Description
Some properties are more than dirt and boundary lines — they're a beginning. At 8948 Hampshire Crescent, tucked into Vernon's coveted Adventure Bay, a rare flat 0.27-acre lot waits for someone ready to build a life around a view like this one. Most homesites on this hillside demand retaining walls and engineered foundations just to level the ground beneath them. This one doesn't. It's already flat, already facing the shimmering blue expanse of Okanagan Lake, already surrounded by architect-designed homes that chose this street for exactly the reason you're reading this today. Picture your first morning here: coffee in hand, mist rising off the water, the hills across the lake slowly catching the light. Picture evenings on a deck that doesn't exist yet, watching the sun sink behind the mountains while the lights of Sparkling Hill begin to twinkle on the far shore. This is a canvas, not a compromise — a paved, curbed street with sidewalks and lighting already in place, and a flat, buildable pad that means more of your budget goes into the home you love, not the ground it sits on. Close to golf, wineries, beaches, and everything the Okanagan lifestyle promises, homesites like this rarely stay available for long. (id:63159)

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.
