Description
Incredible Value An exceptional WATERFRONT opportunity in the heart of View Royal has hit the market. This expansive 14,850 sq ft, southeast-facing property is quietly tucked along Limekiln Cove, offering breathtaking ocean views toward the Olympic Mountains and Fisgard Lighthouse. Zoned to allow up to four units under SSMUH guidelines, the lot presents outstanding flexibility, whether for a striking custom waterfront residence or a thoughtfully designed multi-unit project. Enjoy the rare potential for a private dock, morning paddle launches, and sunrise views over calm coastal waters. Recent site remediation has already been completed, saving valuable time and expense. Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street just minutes from downtown Victoria, Vic General Hospital, schools, Eagle Creek Village, and the Galloping Goose Trail. A truly rare blend of location, views, and development potential in one of Greater Victoria’s most coveted seaside pockets. (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.
