Description
Executive Estate. Set on an exceptionally private, park-like 2-acre property in the exclusive Garden Gate enclave, this beautifully updated European-inspired residence offers a rare blend of tranquillity, space and convenience. Surrounded by magnificent mature landscaping, the grounds have been thoughtfully transformed into an extraordinary outdoor retreat featuring winding paved pathways, entertainment patios, landscape lighting, a tranquil sunken garden with koi pond, and extensive irrigation with more than 40 zones. Substantially improved throughout, the home benefits from fresh interior and exterior paint, a new heat pump, new septic field, renovated bathrooms, and quality custom millwork. The updated chef’s kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, quality appliances, and a handsome butcher block island. Custom built-ins throughout the home add warmth, and character including the inviting living room which showcases a bay window overlooking the grounds and a custom mantel with gas fireplace. Offering approximately 5,044 sq. ft. of living space, the versatile floor plan includes three bedrooms upstairs, highlighted by a deluxe primary retreat with additional accommodation options on the main and lower levels for guests, recreation, hobbies, or home office use. Meticulously maintained, this efficient home is a rare offering in one of the region’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, just 30 minutes from Downtown Victoria. (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.
