Description
Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of Ladysmith, BC, this exceptional bespoke oceanfront estate offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful craftsmanship, and relaxed coastal living. Set on a beautifully landscaped and private 0.62-acre lot, the property feels like a botanical retreat with curated gardens, a working greenhouse, and a striking palm tree. A stamped concrete driveway and covered entry create a welcoming first impression. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with seven unique patios and decks designed for relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy the firepit patio, BBQ deck, peaceful Dogwood deck, sunny breakfast deck, family dining patio, guest cottage patio, and the spectacular Orca deck perched at the water’s edge. With walk-on waterfront access and a dedicated shoreline seating area, the ocean is always just steps away. Inside, maple hardwood floors, crown moulding, and recessed lighting create a warm and elegant feel. The beautifully appointed kitchen features quartz countertops, a propane range, tile backsplash, and a generous island with seating for four. It flows seamlessly into the dining area and bright breakfast room with deck access and stunning ocean views. The living room centres around a cozy propane fireplace and a large picture window framing the ever-changing seascape. Upstairs, a charming library and sitting area with opening skylights leads to the spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite featuring a pedestal tub with ocean views, dual sinks, quartz counters, bidet, and tiled shower. A second bedroom completes the upper level. The lower level offers a bedroom, large rec room, laundry with outside access, wet room bath, and a fishing/storage room. A detached self-contained guest suite with kitchen, propane fireplace, sauna & private patio is ideal for guests or extended family, while a workshop with woodstove, skylights, and ample storage completes this remarkable property.

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.
