Description
Rarely does a waterfront setting like this come available. Tucked beneath towering cedars on sought-after Sa-Seen-Os Road in Youbou, this classic A-frame cottage sits just steps from the shores of Lake Cowichan with spectacular panoramic lake and mountain views. The inviting main level features an open living and dining area, cozy wood stove, functional kitchen and large sliding doors that bring the waterfront setting right inside. Upstairs offers additional sleeping space, while a main-level bedroom and full bath make the cottage comfortable for family and guests. Outside is where this property truly shines, with an expansive lakeside patio, level beach area and incredible access to the water for swimming, paddling and boating. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Cowichan waterfront and make memories here for generations. (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.
