Spectacular 108 acre view property with glacier covered peaks of Mt.Thor and Mt. Oden rising from the opposite lakeshore. The property has approximately 2,800 ft of waterfront and is fully treed with very old second growth (at least 100 years). The beautiful and very healthful Halcyon Hotsprings is located just 2 km north, while the charming community of Nakusp is 24 km to the south. The resort community of Revelstoke on Highway 1 is just over an hours drive (including ferry time) to the north along Highway 23. Drinking water is available from various year-round freshwater springs that occur on the property. Electricity, high speed internet and phone lines run along Highway 23 which bisects the property. Good Fishing for rainbow trout, kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) and the yellow fin and Gerrard trout (which grow to over 20 pounds) is nearby.

The property is naturally subdivided by Highway 23 with 21 acres residing west of the highway (and bounded on the west by the Arrow Lakes) and the remainder (87 acres) is east of the highway. The property includes access to Blonden’s Point which was formerly part of the property before the water level in the Arrow Lakes was raised as a consequence of dam construction in the 1960’s. Blonden’s Point could be reacquired for the property in an application to the Province of BC for Beach Rights. The Point is covered by high water during the summer period, but is exposed for at least 8 months during the remainder of the year.

The access road on the northern boundary is clearly visible branching off Highway 23. The access road ends up on the property, but starts on the easement portion of the neighbouring property.
The portion of the lakeside portion of the property closest to the highway has a continuous slope underlain by bedrock. The soil depth increases to a much greater extent where the property flattens out closer to the lakeshore. At the Blonden Point portion of the property there is easy level access to an extensive pebble/boulder beach. When the rock point is exposed, it affords a natural shelter for boats from storms. The Blonden's Point is the only region where a marina could potentially be established for the area.
The remaining 87 acres above the Highway 23 is bounded on the east side by the old Highway 23 that has been abandoned for many years. The two highways are connected by a logging road about 2 km south of the property. The distance along this access road from the main highway to the top of the property is 3.5 km. The connector road was originally constructed by Pope and Talbot (a regional logging company) and has been trenched in one spot to discourage public access, since there is no longer any logging activity in this area. The property is quite steep and levels out at the top in a large bluff which offers a very unique perspective of the whole region. The bluff on the upper portion of the property enables a 140 degree view of the lake and surrounding mountains and is very quiet and secluded. No traffic noise is audible from the highway below. A year round stream runs through this upper portion of the property and could potentially supply water to residences on a gravity feed basis. In addition, subsurface testing may indicate access to hot spring water by drilling. There are 6 natural hot springs within an 8 km radius of this property. Drilling for hot water is a distinct possibility.
Bruce Gunn (250-352-6665) of the Regional District for Central Kootenay indicated the property is zoned R3 - rural residential with 5 acre minimum lot size. Precedent for subdivision has been set by the neighbouring property to the north where the lots ranging from 2.5 acres to 5 acres (prices ranging from $250,000 and up) have sold out.
Asking Price for whole 108 acre parcel: $2.8 million.
Asking Price for the 21 acre portion west of the highway bounded by the Arrow Lakes: $2 million with potential purchasers paying all costs related to the 2 parcel subdivision (about $15,000). |
