Description
Orca Lodge is a 2109 ft.² waterfront five star vacation rental in Sointula on Malcolm Island. A short BC ferry ride from Port Mcneill. Great salmon, halibut and crab fishing right out front. From your Deck overlooking the water you can view orcas, porpoises, seals and eagles as well as gorgeous sunsets. The lodge is on a government 10 year foreshore lease that was just renewed in March 2024 at a cost of just over $1900.00 per year and is approved for an addition and retaining wall. There is also a small fee simple lot used for parking. As absentee owners the units are rented out through Expedia and Booking.com with a local housekeeper that looks after the rooms. Great for a vacation rental or you could live in one unit and rent out the other two. You can find out more information on our website orcalodge.ca or look us up on Facebook. (id:63159)

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.
