Description
Some properties are bought and sold. Others are simply cared for, for a time. 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 for years, the property has seen significant investment in infrastructure, including an extensive road network, power, septic, and water distribution, creating an exceptional foundation for its next chapter. Explore over 5 km of private walking 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 fully equipped wood milling operation, workshop, tractor, and equipment. The fully fenced ½-acre organic garden features a 30’ powered greenhouse, 13,000L underground water storage, irrigation, productive garden beds, and a pergola draped in kiwi vines and jasmine. Whether you envision a private estate, hobby farm, eco-retreat, artist’s haven, or simply a quieter life immersed in nature, Aayana offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of an exceptional property.

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.
