Description
Welcome to your private forest retreat on beautiful Vancouver Island. This extraordinary 4.86-acre estate offers the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and functionality—just minutes from the Nanaimo Airport and Duke Point ferry, and steps from stunning beaches ideal for kayaking and beachcombing. Nestled beside a protected old growth forest (Wildwood), the custom log home spans over 3,900+ sq ft and is surrounded by peaceful, natural beauty. A private lake winds through the property, featuring a charming pergola with a covered fireplace and a cascading waterfall. The estate is beautifully lit for evening strolls along custom garden paths or the private road circling the grounds. Outdoor highlights include a lakefront campsite with a built-in stone firepit and BBQ, a gardener’s paradise of indigenous and exotic plants, an elevated rose garden, and multiple seating areas with lake views. There are 7 garages including drive-through and workshop-ready spaces, a 10x20 storage building, a large fenced dog area with custom 10x10 dog house, a well with dual 2,200-gallon cisterns, and designated farm status. The handcrafted log home features full round logs, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and hardwood floors. Inside, you’ll find a granite-accented entry with custom double doors, an expansive living/dining space with Blaze King wood stove, and a chef’s kitchen with solid maple cabinets, copper backsplash, large island, pass-through window, and walk-in pantry. There are four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with private patio, wood stove, dual walk-in closets, spa-inspired ensuite, and sitting room with clawfoot tub. Additional features include a loft bedroom with spiral staircase, private-entry bedroom with study, split full bath with antique vanities, and attic access. A detached carriage house includes a 1-bedroom suite with kitchen, laundry, wood stove, and a large lake-view deck—perfect for guests or rental income. A truly rare and versatile West Coast gem.

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.
