Date: Dec 4, 2007 15:07:57 PM CST
COME HOME to RENEW your spirit on 155.8 acres and be part of the longest system of continuous wetlands in North America. The Columbia Valley Wetlands stretch 150km, from Spillimacheen BCto Canal Flats BC. A continuous flyway for over 265 species of birds and is home to an incredible assembly of natural habitats. The land and environment value is growing everyday as other places like it disappear.
LOCATION
This very private but easily accessible acreage is located in Brisco, British Columbia, which is 25 minutes north of Radium, B.C., 50 minutes south of Golden, B.C., and approximately three hours west of the Calgary International Airport in Alberta.
NATURE
The 155.8 acre parcel of land borders onto a major wildlife corridor with common sightings of deer, elk, coyotes, black and brown bears and the occasional silver tip grizzly, plus redwing blackbirds, great blue herons, bald eagles, golden eagles, white swans, humming birds, snow geese, Canadian geese, pilated woodpeckers and many varieties of ducks. There are 2 ponds at the front of the property, which are spring fed as well as some of the property combines with the Columbia Valley Wetlands.
The current owners of this property see potential for eco tours for birdwatchers, stargazing and nature lovers. Nature also heals the body emotionally and physically. It’s an experience that one is reluctant to leave. The outdoor cook house which is the focal point of summer living comes equipped with electricity and running water (hot and cold) serving counters, a standup beverage counter, a wonderful log picnic table and a fire pit close by. The ponds have an active brook trout population, which spawn here and may be of interest to the avid fly fisherman. A popular pastime for children is very early morning pajama walks on which they see and hear many of natures’ treasures.
There are pristine alpine lakes within 10 kms of the property which offer excellent fishing, hiking and more. Bugaboos Heli Skiing operated by Canadian Holiday Tours is to the west of the property. This magical acreage is blessed with ample water including Dunant Creek running through and offers five natural springs on the property, as well as two water licenses for irrigation of pastures and hay fields. If you are interested in backcountry riding, etc. there are many acres of Crown land that the property backs onto, where this is possible.
