Description
njoy Georgia Strait and mountain views from the upper deck of this beautifully maintained Bowser home, tucked away on a quiet no-through road just a 2-minute walk to the community beach and popular shore fishing spots. Set on a private half-acre lot with mature gardens, hydrangeas, cherry and Italian plum trees, this property offers the peaceful coastal lifestyle so many buyers are looking for. The main home features a warm and inviting open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings, a spacious kitchen and dining area, and a comfortable living room that opens nicely to the outdoor patio. The main-floor primary bedroom adds convenience and privacy, while the upper level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a generous family room that leads onto the view deck—an ideal spot to take in the ocean and mountain backdrop. Adding to the flexibility of the property is a detached 2-bedroom guest cottage with a full bathroom, kitchenette, sink, and appliance hookups. Whether used for extended family, guests, hobbies, creative space, or independent living options, the cottage provides valuable separation and versatility. The uploaded floor plan shows approximately 2,692 sq ft of finished space between the main home, guest cabin, and exterior bathroom. Outside, the property feels private, established, and welcoming, with room to garden, relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the quiet setting. The combination of ocean views, mature landscaping, beach access, and a detached guest cottage makes this a rare opportunity in the Bowser area. Located close to local amenities, trails, golf, marina access, and everything Lighthouse Country is loved for, this is an ideal property for those seeking space, flexibility, and a true Vancouver Island lifestyle.

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.
