Welcome home to The Foothills, your gateway to the backcountry, to an active lifestyle, and to Central Vancouver Island’s premier 1,800+ acre master-planned lifestyle community offering a new standard of inspired living.
Part of the first phase of The Foothills development, offering predominantly bare land strata lots intended for residential use, The Village at The Foothills is now home to some of the area’s most impressive residences. Fully serviced and build-ready, the remaining lots are waiting for you to design and build the home of your dreams.
Varying in size, shape, and topography to fit all lifestyles, life stages, and budgets, these lots are offered with water and sewerage services, as well as electricity and gas to the property line.
Homes built in The Foothills are subject to a modern West Coast Island architectural-style building scheme characterized by distinctive rooflines, oversized eaves, post and beam entryways, and lots of natural light. This scheme encourages sustainable and high-quality builds and promotes the use of natural materials with a muted, calm colour palette of earth tones ensuring cohesion and harmony with the natural environments found in the mountains and on the Island, maintaining the integrity of the community whilst enhancing and protecting the neighbourhood and your investment in your dream home.
Boasting urban conveniences in a rural setting that includes the Copley and Lonetree summits, when fully built out, The Foothills will feature more than 800 residences ideally situated and seamlessly integrated amongst 1,100 acres of protected parkland. Offering the outdoor enthusiast unparalleled access to an abundance of recreational opportunities, those fortunate enough to call The Foothills home and visitors alike will appreciate walkable neighbourhoods, 22 km of trails, 5 rock climbing areas, and 10 public viewpoints from which to enjoy the stunning panoramic West Coast views. The surrounding area also offers pristine lakes, sandy beaches, and marinas located within 20 minutes of The Foothills, while golfers will never tire of the notable collection of premier golf courses found less than a half-hour’s drive away.
Designed to be the heart of The Foothills community, the vibrant Village, when built, will offer a mix of residential and commercial units. Featuring a pedestrian plaza with a collection of small shops and services catering to the daily and lifestyle wants and needs of this active community, there will also be a coffee shop, restaurant, and pub to bring the neighbourhood together.
A phased development, The Foothills offers diverse housing for different needs, budgets, and life stages. As the Village at The Foothills, the first phase comprising bare land strata lots situated closest to the existing neighbourhoods in Lantzville, is nearing completion, the second phase begins. Boasting a limited collection of modern executive townhomes, this second phase will also include a small number of semi-detached creekside homes.
Well-positioned to access both local and regional services, downtown Lantzville and North Nanaimo are an easy 5-minute drive from The Foothills. An abundance of shopping and dining destinations, great schools, and a full range of service offerings and amenities are available in the north end, including Vancouver Island’s largest mall, ensuring everything is close at hand. Meanwhile, with almost 50 connections between Nanaimo and the mainland each day, commuting workers and travelers alike will appreciate how easy and convenient it is to get on and off the Island.
With its exceptional location and rare combination of urban conveniences in a rural setting, the prestigious Foothills community truly affords an unparalleled lifestyle for the active household seeking the best of both worlds; we invite you to start your adventure today!
Located in the southern part of the District of Lantzville, in an area referred to as Upper Lantzville, and measuring over 1,800 acres, The Foothills community commands an elevated position above Lantzville amid a landscape of bedrock ridges and forested hillsides with panoramic views over the Strait of Georgia and the coastal mountains beyond afforded by the steep terrain. The Gateway to recreation in the backcountry, when fully developed, The Foothills community will offer its residents and visitors alike, 1,100 acres of protected parkland, over 22 km of hiking and biking trails, and 10 public viewpoints including the Copley and Lonetree Mountain summits, and 5 rock climbing areas.
A relaxed seaside community with a distinctly rural feel, Lantzville borders Nanaimo’s northern city limit and is made up of both Upper and Lower Lantzville, divided by the Island Highway. The majority of the community is comprised of residential neighborhoods although an industrial area along the highway and a small village that offers some casual dining options, including a pub, caters to residents’ basic needs while a full range of wants and needs are met in nearby North Nanaimo which offers numerous shopping and dining establishments, healthcare facilities, and amenities.
An elementary school is located in the heart of Lower Lantzville with older students going to the nearby secondary school minutes away in North Nanaimo, while Upper Lantzville also offers a private school offering classes from K through Grade 12.
As a seaside community, there are a number of public access ways to the beach in Lower Lantzville where sea lovers can explore the shoreline, swim, kayak, and paddleboard, with acreages inland providing space for horseback riding. The Lantzville foothills are already a popular destination for hikers and bikers with unparalleled access to 22 km of trails, 5 rock climbing areas, and 10 public viewpoints while golfers will appreciate nearby Winchelsea View Golf Course, offering year-round golf, with clubs at nearby Fairwinds and Nanaimo offering more challenging alternatives, both within a 20-minute drive.
Located on the east side of Vancouver Island, Nanaimo remains one of the fastest-growing urban centres in the province. The second largest city on the Island and 113km north of Victoria, Nanaimo is considered both the economic hub of central and northern Vancouver Island and the gateway to the recreational playground the Island is known and loved for. With almost 50 daily connections between Nanaimo and the mainland, it takes a mere 20 minutes by plane or 1.5 hours by ferry for commuting workers, travelers, and visitors alike to get on and off the Island.
Steeped in natural beauty from its shoreline, one of the longest in Canada, to its forested, mountain backdrop, Nanaimo is recognized as having one of the mildest climates in the country due to its above-zero temperatures throughout the fall and winter months, and comfortable weather in the spring and summer, providing year-round recreational opportunities and an exceptional quality of life.
