The heart of this level is the vast rec room, offering ample space for entertainment and recreation. With room to accommodate a pool table or ping pong setup, the possibilities for enjoyment in this space are endless.

The front of the parcel features roughly an acre of open fertile land, for all of your gardening and homesteading activities, with the remaining 9 acres being forested with mostly Cedar, Larch, Fir and Birch trees.  The habitat of this forest is home to a multitude of foraging plants and fungi including Chanterelle, Pine, Boletes, Russula and even elusive Lobster mushrooms (which there was remnants of the day of listing!) Strategic paths have been created through the property offering easy access as you explore the endless magic of your own back yard.

Speaking of magic, this property also features a unique Artesian well as its water source, which has never left the system high and dry even during the warmest of summer months.  

Lakeview Arrowcreek Road, is a quiet country road, mainly utilized by local traffic.  The lack of busy traffic creates a wonderful opportunity for family walks and bike rides, throughout the peaceful community. 

As a grid-tied home in British Columbia, you’ll enjoy the benefits of self-sustainability, knowing that your energy needs are met while minimizing environmental impact.

Note: Being “grid-tied” in British Columbia means that the property is connected to the electrical grid operated by the local utility company. This allows the property to draw electricity from the grid when needed, such as during periods of high energy consumption or when the property’s renewable energy sources (such as solar panels or wind turbines) are not generating enough power to meet demand. Conversely, excess electricity generated by the property’s renewable energy systems can be fed back into the grid, potentially resulting in credits or compensation from the utility company. In essence, being grid-tied provides a reliable and convenient way to supplement or offset the property’s energy needs with renewable energy sources while maintaining a connection to the broader electrical grid for backup and additional supply when required.

Adding to the charm of this property is the original “homestead” building, currently utilized as a workshop but offering endless possibilities as a studio or boutique. With ample space for storage and a fenced garden area, this property truly offers everything you need for a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle
