Description
Complete privacy is offered from this enclave in Maracaibo Estates overlooking Trincomali Channel. This 4.7-acre property blends rugged natural beauty—mossy rock ridges, Madrona groves and layered benches—with accessible ocean view corridors and outlooks. Ready-to-build zoning permits both a primary home, guest cottage, and outbuilding. Two Building plans have been approved and are available to be used or modified to create your desired dream home. The heavy lifting has already been done: hydro and water lines are run directly to the building site, with a septic field to service both the main residence and the cottage. The community-oriented, family friendly Maracaibo lifestyle awaits, with year-round shared amenities including secure private moorage, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, well-maintained walking trails, tennis & pickleball courts. An exceptional canvas for those ready to build a coastal retreat. Listing Price does not include Maracaibo share. Viewings by appointment only. (id:63159)

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.
