Description
This gorgeous Bowen cottage sits just one back from waterfront, right behind the Mt Gardner government dock and neighbouring beaches of Galbraith Bay. Nearly 11-and-a-half acres of gorgeous forest, with flat spaces and stunning ocean views. Inside is well-maintained, cute and cozy, with an open plan LR/DR/Kitchen, office/den, primary bedroom above, and kids bed nooks off a fun rec room. Detached studio for man-cave or she-shed includes fireplace and bathroom. Wrap around decks take advantage of the views of Hutt and Gambier Islands, as well as the sunsets above the Sunshine Coast beyond. Properties rarely come up for sale along this stretch of Bowen, especially ones of this size. Please ask about available mooring buoy to be included. (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.
