Description
Welcome to 7284 Lakefront Drive — an 8 year old turn-key 3 bed, 2 bath rancher tucked into the peaceful Woodland Shores community of Lake Cowichan. Sitting on a sunny, fully fenced corner lot of nearly half an acre, this property stands out for the care and investment poured into its outdoor spaces. The entire yard is enclosed with quality fencing, giving children and pets a safe, contained space to roam freely. The south-facing backyard has been transformed into a private retreat — professionally landscaped with mature planted gardens, a full irrigation system, and a custom-built pond complete with waterfall and river feature that creates a year-round natural oasis. Step outside onto the 400 sq ft screened-in cedar porch and take in lake and mountain views — an outdoor living space you'll never want to leave. Enjoy meals, evenings with friends or quiet mornings all while listening to the waterfall and soaking in the serenity. Inside, natural wood flooring flows through an open-concept living and dining area with a gas fireplace. The kitchen features quartz counters, a large island, gas stove and walk-in pantry. Storage space abounds. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and heated ensuite floors. Heat pump, 4 ft crawl space and over-height double garage complete the package. Beyond your gate, you're steps to the lake, marina and children's park, with direct access to an extensive trail network perfect for hiking, biking and exploring. A boat slip is available from the nearby marina — making lake life truly accessible from day one. Schools and amenities are less than 10 minutes away. Boat slip may be available. Peace, privacy and nature at your doorstep — come see it today.'' (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.
