Shawnigan Lake
Shawnigan Lake sits in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, roughly an hour north of Victoria along the Malahat. The village takes its name from the lake it borders — a long, narrow body of water popular for swimming, paddling, and fishing. The surrounding landscape is forested and hilly, with winding roads connecting lakefront properties to homes set back in the trees.
Cobble Hill
Cobble Hill sits in the Cowichan Valley on southern Vancouver Island, between the communities of Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake. The area is defined by rolling countryside, forested hillsides, and rural acreage properties mixed with newer residential subdivisions. Homes here range from modest single-family houses to larger properties on multi-acre lots, appealing to those who want space and a quieter, more laid-back setting while staying connected to the island's amenities.
Ladysmith
Ladysmith sits on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, roughly halfway between Nanaimo and Duncan along the Island Highway. Its waterfront location offers views across the Strait of Georgia, and the town center features heritage buildings along First Avenue, where you'll find local cafés, shops, and restaurants that serve both residents and those passing through.
Duncan
Duncan sits in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, where forested hills meet fertile farmland and the community retains a strong connection to its Indigenous roots and natural surroundings. The city center features a collection of murals and totem poles that reflect the area's Coast Salish heritage, while residential streets branch out into neighborhoods with a mix of mid-century bungalows, contemporary builds, and acreages on the valley floor.
