Description

3.72 acre property offering privacy, versatility, and room to grow! The main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs, with a partially finished basement already plumbed for future development. A separate 1 bedroom 1 bath home provides excellent flexibility for extended family, or a private guest space. Significantly renovated in 2008, the main home is energy efficient and heated with wood, with ample firewood included. The property is serviced by 200 amp electrical service. All buildings feature durable metal roofs, while the main home is finished with durable Hardieboard siding. The impressive 42' x 50' detached shop, built in 2008, offers outstanding space for multiple vehicles, storage, or workshop projects. Set on a beautifully treed property with fruit trees, berries, grapes, and partially fenced garden space, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy and acreage living just minutes from town.

Amenities

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.
