Footprint Ventures

Find land in Greater Victoria

The right site shapes everything that comes after it — how a home sits on the land, what it costs to build, and how it feels to live in. Greater Victoria's mix of slope, coastline, and zoning makes site selection more complicated than it looks. Footprint Ventures helps you find land that actually works for the home you want to build.

A rare one-acre canvas on the Saanich Peninsula — gently sloping, mature-treed land among neighbouring forests, vineyards, and hobby farms. ALR zoning preserves the rural character while leaving room for an orchard, kitchen garden, or hobby vineyard. Twenty minutes to downtown Victoria, five minutes to Butchart Gardens, and close to Saanich Peninsula wineries — a secluded setting with room to build your own vision rather than inherit someone else's floor plan.

Tell us what you're looking for

This isn't an MLS search — it's a personal review by Footprint's land team. Tell us the areas you're considering, your budget, and what you need from a site, and we'll let you know what's realistic and what to watch for. We typically respond within 2 business days, often faster.

What we look for in a building site

• Access & road frontage — Can the site be reached and serviced without major cost? • Slope & drainage — A workable grade affects both foundation cost and design options. • Services — Municipal water and sewer, or well and septic — availability changes the budget significantly. • Zoning & permitted use — What can actually be built here, and how does that match your plans? • Exposure & orientation — Sun path and views affect both design and long-term livability. • Soil & environmental conditions — Bedrock, water tables, and protected areas can all affect buildability. • Neighbourhood context — What's around the site now, and how might that change?

Finding the right site is just the first step. From there, Footprint can help with optional planning and design, then carry the project through construction to keys — one coordinated team, start to finish.
