Everything you need to know about the community of Nanoose Bay, B.C

Nanoose Bay is a small town on Vancouver Island's eastern shore, between Parksville and Nanaimo. It was named after a Nanaimo First Nations band. The Nanoose Harbor peninsula, an approximately six km deep water bay, embodies the mythology of "pushing forward." 

The community

Nanoose Bay is a 5,000-person rural village. This place now has a world-class golf course (Fairwinds Golf and Country Club). The famous Schooner Cove Marina and Yacht Club is also a top feature of this community.

Nanoose Bay has a tiny population. So, if you want to purchase a house in a non-crowded city, this is the place to be. Intriguingly, Nanoose's coastal region offers a relaxing rural ambiance.

Real estate

Beautiful  houses on rocky hills bordering a golf course, with expansive ocean and island vistas in all directions, make up the Fairwinds neighborhood. The Winchelsea Islands are seen close offshore, in stark contrast to the enormous expanse behind them: a large sea with mountain slopes.

Nanoose is a peaceful neighborhood. And the houses are designed to interact with the natural curves of the rocks underneath them to enhance seclusion and vistas. Nanoose has among the lowest rainfall rates in British Columbia, resulting in drought-tolerant plant species such as cacti and succulents, some of which are endemic to the region.

Fairwinds' developer is still working to enhance the region, as shown by the current building at Schooner Cove, where the Fairwinds Landing and Westerly condo projects breathe new life into the harbor. Also proposed for the upper edge of the Fairwinds region is the Timber Ridge project, which will have a few dozen townhouses with ocean views.
