Saanich may not be the most-known municipality on Vancouver Island, but its physical attributes are second to none, as it borders six other municipalities -- including Victoria, the capital of British Columbia -- and blends both the rural and urban beauties of Vancouver Island.
With a population of over 110,000, Saanich also has one of the largest populations on Vancouver Island. And now, a custom home that just hit the market would be perfect for anybody looking to lay roots and explore all the Island has to offer.
The property sits at 2911 Mount Baker View Road, in the neighbourhood of Ten Mile Point, just northeast of Victoria and a stone's throw from the waters of the Haro Strait.
Named so because it was about 10 nautical miles from the then-headquarters of the Royal Navy's Pacific Station, Ten Mile Point is not only the most-eastern point of Vancouver Island, but it's also an exclusive pocket where the likes of basketball legend Steve Nash and pop star Nelly Furtado have reportedly owned homes.

Our Favourite Thing
At this point you're probably wondering whether a home that sits on Mount Baker View Road does, in fact, have views of Mount Baker -- and the answer is a resounding yes. What's more, because Ten Mile Point is the eastern-most point of Vancouver Island, and the home is literally steps away from the coastline, the views are completely unobstructed and utterly stunning.
Outside the home you'll find a double garage with workshop and storage space, a professionally-landscaped and fully-fenced garden, and a private terrace with a built-in outdoor fireplace, where you can soak in the sun, fresh air, and ocean breeze.
From top to bottom, this property would serve as a perfect base for those looking to make Vancouver Island “home.”
