Description
This .59-acre cleared building lot in the desirable Cherry Creek area near Port Alberni offers an excellent opportunity to build your dream home. With water, 200-amp hydro, and natural gas already to the property, much of the prep work is done. There is a pre-existing foundation that may have value to a buyer, or the current owner can remove it upon request before completion. The land has a gentle slope near the back, making this an excellent opportunity for multiple styles of building. Either way you decide, you will enjoy stunning views from your future home site. The lot is neighbouring quality new builds, with one already completed and another underway in the future. There is talk of future fencing being installed around this property, making this an ideal location to fit right in with a modern, growing neighbourhood—all just minutes from town, schools, and amenities. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure one of the few available lots in this desirable area. Call or text Dylan Gauthier today! 250-730-4663 (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.
