Description
Residential lot in the Village of Tahsis, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. This region is popular for its easy access to west coast fishing as well as with outdoor recreation enthusiasts. There is a full service marina providing moorage and a public boat launch in the village. Tahsis is accessible by gravel road, along the Tree to Sea Drive from Gold River. This appealing lot sits across the road from the waterfront in Tahsis. It faces east, providing views across the waters of Head Bay to the mountains beyond. The remains of a perimeter foundation and concrete driveway and path to the back of the property are evident on the grassy lot, which has been empty for quite some time. The land is slightly terraced to accommodate the slope, with a low rock wall at the front and back of the lot. Behind the homes along this stretch of road is forested area. This property is walking distance to the marina, restaurant and pub. This provides a great option to moor your boat for the summer just a short walk from your home. The Village of Tahsis has a small but active full-time community, as well as many property owners who regularly visit during the fishing season. It offers restaurants, grocery store, building supply store, a recreational centre, public library, health centre, school, accommodations, and full-service gas station. The community has high-speed internet cable TV service. Anglers can venture out to the Pacific Ocean where fishing is excellent for halibut, flounder, rockfish and lingcod. Crabs, prawns, shrimp, oysters and other seafood are also plentiful. Wildlife abounds! Black bear, wolves, cougars, Roosevelt elk and coastal black-tailed deer are frequent visitors to this area. Guests from around the world marvel at the eagles, sea lions, whales and other marine wildlife that is common in the nearby waters. (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.
