Description

This is a very rare find with 67 acres ( 27 hectares) on a private lake shared with only 3 neighbours. It is located in one of British Columbia’s famous super natural settings and surrounded by large holdings . A truly unique, custom designed and built partially log home with deck ( totalling 2500 sq ft.) on all 4 sides. Set on the edge of the forest overlooking a valley and private lake. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, hunting, hiking, skiing, right here.
All rooms look out over the lake or into the forest. Outdoors we have a BBQ- campfire, dock, glass greenhouse, 4 hole golf course, horse paddock with water hydrant. This is like living at your own private holiday resort all year round. You may see deer, moose and other wildlife in the yard throughout the year. Bald Eagles nest here and all kinds of waterfowl and birds visit year round. Sunsets and sunrises are awe inspiring.
The Land
The property has 800 metres ( about 1/2 a mile) of lakefront and is mainly Boreal forest with interspersed meadows and trails.
