By NanaimoRealEstateTeam.com

Situated in lush, treed surroundings with scenic views of Duck Pond, North Nanaimo real estate ’s newest high-end, patio-home development offers lovely low-maintenance living.  The Rocklands at Rutherford presents 25 elegant townhomes nestled in a natural setting in Vancouver Island’s Nanaimo real estate.  Residents enjoy the scenery right outside the Rocklands at Rutherford homes as well as the many walkways and hiking trails around this beautiful real estate in Nanaimo. 
Rockland’s Nanaimo homes are centrally located with easy access to all amenities such as the theatre, library, shopping malls, hospital, golf courses, waters to fish, and mountains to ski—close enough to both Victoria and Comox. 

Home styles vary from the sought-after, one-level-entry rancher to the level-entry rancher with walkout basements.  The award-winning building, Georgia View Home Builders Ltd., offers tasteful interiors in a choice of two interior color schemes and with many energy conservative features.  Over the years, these floor plans have proven themselves to have an excellent, long-term re-sale value.  Georgia View also offers 10-year, home-warranty programs.   

The 25 exclusive residences range from 1536 to 2526 square feet tailored to each building site, resulting in spacious complexes with a wonderful, safe-and-secure neighborhood feel.  Look for streets lined with designer light posts, pre-wired security systems, state-of-the-art, fire-suppression systems, solid fir entry doors with thumb latch hardware and deadbolts. 

Residents enjoy hardwood floors and plush Berber carpet, imported ceramic tile, cozy natural-gas fireplaces with elegant porcelain surround, Moen faucets, and 9- to 10-foot ceilings on main levels, mini-blinds, kitchen nooks, eating bars, maple cabinetry, crown molding, high-quality appliances, and large master suites.  The built-in vacuum systems, ample storage rooms, raised-panel interior doors, pewter hardware, wide baseboards, cable and high-speed Internet outlets, Decora light switches, extra large windows, natural-gas fired kitchens, decks, heating, and hot water systems, and insulated two-car garages with remote openers.

Stepping out on sundecks and patios or through a covered entry porch, residents are freed by the low-maintenance landscaped grounds with irrigation, 30-year, fiberglass shingles and stone veneers, Hardi-plank siding, exposed concrete driveway and pathways, vinyl decking, and quiet backyards with a heavenly, southern exposure.  Buyers choose from a long list of additional upgrades.  Look for price tags in the $400,000.

During the last couple of decades, this eastern-seaboard city has transformed itself into a very desirable place to live.  In fact, many people would live nowhere else in the world.  They relish in the fishing, skiing, camping, hiking, great shopping centers, and some of the most beautiful parks and beaches on the west coast of Canada.  They love the quick escape via paddle wheeler to Provincial Marine Park where there are no cars—just quiet paths around the island habitat for deer, raccoon, rabbits, and plentiful bald eagles.
