Description
Private 2.38-acre oceanfront property with approx 330 feet of low-bank shoreline, a self-contained suite, and one of the largest usable waterfront parcels available in the area. Set at the end of a private drive in Cherry Point, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, usable acreage, and accessible waterfront. The mostly level land stretches to the water's edge, with open lawns, mature landscaping, and plenty of space for family gatherings, recreation, or simply enjoying the setting. The home is designed for comfortable day-to-day living while also accommodating larger gatherings. Generous principal rooms, abundant natural light, and water views from many of the main living areas create a welcoming and functional space throughout. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat within the home, complete with a sitting area and beautiful ocean views. A detached three-car garage with a self-contained ocean-view suite above adds exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, a home office, or future rental income. The separate accommodation enhances the property's versatility and, together with the overall layout, makes it well-suited to multi-generational living. Located just minutes from Cowichan Bay Village and marina, you'll enjoy convenient access to local shops, restaurants, boating, and everyday amenities while still enjoying the privacy and tranquility of waterfront living. Properties offering this combination of acreage, privacy, low-bank waterfront, and flexibility rarely become available. Whether you're seeking a waterfront family home, a multi-generational property, or a long-term investment with income potential, this property presents a unique opportunity in one of Vancouver Island's most desirable coastal communities.

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.
