Description
Set on a stunning 5-acre parcel, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, versatility, and unbeatable convenience. With approximately 3 acres of beautiful forest, the setting feels like your own secluded retreat—peaceful, natural, and full of charm—yet you’re less than a minute to shopping and only 5 minutes to town. The main home is warm and inviting, complemented by a detached 1-bedroom suite that’s perfect for extended family, guests, or added rental income. For those seeking opportunity, the property is currently set up as doggy daycare and boarding operation, housed in a separate building—creating a seamless live/work setup or the potential for a variety of other uses as well as a second home in need of renovations. A2 zoning adds tremendous value, allowing for a wide range of possibilities whether you’re looking to expand a business, create a hobby farm, or simply enjoy the space as your own private acreage. Properties that offer this level of flexibility, natural beauty, and proximity to amenities are incredibly hard to find. A truly magical setting with endless potential—this is an outstanding opportunity and exceptional value all in one. (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.
