Description
Imagine arriving by boat to your own beautifully crafted West Coast treehouse, tucked quietly within the forest on one of the Gulf Islands. Thoughtfully designed and built, this cabin offers a rare combination of setting, materials, craftsmanship, and flexibility for year-round living, remote work, or memorable family getaways. Set on 0.78 acres on Mudge Island, the home features post and beam construction with traditional peg and tenon joinery, using fir and arbutus milled directly from the property. Vaulted ceilings (12+ ft) and a full wall of thermal windows fill the space with natural light and create a sense of openness well beyond the 552 sq ft footprint, while the expansive deck extends the living area into the trees. Inside, craftsmanship continues with wide-plank flooring milled from salvaged logs, alder cabinetry with live-edge countertops, and custom old-growth cedar entry doors. A UV-filtered rainwater system provides hot and cold water, complemented by a composting toilet, private outdoor shower, power shed, and access to high-speed internet. Access by private boat or water taxi. All information to be verified if deemed important. (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.
