This exceptional 8,200 sq ft fully serviced lot in Stage 4 of The Slopes at Lake Cowichan offers spectacular mountain and valley views, a great building base, and greenspace at the rear. Better yet, it comes with fully engineered, permit-ready plans for a 1,900 sq ft rancher, complete with an oversized double garage and 12-foot-wide driveway with room for your RV, boat or trailer. The geotechnical work and site surveys are complete, the downslope retaining wall is already constructed, and city water, sewer, underground power and fibre are at the lot. Even the GST has been paid! An introduction to a local builder is available as well. Imagine summer mornings at the lake, afternoons exploring nearby trails, and coming home to your own garden overlooking the surrounding hills. Lake Cowichan’s town centre is less than five minutes away, Duncan is under 20 minutes, and Port Renfrew is an easy trip for a day of fishing or adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of a quieter retirement, a place to raise your family, or simply a home designed around the way you actually live, this is an opportunity to build something uniquely yours, with many of the difficult first steps already behind you.
