 $5,500/month + utilities
 Unfurnished | Medium-longer term preferred A rare opportunity to be the first to live in a beautifully designed, brand-new home in one of Bowen Island’s most peaceful settings. Completed in 2026, this 2,080 sq. ft. three-bedroom home overlooks the Grafton Lake valley and surrounding mountains, with expansive windows bringing natural light and the landscape into the living spaces. Located in The Lakelands, the home is just steps from trails and nature while remaining only minutes from Snug Cove, the ferry, schools, shops and other island amenities. The main floor features a bright, open living and dining area with custom millwork, exposed timber details and a contemporary freestanding Stûv wood stove. The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with Fisher & Paykel appliances, generous counter space and modern custom cabinetry. All three bedrooms are located upstairs. The primary bedroom includes a private ensuite and balcony, while the additional bedrooms work equally well as bedrooms, guest rooms or home-office space. Throughout the home, quality and comfort have been carefully considered, with heated bathroom floors, heat-pump heating and air conditioning, in-home laundry and a two-car garage with EV-ready infrastructure. Additional on-site parking is available. The home is offered unfurnished, allowing tenants to settle in with their own belongings and make the space their own.
