Description
Set on the waterfront of Mudge Island off Vancouver Island in BC, this rare boat-access property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a private coastal retreat complete with a valuable foreshore lease and private dock—features that are increasingly difficult to find and add significant long-term value and convenience. Located just 25 minutes from Nanaimo and within easy reach of the Lower Mainland, the property combines peaceful island living with practical accessibility, while also benefiting from full services including electricity, cable, and internet—an uncommon advantage for island properties. Positioned near Dodd Narrows, the area is renowned for its abundant marine life, offering frequent sightings of whales and eagles along with excellent fishing, prawning, and crabbing. Set on just under one acre, the property features a well-maintained cabin with over 900 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, including a bright, open main level with vaulted ceilings, a cozy woodstove, and large windows that capture ocean views, as well as a spiral staircase leading to an inviting loft. A scenic deck with frameless glass railings provides the perfect place to take in the surroundings. Additional improvements include a large 600 sq ft garage/shop with lean-to, a detached self-contained guest suite above (approximately 400 sq ft) complete with kitchen, dining area, 3-piece bathroom, and bunk beds, plus a woodshed and dedicated storage/freezer room. The property is fully equipped with a drilled well, cistern, septic system, and a separate utility building housing the water system and additional storage. Within walking distance to Dodd Narrows and offering a rare blend of privacy, infrastructure, and ocean access, this unique island property is ideally suited for full-time living or as a weekend escape. All measurements are approximate and data should be verified if important. (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.

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.
