Description
Move in ready and fully off grid, this all-season cabin has been thoughtfully expanded and upgraded by the current owners between 2022–2025 for comfortable full time living and retirement. A brand new 16’x20’ addition completed in 2025 doubles the living and dining space, featuring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, fully insulated walls, durable metal roofing, locally sourced Douglas Fir treated with LifeTime for longevity, and a new deck with sunset views over Naylor Bay. The striking exterior siding was milled on site and finished using the traditional Japanese Yakisugi burnt wood technique for enhanced durability and timeless appeal. Final interior finishing in the new living room has been left open for the next owner’s personal touch. The original handcrafted cabin has also been extensively upgraded with a new pressurized plumbing system, filtered rainwater through a 6-stage reverse osmosis system, indoor and outdoor showers, propane hot water and stove top, plus an expanded solar system with 1140aH battery capacity, 1400W solar panels, and generator backup. The electrical system comfortably supports 120V lighting and appliances including refrigeration, laundry, office equipment, and entertainment systems. A newly built 10’x20’ shop offers excellent storage, workshop space, ATV access, and potential for guest accommodation or extra bedrooms. The property also features 10,000L rainwater storage for household use, additional garden storage, a roughed-in pond system, hoop house, and chicken coop. Extras include 5G cell reception, Starlink availability for remote work, a 12’ tender boat, and a dedicated mooring in Naylor Bay. All data and measurements to be verified if important. Measurements from Matterport and BC Assesment. (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.
