&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Top floor, set at the back of the building and framed by a leafy treed outlook, this 1 bedroom condo offers a rare sense of calm with no one above you. Soft natural light, almost 9 ft ceilings and a private balcony creates an elegant retreat for morning coffee or a quiet glass of wine at day’s end. The kitchen is designed for entertaining with quartz counters, hex tile backsplash, stainless appliances and an eating bar for three. Underground parking, a storage locker, bike storage and a new resident activity room for small gatherings and a book exchange. Pet friendly, no age or rental restrictions, plus the balance of the new home warranty. Step out to the E&amp;N trail, the nearby dog park, local pubs, schools and transit, paddle Portage Inlet or swim at Thetis Lake, and you are minutes to Victoria General Hospital and Eagle Creek shopping, with the Gorge Waterway, Colwood, Langford and downtown Victoria an easy drive away. Refined lock and leave living in sought after central View Royal.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at #16 278 Island Hwy in View Royal. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1048692-16-278-island-hwy-view-royal-v9b-1g5.110072118"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Room for the whole family, inside and out. Move-in ready and ticking every box, this 2 bed, 2 bath Village Grove townhouse delivers 1,430 sq ft finished over three levels, plus the storage buyers wish every townhouse had. The bright living room, separate dining room and updated kitchen give everyone room to spread out, and the primary bedroom has its own balcony and ensuite. A finished upstairs flex room works as a playroom, office or guest space, while two big attic rooms and a crawl space hold all the gear. The garage is a true bonus, with built-in shelving and cabinets, plus driveway parking and a mudroom and laundry right inside. Fresh paint and new carpet mean all you do is unpack. Step outside to gorgeous, park-like grounds with mature trees and space the whole family will love. Stroll to the beach, schoold, and the Galloping Goose, with Thetis Lake, Eagle Creek Village and Victoria General Hospital minutes away. *Vacant so photos have been virtually staged to showcase.&#xD;

This is the one!  Tucked away in Village Grove, one of View Royal’s best-kept secrets, this one bedroom, one bathroom end unit rancher townhome gives you what a condo can’t: your own front door, no elevators, no one above or below you, and a private patio and garden right off the living room. Bright, warm, lovingly cared for and move-in ready, it’s all on one level with no age restrictions. The kitchen flows into a dedicated dining room, the large, bright bedroom looks out to the garden, and in-suite laundry plus amazing crawlspace storage means you can bring it all. Outside, approximately four acres of common lawns, apple trees and flowers feel worlds away, yet everyday amenities are close by. The strata is wonderfully run, neighbours know each other, and the “Tree House” common room is ready for family gatherings and socials. Victoria General Hospital, shopping, beaches and the Galloping Goose Trail are minutes away. First home or next chapter, life gets sweeter here. Welcome Home!&#xD;

Tucked at the end of a quiet no through road, this immaculate 2 bed, 2 bath rancher delivers easy single level living and a home and yard someone has genuinely loved. The vaulted living room centres on a brick hearth and pellet stove, a separate dining room sits beneath a skylight, and a family room off the kitchen opens onto a covered patio made for everyday living. Heated tile runs through the main areas, hardwood warms both bedrooms, and skylights and bay windows pour light in all day. The kitchen shines with granite counters, cherry cabinetry with clever pull outs and a custom tile backsplash. The primary has a walk in closet and ensuite, and the main bath a deep soaker tub beneath its own skylight. Newer metal roof, updated septic, freshly painted exterior, deep single garage. The fenced backyard is private and low effort: mature hedging, flower beds, fruit trees, level lawn, garden pond, storage shed and irrigation. Walk to all levels of school, Royal Bay and Esquimalt Lagoon.&#xD;

I have sold a property at #411 3564A Ryder Hesjedal Way in Colwood on Sep 28, 2026. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1041156-411-3564a-ryder-hesjedal-way-colwood-v9c-0v3.109122288"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;

