Description
Set on 10.34 acres in Chemainus, this hobby farm has not been on the market for 3 1/2 decades. The farm has been home to horses, cows, sheep, pigs, and poultry. Askew Creek runs through this acreage, with hundreds of meters of access. A bridge provides access to the backfield/ forested area with Cedar, Maple, Douglas Fir and Alder trees. Home is a solid 4-bed, 1.5-bath, 1504 sq. ft. Ranch with an eat-in kitchen, a cozy wood-heated living room, separate family room leading to a 540 sq.ft. deck to enjoy the pastoral views. Property includes a 920 sq. ft. barn with 3-4 stalls with a 601 sq.ft. loft with 10' ceiling. A 784 sq. Ft. work-shop garage was built with timber from the property. Lands boast a year-round spring and non-power stream storage water license for irrigation. There is a large foundation that was previously used for a greenhouse. Currently in ALR. The year-round creek, seasonal pond makes a beautiful park like setting. Electric and water in place to an existing RV pad. (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.

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.
