APPRAISAL REPORT   

The subject is a newer modular home located on the subject property some ten years ago when it was five years old. The dwelling is well located at the driveways edge some 100 feet from the road frontage on the south easterly end of Gun Lake in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, approximately 10 km from Goldbridge.

This prime waterfront site contains an extensive frontage with the pointed pie shaped parcel. The site has been left open with grassy areas predominating, all of which has been nurtured along to provide some six principal activity areas on the site including a driveway and parking area, the home site, a camping/camper site, a beach area, a dock area with lawn at the edge, and a fire pit and sitting area.

The lot size has been obtained from BC Assessment Authority records and is assumed to be correct at 2.15 acres. The site appears to be bisected with a common road allowance of approximately 0.30 acres. This portion is not missed by the ample space created on the open site.

The dwelling is a single storey full basement dwelling containing five rooms consisting of a small entry area, living room with a wood burning fireplace, a spacious kitchen with built-in range, wall oven, refrigerator, microwave, and a garburator, a laundry area in the hall way, two bedrooms with a four piece (toilet, basin, shower stall, and bathtub) ensuite bathroom and a four piece main bathroom.

The full basement has been constructed of preserved wood foundations, all of which are placed on gravel compacted and placed in order with preserved wood foundation building standards. Presently a four piece bathroom is constructed along with a wet bar. The whole of the basement has been frame/partitioned into four rooms consisting of a large family room, two bedrooms, a storage room and bathroom. A porch surrounds the basement above on two sides, one of which provides enclosed storage. Access to the basement is via an enclosed staircase and mud room above.

Other features of this property include a beach area with a small dock, a wooden sitting area, an in-ground barbecue pit with surround sitting area, ample lawn area, wrap around sundeck and covered porch with mud room on the main dwelling and a double garage with adjacent (wired/heated) workshop area, gravel driveways and parking areas, several retained levelled areas as well as a side grade level sundeck.

Overall the buildings are well constructed to a standard modular home style of construction. The dwelling is well maintained and is in marketable condition.

The main dwelling has the optimum viewpoint on the property with views to 270 degrees. Panoramic mountain views are provided to the south and north east with water views in between. The site has been well developed with the activity areas and an emphasis on relaxation. All yard areas are clean of brush, scrub grass and are either planted with lawn, clover or some form of natural vegetation. The beach areas are clean and appear well but naturally developed.

This region is relatively rural being approximately 110 km from the nearest major area (Lillooet) via all weather roads or the same distance from Pemberton via a road open for all but some winter months.

The immediate area is developed with a variety of seasonal cabins as well as permanent residences, but the area is occupied for the most part with recreational dwellers and tourist traffic.
