Rated as the jewel of the West Coast, the Sunshine Coast is known for its beauty, vibrant arts community and year round outdoor lifestyle. Residents and tourists seek out its shores and coastal hideaways as a means to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Is it time for you to do the same?

With the current extremely active real estate market on the Sunshine Coast, we are seeing an acceleration in a “Great Migration” from expensive and tax-heavy regions and major cities, into demand in smaller communities away from cities. Home owners from across Canada are more and more interested in a home at the foot of the mountains near the beach or overlooking the ocean, and it’s an exciting shift that Touchstone is poised to support.

Touchstone at Gospel Rock offers a residential mix unlike anywhere else on the Sunshine Coast. The Residences and The Townhomes, selling now, and Single Family Homesites coming soon, are all tied into the Village. With traffic-calmed streets that are laid out for jaw-dropping views and enhanced sun exposure, the Village with its Hotel and Plaza was designed to promote community spirit and create a welcoming experience for all visitors.

Stare out over the expanse, as you watch sailboats and cruise ships roll by, and if you listen closely you can enjoy the songs of sea lions below. With three protected parks also located at Touchstone, it’s the year-round access you’ve always wished you could have to astonishing panoramic views.
