Description
Nearly an acre on the Somass River with private access, and the freedom to launch a paddleboard or kayak from your own yard - all within Port Alberni city limits. This 0.94 acre riverfront property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, character, and everyday convenience, with a gorgeous home set among mature landscaping and sweeping views of the water. From the moment you arrive, it feels remarkably removed from the pace of town. Inside, the home has a character all its own. The open oak kitchen and dining area features 11’ vaulted ceilings, custom stained glass windows, and a walkout to the two-tiered deck overlooking the river. It’s an easy place to gather, dine outside, or simply watch the water move past. The main level continues with a massive living room featuring wood floors and a wood stove with stone surround, plus three bedrooms, a full bathroom, family room, and laundry room. Downstairs, the primary bedroom offers 10’ ceilings, a huge walk-in closet, and a statement clawfoot soaker tub. A 3-piece bathroom with outdoor access is especially practical after a day on the river, while abundant storage, an attached single garage, separate indoor workshop with high ceilings, and a wood-burning furnace add versatility. The grounds are equally memorable, with apples, cherries, pears, and figs growing throughout the established landscaping. An underground pet fence adds peace of mind. At the river’s edge, your private access becomes the starting point for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or heading toward the Alberni Inlet and Barkley Sound. Whether the day starts with coffee on the deck or ends beside the water, the river becomes part of the rhythm of life here. Paper Mill Dam Park, Riverbend Cafe, and Naesgaard’s Farm Market are all just steps from home, and shopping, restaurants, schools, trails, and amenities are all close by. Reach out any time to arrange your private viewing. (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.
