Cowichan Lake Homes For Sale with Price Reductions

On This Lake a Cut Usually Means the Season Turned

Then I find out why it did not sell at the first price. Sometimes the answer really is just the price and the calendar. Sometimes it is a well that tested low, a septic field that needs replacing, a road with no maintenance agreement, or a dock with no tenure. Those are all workable if you know about them. They are expensive if you find out after closing.
