Description
This custom-built 1967 home was thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the property's stunning views and exceptional setting. Whether you choose to renovate, redecorate or build your dream home, this is a truly unique estate property offering endless possibilities. Set on a private 1.27-acre panhandle lot in sought-after Cordova Bay, it combines ocean views, outstanding privacy and an unbeatable location just a short walk to the beach, McMinn Park and Broadmead. Properties like this are exceptionally rare. Perched on a gently sloping site, the main residence offers over 2,300 sq.ft. on the main level with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and spacious living, dining and kitchen areas designed to frame sweeping views toward Mt. Baker. The 1,600 sq.ft. lower level includes an in-law suite with a separate entrance plus a large rec room for the main home. A hobbyist's dream, the property features a double garage with an attached garden room, a large detached workshop on the former horse paddock, abundant storage throughout, and a separate 1-bedroom guest cottage tucked privately among the beautiful treed upper portion of the property. Multiple accessory buildings provide excellent opportunities for a home-based business, studio, workshop or private office. Outdoor enthusiasts and gardeners will appreciate the established garden areas, greenhouse, mature trees and peaceful natural surroundings, creating a private retreat unlike any other. There's even a fenced tennis or sport court, while the expansive grounds still leave ample space to further customize the property to suit your lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a private acreage where you can enjoy the existing improvements, create your ideal family estate, or design and build your forever home in one of Victoria's most desirable neighbourhoods.

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.

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.
