Description
There is a moment on the back of this property where the yard stops, the green space takes over, and you understand exactly what half an acre buys you. No one behind you. No one looking in. Just trees and quiet and the sense that the day belongs to you again. Inside, the care shows, in the small ways you only really notice once you are living in a place. The rooms are properly sized rather than technically sized, the sort you can put real furniture in without measuring twice. Storage turns up where you want it, and there is more of it than you expect. The updates are already done, so there is no list waiting for you at the door. A heat pump keeps the whole home steady through the year, and the pellet stove handles the wet January evenings when you want something warmer than steady. Here there is room for the way you actually live. The RV has somewhere to go, and so do the boat, the trailer, the extra vehicles and the weekend toys that have been parked at a friend's place because there was nowhere else to put them. A garage. A fenced yard for the dog and the kids. Nearly half an acre, privately set, and every square foot of it usable rather than simply owned. Maple Bay is why people come to the Cowichan Valley in the first place, and this puts you in the middle of it. Maple Bay Elementary is a walk from the front door. Quamichan Lake, Mount Tzouhalem, the marina, the beaches and the trails are all a few minutes away, so a morning on the water or an afternoon on the mountain stops being a plan and becomes a decision you make at breakfast. Duncan is right there for the everyday, and Nanaimo and Victoria are both an easy run when you need them. Some homes you have to talk yourself into. This is not one of them. Space, privacy, room for everything you own, and Maple Bay at the end of the driveway. Very few properties in this pocket of the Valley offer all of it at once, and they rarely come available.

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.
