| description: | This fantastic, once in a lifetime offering comprises a miraculously unspoiled 38.6 acre original homestead with a beautiful, solid built stone house - but it gets much better than that. The property is not in the ALR, it is low elevation with excellent sun exposure and there are about 15 acres of level to slightly undulating fertile pasture land all well fenced. It is situated only 8 km from the city of Nelson but it is very private and this privacy is assured by the fact that there is Crown land to the north and east, Nature Conservancy property to the west and Kootenay river to the south. The property is at the end of a public road maintained and serviced by the Department of Highways and the closest neighbour on the road is 1 km away. There is a solid built stone barn with large hayloft and several other farm outbuildings. There are water licenses on two small creeks, a licensed drilled well for irrigation and a domestic well close to the house. The house is tastefully finished with granite countertops, granite and hardwood floors, 3 floors, finished basement, 4 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths. There is a 200 amp electrical service, oil furnace, central AC, central vacuum and Starlink satellite Internet. A large stone addition is currently under construction. The property has been a productive farm for over 100 years with many fruit trees and grape vines as well as pasture land and a good garden. If your dreams include a mansion or even a castle there are several suitable building sites, all with excellent views. |