Top floor, and the ocean is genuinely there. Not a sliver between rooftops, a real view. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has barely been lived in and still feels brand new. It sits at the top of the building with two parking stalls, no one overhead, and the kind of light and quiet that only the top floor gives you. Step out and the building keeps going, with a rooftop terrace of lounge areas, an outdoor kitchen and common barbecue, an owner's lounge with its own kitchen for the gatherings that outgrow your dining table, a gym, and a dog wash station for the muddy walk home. Two dogs or two cats are welcome, with no size restrictions. And Royal Bay is already here. Shops, schools, parks, trails and the waterfront are built and busy rather than promised, so while so much of the competition nearby is still selling a future, you can walk down to the beach the week you get the keys. And with no GST, your money goes into the home rather than on top of it.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 589 Ledsham Rd in Colwood. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1050634-589-ledsham-rd-colwood-v9c-1j9.109897934"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
589 Ledsham Road offers builders, investors and commercial owner-users an opportunity to acquire a level development site in Colwood's growing West Shore market. The 16,553 sq. ft. property provides approximately 72.5 ft. of frontage and is located just off the Sooke Road commercial corridor. Community Commercial (C2) zoning permits a broad range of uses, including retail, restaurants, offices, personal services, daycare and fitness facilities. Current zoning allows a maximum 1.0 FAR, representing approximately 16,553 sq. ft. of buildable floor area, with up to 50% lot coverage and a maximum height of three storeys. The property is improved with an approximately 2000 sq. ft. single-family home generating holding income on a month on a month-to-month tenancy, while providing ample storage and parking for commercial activities. A 2021 Phase I ESA did not recommend further Phase II investigation. Development potential is subject to municipal approval and purchaser due diligence.&#xD;

Tucked at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in Oakview Estates, this 3 bed, 2 bath double wide offers over 1,200 sq ft on a single level. Large windows fill the home with natural light, and a stone wood burning fireplace anchors the living room under vaulted beamed ceilings. The dining room sits on its own, and the kitchen has a built in wall oven and a breakfast bar made for morning coffee. Three good sized bedrooms sit quietly at the far end. Storage is something almost no home this size can offer, with a 19 ft mudroom, a walk in pantry and a proper laundry room. A sunroom off the front entry catches the morning light. Stay warm through winter with oil forced air heat, and cool all summer with ductless heat pump heads. Covered carport, gated parking, and a yard to make your own. Bring your design ideas, the layout is solid and the options here are endless. Family and pet friendly with no age restrictions, walk to Admirals Walk, the E&amp;N Trail and the Gorge waterway.&#xD;

Tucked at the end of a quiet no through road, this immaculate 2 bed, 2 bath rancher delivers easy single level living and a home and yard someone has genuinely loved. The vaulted living room centres on a brick hearth and pellet stove, a separate dining room sits beneath a skylight, and a family room off the kitchen opens onto a covered patio made for everyday living. Heated tile runs through the main areas, hardwood warms both bedrooms, and skylights and bay windows pour light in all day. The kitchen shines with granite counters, cherry cabinetry with clever pull outs and a custom tile backsplash. The primary has a walk in closet and ensuite, and the main bath a deep soaker tub beneath its own skylight. Newer metal roof, updated septic, freshly painted exterior, deep single garage. The fenced backyard is private and low effort: mature hedging, flower beds, fruit trees, level lawn, garden pond, storage shed and irrigation. Walk to all levels of school, Royal Bay and Esquimalt Lagoon.&#xD;

A private gated patio, a gas fireplace and hardwood floors underfoot set this ground floor one bedroom, one bathroom condo apart.

Storage is exceptional for a one bedroom, from the walk-in bedroom closet to the full-height pantry and more.

All of this in a well run, proactive strata close to downtown, shopping and the Gorge waterway. Dogs and cats are welcome and rentals are permitted.

Situated on a flat, square ¼-acre lot, this family home combines country charm with valuable modern updates. The current owners have completed many significant improvements, including a full kitchen renovation with stainless steel appliances, a beautifully updated bathroom, new windows, new flooring throughout, a new heat pump, improved backyard drainage, covered private deck area downstairs foyer/mudroom created off the carport for easier access, and a new garage roof was installed on the detached garage in 2020. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done. The location is hard to beat! Walk to all levels of schools, enjoy nearby river swimming holes, explore scenic hiking trails, and spend your weekends discovering beautiful beaches and hidden artist studios throughout the area. Cedar offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living while remaining just minutes from downtown Nanaimo.&#xD;

