Sproat Lake Homes
Sproat Lake has always been a residential lake, and it’s no surprise why. The 25km long lake encompassed by mountain ranges and old growth trees, makes for an ideal place to settle down. The houses and properties around the lake not only offer spectacular views, but a serene sense of calm takes over the moment you turn off the highway.
Living on the lake brings the best of the West Coast; lush green forests, calm waters, and mountain views. The houses along the lake comprise West Coast living; out one window the serene lake, another window frames the natural beauty of the forests, and yet another taking in the magnificent mountains.
A Sproat Lake Official Community Plan was created in 2005 and again in 2014 to help plan and prepare for growth of the Sproat Lake community; this plan looks at everything from a Community Vision, Agriculture, Environmental Conservation, Employment, Tourism, Heritage, and Residential Living. A lot of thought has gone into the Sproat Lake community over the years, ensuring that all the boxes have been ticked for everyone that decides to settle down here.
