9 Barich DRIVE
Imagine spending your summer enjoying this rare Katepwa Lake South opportunity, tucked away in a quiet and neighbourly lake community. This cute and inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the kind of lake lifestyle people often find through neighbours, family, or community connections before it ever reaches MLS. Set on a spacious 10,000+ sq. ft. lot facing Crown land, this property offers a peaceful sense of privacy, mature trees, a flat yard, and views of the water from the front living room windows. The location feels quiet and tucked away, while still being part of the kind of neighbourly lake community people love coming back to year after year. While many buyers may choose to use this as a cabin or weekend retreat, this is technically a year-round home, offering the comfort and function needed for full-time living. Inside, it feels warm and welcoming with vaulted ceilings, one exposed beams, a spacious living room, and a wood-burning fireplace that gives it that cozy lake-home feel. The dining area easily fits a full-sized table, making it perfect for hosting family and friends after a day at the lake. The updated kitchen offers an eat-up island, plenty of counter space, and a functional layout that makes the most of the space. With two bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom, this home is clean, comfortable, and ready to enjoy. A crawl space provides valuable extra storage, and the home is supplied by well water. Outside, you’ll love the covered deck, outdoor fireplace, mature setting, and quiet cul-de-sac location in one of Katepwa Lake South’s sought-after pockets. Whether you’re looking for a year-round lake home, a weekend escape, or a summer retreat, this is a rare chance to own in a private, peaceful, and neighbourly lake setting where opportunities like this do not come up often.

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