I have sold a property at 713 Kangaroo Rd in Metchosin on Sep 14, 2026. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1038618-713-kangaroo-rd-metchosin-v9c-4e2.109072917"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Country cottage charm on a flat, private half-acre in Metchosin. Set behind mature hedging and established gardens, this 3 bed, 2 bath home blends original 1950 character with a pedigree few cottages can claim: the kitchen, living and dining spaces were redesigned in 2000 by Vancouver Island architect Pamela Charlesworth. A 1985 primary bedroom addition gives the layout real function. Recent updates include a 200 amp panel and a new hot water tank. The home is on municipal water and offers an unfinished walkout basement for storage, workshop or flex space with direct yard access. Out back, the lot opens to a forested setting. Charming and livable today, with some updating ahead to bring it the rest of the way. Steps from the galloping goose trail and Metchosin Village. For a buyer who wants flat Metchosin land and cottage character, this is a rare opportunity in one of Greater Victoria's most sought-after rural communities, and the finished package will be something special.&#xD;

Tucked at the end of a quiet no through road, this immaculate 2 bed, 2 bath rancher delivers easy single level living and a home and yard someone has genuinely loved. The vaulted living room centres on a brick hearth and pellet stove, a separate dining room sits beneath a skylight, and a family room off the kitchen opens onto a covered patio made for everyday living. Heated tile runs through the main areas, hardwood warms both bedrooms, and skylights and bay windows pour light in all day. The kitchen shines with granite counters, cherry cabinetry with clever pull outs and a custom tile backsplash. The primary has a walk in closet and ensuite, and the main bath a deep soaker tub beneath its own skylight. Newer metal roof, updated septic, freshly painted exterior, deep single garage. The fenced backyard is private and low effort: mature hedging, flower beds, fruit trees, level lawn, garden pond, storage shed and irrigation. Walk to all levels of school, Royal Bay and Esquimalt Lagoon.&#xD;

I have listed a new property at 1691 Strathcona Heights Rd in Shawnigan Lake. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1048580-1691-strathcona-heights-rd-shawnigan-lake-v8h-2a9.109704343"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Perched above beautiful Shawnigan Lake, 1691 Strathcona Heights offers 5 private acres with stunning west-facing views and unforgettable sunsets. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is perfectly positioned on a sunny slope, blending privacy, nature, and everyday comfort. The spacious main living area opens onto a huge view deck complete with hot tub—ideal for relaxing evenings overlooking the lake. Inside, you’ll find a functional family layout with generous bedrooms and inviting gathering spaces.

I have listed a new property at #402 3240 Jacklin Rd in Langford. &lt;a href="https://stiegandmanning.com/mylistings.html/listing.1048336-402-3240-jacklin-rd-langford-v9c-3t6.109697951"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Everything on your list, and a few things you did not think to ask for. This top floor home at Jacklin Ridge has the piece most one bedrooms miss: a large open den, a genuine second space for your desk, your guests or the hobby that never had a home. Glass runs floor to ceiling under a full 9 feet of height, so the light gets everywhere. A fireplace makes winter easy and your balcony catches the sunsets with the hills on the horizon. Nobody lives above you and nobody walks past your windows. Cook on stainless appliances at an island your friends can sit at, and keep the bikes and gear in a large locker downstairs. In suite laundry, parking, a fitness room and bike storage come with it. Bring two dogs, two cats, or one of each, at any size. Groceries, coffee and dinner out are a stroll away at Belmont Market, with trails, transit and the highway close by. Add it up, the den, the light, the fireplace, the pets, the price, and this one is hard to beat. Come see it for yourself.&#xD;

Ready for Lake Life? You can have it here. Set on a private, fully fenced .41-acre lot in the heart of Shawnigan Lake, this 3 bed, 3 bath home offers space, lifestyle and huge potential just approx. two blocks from lake access and the Government Wharf, known locally as “The Gov.” Launch the boat, swim, picnic or enjoy the lake with ease, then come home to fruit trees, established veggie gardens, fully fenced yard, a sunroom, double garage and room for toys, projects and outdoor living. Store the boat in the backyard, open the back gate onto Heald Road and head straight to the lake. The home could use updating, but the land, location, privacy and lifestyle are hard to beat. Walk to the village for shops, cafés and everyday needs, with schools, trails and community amenities close by. Quick access to Duncan, Mill Bay, the highway and the Westshore makes this an ideal full-time home, lake-area retreat or long-term investment in one of Vancouver Island’s most loved lake communities today&#xD;
