What motivates and drives you and what makes you happy are key elements of how you will spend your life.

Does taking in majestic scenery provide you with a sense of internal peace? Do you capture and live for the moment? More importantly, do you take full advantage of what is around you or do you pass it by because it is too routine and accessible? extravagant Courtenay properties offer this kind of luxury.

• Why You Should Consider Buying a Comox Valley Luxury Home

Luxury homes are located in many parts of Canada and especially in large urban areas. The Comox Valley is not a large urban area but it does offer most things that larger areas offer without the traffic, long commutes, and stress of every day life in cities like Vancouver and Calgary. When you do want to sample the things only found in larger cities, the airport is only a short 10-15 minutes away from the core area of the Valley. A tremendous advantage of buying one of these luxury homes in the Comox Valley in or around Courtenay or Comox is that they can be purchased for much less than their counterparts in the larger cities. A one million dollar purchase here can buy extraordinary elegance whereas this threshold in Vancouver can only buy something that is fairly forgettable.

Canada’s recently falling dollar has ignited interest in this market and made buying even more attractive to offshore buyers. Why not save even more money and get much more in return with a purchase in this part of Vancouver Island, a location rated highly by Conde Nast Magazine. Passion and lifestyle can be channeled into a better quality of life and improved happiness. Local scenery includes areas that are considered pristine, idyllic, and even surreal at times in specific locations. Drop by for a visit and check out local offerings.
