160 acres of south-facing land with sweeping big sky and mountain views in the heart of the West Kootenays, just minutes from the Nelway US border crossing. This private acreage carries year round character with three unnamed springs and Eldorado Creek running through it, the creek forming a pretty pond. A network of internal roads branches through the property to several large, already prepared building sites, each a ready canvas for a home, hobby farm, or off grid recreational retreat. Zoned Remote Residential (R4), the land offers real flexibility for residential development, agriculture, or both. Access runs in under the power line right of way and the property is easily reached by AWD or 4x4. Bordered by thousands of acres of untouched Crown forestry land, it opens straight onto a vast backyard for ATV riding, sledding, and hunting, in a corner of the Kootenays known for its game, from deer and elk to moose, bears, and wild turkeys. One of the sunnier, milder pockets of the region, with long growing seasons and manageable winters. (id:62865)
