Description

Lovingly owned by the same owner for the past 26 years, the land has been thoughtfully cleared, levelled, and planted with mature trees to create an exceptional setting for your future home. With municipal water already connected, a driveway in place, and a mostly cleared, partially fenced lot, much of the groundwork has already been completed. The thoughtful placement of the shop and outbuildings leaves multiple outstanding building sites for your dream home while maximizing privacy and functionality. The impressive 46’6 x 30’6 three-bay shop is the cornerstone of the property, featuring 14-foot overhead doors, a durable slab-on-grade foundation, wired and an attractive yellow cedar exterior. The roof was replaced in 2019, and a 15’ x 30’ covered storage area at the rear. CR-1 zoning offers outstanding versatility, permitting a single-family detached home of unlimited size along with a secondary dwelling or carriage house, making this an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living, rental income, or future flexibility. Surrounded by beautiful homes, farms, and orchards, this peaceful location offers the best of rural living while remaining within walking distance of local beaches. A rare opportunity to own a property where decades of careful planning and stewardship have created the perfect canvas for your vision. (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.

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.
