Description
Two homes + a shop set on 1.32 flat, sun drenched acres in Cobble Hill’s sought after Farnsworth neighbourhood. The main residence offers over 2,600 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, combining generous living spaces with everyday comfort, oak hardwood floors, and a heat pump with A/C. The secondary building includes a 3 piece bathroom and has been thoughtfully adapted into a wood workshop, gym, and large storage area, with a carport and existing hookups in place to restore as a self contained home. Ideal for multigenerational living or long or short term rental use. An over height shop provides exceptional space for RVs, boats, or equipment. Fully fenced and impeccably maintained with irrigation, ample parking, and a double tiered deck wired for a hot tub. Located next to Farnsworth Park with a sport court and just minutes to Shawnigan Lake, with quick highway access to amenities while still enjoying peaceful rural living. (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.
