The wild and beautiful Salmo River crosses the west end of the property.

The property: 43.9 acres of flat land and about 20 acres of it has been fenced to an 8' height.Â The soil is old river bottom and has excellent drainage.Â There are about 12 acres of land cleared for productive use and the rest is a natural forest of large native trees. The wild and beautiful Salmo River crosses the west end of the property. The drinking water is unsurpassed and could be bottled for sale.

This property is in the Kootenays, one of the last unspoiled areas in British Columbia. It is ten miles from the international border between British Columbia and Washington State, . It can be developed as a high end hotel/spa right near the river, or a golf course, or an RV park. Or it can be farmed, if that's the desire. There is an extensive irrigation system (which waters most of the cleared land) already in place and lots of water. It's a five minute drive to Salmo, where groceries, pharmacy and hardware stores await you. Education needs from kindergarden to highschool are met in Salmo also.Â

The home is a "welcoming" home - very open, with lots of windows and was built in 1996. It has nearly 2500 on one level with an attached two car garage, and a 3' concrete crawl space under the entire house . It's heated with natural gas.Â Â

There are seven large outbuildings - all of them are clad in ivory/cream colored metal, with metal roofs and concrete foundations. They are insulated and the inside walls are sheeted with either plywood or drywall, depending on their use.Â

The landscaping is extraordinary! You are greeted to the property by a custom made metal gate flanked by beautifully built stone pillars equipped with automatic lighting. About one acre is devoted to lawn and flower beds. Huge fir, spruce and cedar trees have been incorporated into the park-like design. A large pond 20'x32' and 4' deep at the "deep end" has over 70 water lilies flowering in it. Various areas of the yard reflect the intent of the garden's design. There is a secluded serenity garden, an oriental garden, and a large firepit.Â There is a separate rose garden, but more than 200 rose bushes bloom all season in the gardens. There are hundreds of flowers and shrubs planted in easy to care for spaces. A quarried fieldstone patio with a 6'x12' pool with statuary connects the verandah to a large oval flower bed at the front of the house. Nearly all of the flower beds/park area have been covered with professional grade weed barrier and then topped with a wood chip mulch. This keeps the weeds down to nothing and holds moisture in the soil â€“ making the upkeep very simple.Â Eleven water valves rise from under the flower beds or lawn to facilitate watering.

This is a spectacular area to live in. There is good skiing just five minutes from the home, and world class skiing within a 40 minute drive (Red Mountain in Rossland, Whitewater near Nelson). There is fishing, hiking, hunting, kayaking and incredible warm sunny summers. The winter is mild (usually just below freezing). Summer nights are pleasantly cool so there's no need for air conditioning. You're only a half hour drive from three different cities - Nelson, Castlegar and Trail but you have the privacy and quiet of country living. It doesn't get much better than this.
Take a look around, get the "feel" of the place....
