Building exteriors of stone, stained cedar and heavy dash stucco complement the surroundings.
Construction aims to exceed ‘Built Green’ gold standards for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Energy features include a high efficiency heat pump for heating and air conditioning, ‘on demand’ hot water, and low-E glass.
Each home will be unique, and buyers will have lots of decor and additional luxury options to choose from. Construction is underway, and the first show home is open for viewing. If you are in the market for a home of distinction, you really need to view the display home - neither words nor photos do the home, or the site, justice.
Prices for these luxury homes begin at $1,000,000.
