Map & Owner's Profile
Executive Lake Front 3BR/2BA Home 15 Minutes from Victoria
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Victoria
We purchased this house ,and the one next door in 2001. At the time we owned a vacation home on the gulf islands, and we wanted to live full time on a lake. When these homes came up for sale we knew that we had found our dream location to live. We renovated both homes and have lived here ever since. Langford lake is a perfect place to live, as its only minutes from the city, but seems like your out in the country when your here. The fact that we can fish, swim and boat from our yard doesnt hurt either!
The Unique Benefits at this House
When you stay here you are close to everything , but in a great getaway that lets you relax and enjoy the lake and nature.The walking trail just down the street, is a great feature that alows you to walk around the lake. We constantly have bald eagles, otters , mink , ducks , geese , swans and more around our yard. Langford lake has some of the best bass and trout fishing on the south island. One thing we have always loved here is the fact that there are no gas motors allowed on the lake, this makes it much more enjoyable as your not being buzzed by jet skis and big boats. From this house you have everything from fine dining, a casino,a provincial park and major golf courses all within 5-15 minutes away.No matter what your interests you'll find its not far from here.
