A massive lakeside property in Northern B.C. could turn heads if only for just how little it costs — especially when you consider how much land it comes with.

The off-grid retreat is located on Cariboo Lake in the Cariboo Chilcotin Region of B.C. and it includes a two-story home, plus two additional cabins.

The property is currently listed at $749,000, which is a heck of a lot cheaper than the average townhouse in Metro Vancouver, which currently sits at $1,012,700, according to WOWA.

If that wasn't enough to sell you on it, the property also comes with workshops, chicken coops, an outdoor grilling area, a barn and an additional small sleeping room.

It also has more than 18 acres of land, which means lots of space for you to set up your very own garden or plant your own fruit trees.

The inside of the main home is a bit retro, but it does have some great lake views from the dining area to make up for it.

The property's situated right by a lake, so you could pick up a kayak and enjoy the water at your leisure.

Not to mention, Cariboo Lake is also great for fishing, according to the listing.
