Highlands Homes For Sale
The Highlands is one of Greater Victoria's most unique and sought-after rural communities — a peaceful, forested municipality nestled between Langford, Saanich, and the Malahat that offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access to urban amenities. For those who dream of acreage living, old growth forests, and a true connection to the West Coast landscape, the Highlands is in a class of its own.
Why People Love Living in the Highlands
The Highlands is defined by its unwavering commitment to preserving its rural character and natural environment. Residents choose to build homes that blend harmoniously with the landscape — minimizing vegetation removal, using natural materials, and positioning homes for privacy rather than visibility. The result is a community that feels genuinely wild and remote while being just 10-30 minutes from Langford's shopping centres, downtown Victoria, and the airport.
The community is home to some of the most spectacular natural spaces on southern Vancouver Island including Mount Work Regional Park — the highest peak on the Saanich Peninsula — with swimming holes, fishing, and breathtaking 360-degree views. Lone Tree Hill Regional Park and Gowlland Tod Provincial Park offer world-class hiking and mountain biking right at residents' doorsteps.
Real Estate in the Highlands
The Highlands offers some of the most exclusive and distinctive real estate available anywhere in Greater Victoria. With only 8 active listings currently available — reflecting the area's intentionally limited development — properties here are genuinely rare and highly sought after. Buyers will find everything from charming acreage homes starting around $750,000 to extraordinary private estates of 5, 10, 20, or even 77 acres ranging well into the millions.
Every property in the Highlands comes with something increasingly hard to find — space, privacy, silence, and a direct connection to the natural world. Many properties feature wells, septic systems, mature forest, streams, and direct access to regional park trail networks.
Schools & Education
Highlands students are served by School District 62 (Sooke) with access to schools in neighbouring Langford and Colwood. The area's proximity to Langford also provides convenient access to Camosun College's Interurban Campus.
Recreation & Amenities
The Highlands is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts with Mount Work Regional Park, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, Lone Tree Hill, and Thetis Lake Regional Park all nearby. Residents enjoy hiking, mountain biking, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, and wildlife watching virtually from their own properties.
