Description
Some properties are bought and sold. Others are simply cared for until it's time to pass them on. Welcome to Aayana, a remarkable 33.5 acre private sanctuary on beautiful Pender Island where forests, meadows, wetlands, and abundant wildlife create an extraordinary sense of peace. Lovingly stewarded, the property features extensive infrastructure including a road network, power, septic, and water distribution, creating an exceptional foundation for its next chapter. Explore over 5 km of private trails, unwind in the handcrafted sauna retreat with a traditional Finnish sauna, cold plunge, and indoor/outdoor showers, or embrace self-sufficient living with a wood milling operation, workshop, tractor, and equipment. A fully fenced ½-acre organic garden with a powered greenhouse completes this extraordinary offering. Whether you envision a private estate, hobby farm, eco-retreat, or a quieter life immersed in nature, Aayana is a rare opportunity to embrace a life more connected to nature. (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.
