Description
Custom built by local contractor Pickard Construction, this modern and stylish West Coast home offers space, versatility and an exceptional Nanoose Bay lifestyle. Set on 0.41 acres, it provides almost 3,000 sq. ft. of living space with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an additional recreation room. The flexible upper level could be adapted into a suite, subject to RDN approval, creating possibilities for extended family, guests or rental income. Thoughtfully designed for comfortable year-round living, the home features a heat pump for efficient heating and cooling, an HRV system for air quality and circulation, and a cozy wood stove. More than two years’ worth of firewood is included for economical supplemental heat. Other highlights include a metal roof, wood siding, generous walk-in pantry, EV charger rough-in, paver patios, a partially fenced yard and a mature fig tree. A single attached garage is complemented by a double detached garage/workshop, offering abundant room for vehicles, projects, equipment and storage. One of this property’s greatest advantages is how much you can enjoy without leaving the neighbourhood. Walk to groceries and the shops and services at Red Gap, Nanoose Bay Elementary School, the library and community centre. Nearby biking and walking trails invite you to explore the outdoors, including trails well known to local mountain bikers. The community recreation fields offer pickleball, tennis, basketball and park golf. A short drive opens the door to Nanoose Bay’s farm-to-table lifestyle. Visit Rusted Rake Brewing, The Green Taphouse and Nanoose Bay Cafe, or shop for farm-fresh food at Springford Farm and local roadside stands. Fairwinds Golf Course, Marina and Wellness Centre are also just minutes away. With easy Island Highway access, Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo and downtown Parksville are both approximately 15 minutes from home. Everything you need is close by, and travelling north or south is simple when you want to venture farther. (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.

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.
