🏡 Coming Soon: 5100 Venture Rd, Courtenay BC – Spacious Family Home Near Seal Bay Park

A rare gem in one of Courtenay’s most beloved neighborhoods is about to hit the market!
5100 Venture Rd is a beautifully maintained, two-owner family home located in the sought-after Huband Subdivision — just steps away from the natural beauty of Seal Bay Park.

Perfectly positioned on a quiet corner lot, this home offers both space and serenity, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a long-term investment in the Comox Valley real estate market.

🛏️ Spacious & Flexible Living

Boasting 2855 square feet across two levels, this home features:

• 5 bedrooms

• 3 full bathrooms

• A flexible den or office space that could serve as a 6th bedroom

The main floor offers 3 generous bedrooms, a bright living room with oversized windows, and a cozy fireplace — perfect for family time or quiet evenings.
Downstairs, you'll find 2 more bedrooms, a large family room, and a multi-purpose den, ideal for a home office, gym, or guest suite.

🌳 Outdoor Living & Park-Like Privacy

Step outside and enjoy a private backyard oasis complete with two large decks, mature trees, and lush landscaping that feels like your own private park.

Whether you’re entertaining, gardening, or relaxing in nature, 5100 Venture Rd offers the perfect outdoor lifestyle — all while being just minutes to downtown Courtenay.

📍 Prime Location Near Seal Bay Park

Living at 5100 Venture Rd means you’re part of the quiet, family-friendly Huband Subdivision, known for its large lots, peaceful streets, and strong community vibe.
And with Seal Bay Park just steps away, you'll have immediate access to trails, nature, and recreation.

🗝️ Why This Home Stands Out

✅ 2855 sq ft of living space
✅ 5 bedrooms + office/den
✅ 2 large outdoor decks & mature landscaping
✅ Corner lot in a peaceful, established neighborhood
✅ Sought-after Huband Subdivision location
✅ Walkable to Seal Bay Park

🌿 7 Hidden Gems to Explore in the Comox Valley (That Even Some Locals Don’t Know About)

The Comox Valley is known for its natural beauty, but beyond the beaches and bustling trails are quiet, tucked-away spots that feel like your own private slice of paradise. Whether you're new to the area or have lived here for years, these hidden gems are worth adding to your weekend list.

Here are 7 lesser-known places in the Comox Valley that locals love—and visitors are thrilled to discover.

🏞️ 1. Barber’s Hole – A Secret Swimming Sanctuary

Tucked within the lush trails of Nymph Falls Nature Park, Barber’s Hole is a crystal-clear pool of calm water surrounded by mossy rock ledges. It’s perfect for a peaceful summer swim or just soaking your feet after a walk. The short hike in adds to the secluded feel, and the water is refreshingly cold—even in July!

Local Tip: Go early in the morning or on weekdays for the most tranquil experience.

🍂 2. Trent River Falls – The Valley’s Hidden Waterfall

While most people zip past on their way to Fanny Bay, Trent River Falls offers a magical detour just off Highway 19. A short trail leads to a thundering waterfall tucked into a forested ravine. It's one of the Valley's lesser-known natural wonders, and feels untouched.

Local Tip: Wear good shoes—it can be a bit slippery after rain.

🛶 3. Maple Lake – Paddleboarder’s Paradise

Tucked off the beaten path between Cumberland and Courtenay, Maple Lake is a calm, shallow freshwater lake perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, or a quiet afternoon with a book. It’s one of those places you’d miss unless someone told you about it.

Local Tip: Access is easiest from the end of Minto Road. Bring a folding chair and a thermos of coffee—you won’t want to leave.

🏖️ 4. Goose Spit’s Secret Staircase

Most locals have visited Goose Spit Park, but fewer have ventured to the staircase trail hidden on the far end of the beach. It Offers incredible views of Comox Harbor and the surrounding mountains.

Local Tip: Sunset is the best time to catch the colors and avoid crowds.

🥾 5. One Spot Trail – A Walk Through History

This old rail line turned walking path is a peaceful, flat trail that winds through forests and farmland. Stretching from Courtenay to the north, it’s a great alternative to busier trails like Seal Bay.

Local Tip: It’s perfect for dog walkers and cyclists. Bonus: wild blackberries in late summer!

🌅 6. Lazo Marsh – Birdwatcher’s Retreat

If you love quiet nature walks and birdwatching, Lazo Marsh in Comox is a hidden treasure. Raised boardwalks guide you through marshland and forest, and the sounds of nature are all around.

Local Tip: Bring binoculars—owls, herons, and even the occasional eagle make appearances.

🧺 7. Merville Market & Roadside Farm Stands

Drive through Merville and you’ll find rustic farm stands and tiny pop-up markets selling everything from duck eggs to handmade soap. They’re often on the honor system, and visiting them is a throwback to simpler times.

Local Tip: Bring cash and a cooler—fresh produce sells out fast on hot days.

🧭 Ready to Explore?

The Comox Valley is full of these tucked-away treasures—and that’s part of what makes living here so special. Whether you’re planning a weekend adventure or dreaming of a lifestyle that’s more connected to nature, there’s always something new to discover.

Looking for a home base near places like these? We’d love to help you find your perfect place in the Valley.
