Description
Amazing recreational property on beautiful Chisel Lake in the North Cariboo region near Bowron Lakes Provincial Park. This unique & scenic property is the ONLY property on the Lake; a naturally stocked lake (1.1 kms long) with an abundance of Rainbows. Cabin sits on 2.94 mostly cleared acres & within it you will find a charming interior with a small kitchen with wood cookstove, living room, bedroom, sun deck & lakeside deck (recently covered) where you can cast your rod right out into the lake. Updates in past few years ... replaced both front windows, boat launch added, sanded and painted exterior, covered the front deck, added a wash station by creek/ fridge! Access to the property is via a seasonal 10 km stretch of forest service road. Great snowmobiling! (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.
