Description

This very special 1.45 acre building lot on the sunset side of the island is the largest property currently available in the new Arbutus Ridge development. It has multiple cleared areas already prepped for your custom architectural home. Many tall trees still remain, however, creating a serene and private setting with distant coastal views. There is even an old-growth Douglas Fir that still stands proud. With the long, gently sloping driveway that´s in place you have easy access to most of the 1.45 acres to develop as you wish. Included is a classic 1970s travel trailer, and a large woodshed. Walk to King Edward Bay Beach in about 10 minutes, where a private mooring buoy awaits (included). Forest bathe for hours with hiking with trails at your doorstep. (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.
