Description
Spectacular West-Facing Estate-Sized Building Lot! Just two blocks from the ocean, you’ll find this generously sized and partly cleared .60-acre building lot on a quiet no-thru road—offering the perfect canvas for your dream home. This beautiful property is the last remaining building lot on desirable Johnstone Road and is ideally situated between two of mid-eastern Vancouver Island’s most popular seaside communities—Parksville and Qualicum Beach—just minutes from marinas, golf courses, and lush parks with walking trails. Partly cleared with grassy areas and towering evergreens, this prime parcel of land enjoys a sunny west-facing orientation, perfect for maximizing afternoon and evening light throughout your future home and yard. The lot is zoned RS-1 Residential, providing flexibility to build a beautiful single-family home with room for gardens and outdoor living, and may also allow for accessory structures—such as a detached garage, workshop, or studio. (Potential for subdividing, buyer should check with Regional District). With services to the lot line already in place— including water, electricity, phone and Sewer connection —your building process can begin with ease and efficiency. You're just a short stroll from the Strait of Georgia, where breathtaking views extend past Lasqueti, Texada, and Hornby Islands to the distant, snow-capped peaks of the mainland. You're closet to Eaglecrest Golf Club and French Creek Marina, and all essentials are close at hand, from the vibrant shops and beachside promenade of downtown Parksville to the boutique stores and services of Qualicum Beach’s charming Village Center. You’re also just a short drive from North Nanaimo, home to Woodgrove Centre, Rutherford Crossing, and North Nanaimo Town Centre. If you're ready to build your forever home on a prime piece of Vancouver Island real estate in a first-rate location, this exceptional building lot is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!

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.
