Description
Arbutus Ridge is quickly becoming the place to be if you love contemporary architecture in a stunning setting of tall Douglas Firs & rocky outcrops. This 1.0 acre building lot is in its natural state which allows you to keep as many trees as you want for privacy, or thin them out to let in some more light - you choose. Currently, the property has beautiful filtered light all day long. Sunsets create vignettes that beg to be subjects of paintings. The terrain is gently sloping with a prominent rock bluff at the SE corner. A SHARED SEPTIC FIELD is already installed on a nearby property with connection at the lot line. Walk to King Edward Bay Beach in about 10 minutes, where 2 private mooring buoys await (included). Forest bathe for hours with hiking with trails at your doorstep. (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.
