Prospect Lake:
Prospect Lake, in the municipality of Saanich, is only 18km (11 miles) northwest of downtown Victoria, yet it feels worlds away from city life. Over a hundred years old, the community respects its rural roots, and cherishes the peace and tranquillity the area affords. Many lake-side properties were once summer cabins for holiday-makers from town, but have been revamped and expanded to accommodate those who fell under the lake’s charm and have made it their home full-time. The lake itself is 178 acres of freshwater; motorboats, waterskiers, canoes and kayaks are regularly seen on warm days, and fishing boats in season. The lake is stocked with cutthroat, rainbow trout and smallmouth bass. Prospect Lake Golf Club, a popular 9-hole course overlooking the lake, is only a minute’s drive down the road, and the newly-opened Roadside Pub and Restaurant is two minutes the other way, on West Saanich Road. Excellent schools at all levels are close by. The area is one of the most-sought after in Victoria; properties rarely come to offer, and for good reason.

4810 Prospect Lake Road  is an excellent investment for the discriminating buyer, whether as a family home, a bed-and-breakfast, home-based spa, or other ideas. The layout of the house can easily accommodate a variety of uses, and the view is second-to-none. The house is designed to impress and entertain, yet it maintains a warm and comfortable  atmosphere throughout.
