Set on 6.624 acres of pristine waterfront, this exceptional property offers 583 feet of private shoreline and an unmatched sense of tranquility. Tucked away in a serene, natural setting, it’s the perfect escape—quiet, private, and surrounded by beauty—yet still conveniently close to recreation and the beloved Crow & Gate Pub. The property features a well-appointed home with a double garage, along with a versatile workshop and studio space that can easily be converted to accommodate multigenerational living or guest quarters. Whether you're seeking flexibility, creativity, or room to grow, this property delivers. Enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle right from your doorstep—kayak, canoe, paddleboard, or fish along your own waterfront, complete with a private dock. With no subdivision potential, the integrity of this peaceful haven is preserved, ensuring lasting privacy and calm. As a charming bonus, two friendly goats—Norton-Albert, and Maddie—can stay and become part of your new country lifestyle. A rare offering that blends natural beauty, versatility, and serenity—this is truly a ''little slice of paradise''. (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.
