Description
Experience off-grid living in sunny Youbou. Offered as three titles sold together, this approximately 1-acre property is fully enclosed by an 8-foot elk fence and surrounded by mountains and forest, with lake glimpses and a wonderful mix of sun and shade. The charming log cabin features two living areas, two bathrooms, an open kitchen and dining area, upstairs sleeping quarters, and a spacious laundry/storage room. Solar panels provide power for light daily use, supplemented by a 3,000-watt generator for larger appliances. Additional structures include a workshop/generator building, woodshed, storage shed, and a converted bunkhouse ideal for extra sleeping space or a games room. A mountain spring provides water year-round. Enjoy lake access just across the road via an easement, or take a scenic walk to the beach at Pine Point Campground. (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
