Description
Discover the pinnacle of Vancouver Island living with this exceptional 0.24-acre ocean-view parcel at Butcher Rd. This fully serviced, ready-to-build lot offers a rare opportunity to create your custom home in one of North Nanaimo's most desirable locations. Situated within a private 5-lot subdivision at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, only 2 of the remaining 3 lots are currently available. Two lots are developed with executive homes, creating an established upscale setting while preserving the opportunity to build your dream residence. Enjoy stunning views of the Strait of Georgia and Winchelsea Islands from this gently sloping lot. Bordered by a treed parcel and a road end, it offers privacy, minimal traffic, and excellent potential for expansive ocean views from a multi-level design. Zoned R10, the property allows for a primary residence, secondary suite, and detached carriage house. The lot is exempt from the Steep Slope Development Permit process (buyer to verify), potentially saving time and expense during development. All major services are at the lot line, including city water, sewer, natural gas, and electricity. Generous 40% lot coverage and a 7.32m (24ft) wall height allowance provide flexibility to maximize living space and views. This subdivision was thoughtfully designed. The City required preservation of significant natural areas and rainwater infiltration systems to protect the steep-slope environment. The result is a small executive subdivision with preserved green space, privacy, and a natural forest setting rather than wall-to-wall development. Just minutes from Costco, Woodgrove Centre, schools, beaches, parks, trails, dining, and all major amenities, this property offers the perfect balance of convenience and coastal living. A serviced ocean-view lot in an established executive neighbourhood is increasingly rare. Secure one of the final opportunities in this exclusive subdivision and build your Vancouver Island dream home. (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.
