Description
Brand New Rancher — The Slopes at Lake Cowichan - This 1,615 sq ft 3-bedroom rancher delivers modern single-level living in one of Vancouver Island's most beloved lake communities. Thoughtfully laid out, the open-concept great room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, with a generous walk-in pantry and large windows bringing in abundant natural light. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and private ensuite, while two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed main bath and a powder room serves guests with ease. A dedicated mudroom entry connects to the oversized double garage, keeping the everyday organized and out of sight. Outside, the bold mono-pitch roofline and striking mixed siding give this home a contemporary edge that stands out in the neighbourhood. Built new and move-in ready, this is a rare chance to be the first owner in a growing community where lake life and modern comfort come together. (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.
