With two outdoor adventure businesses in the area and a lack of accommodation the cabins are in high demand by mountain bikers, hikers and the horse crowd that regularly frequents the area – either in conjunction with a tour guide in the area or for independent travel. An owner could essentially be a busy as they desired and collect some revenue either from afar and use the property on and off for recreation or while living on the property year round. The current owners lived year round in the A frame for about 1.5 years and this is entirely possible.

A beautiful family guest ranch (with commercial zoning) in the scenic Bridge River Valley of southwestern, BC. Bring your ideas!

This character property with a rich history is the ideal location to set up a private recreational retreat, hobby business or perhaps a more serious business model feeding upon the growing number of mountain bikers now joining the snowmobilers, back country skiers and horse crowd frequenting the area either on their own or with a tour group.

Situated on 9.44 acres of mostly flat / gently sloping land this small ranch property contains 3 fully equipped cabins, an a frame house, bunkhouse, wash house, a number of additional outbuildings, 2 fenced corrals, fire pit, garden and stunning mtn views. Backing onto crown land you can easily access the pristine back county on existing trails via bike, horse or on foot.

The current owners have owned the property since 1986 and have used the property as a primary residence, rented out the cabins on and off for 15 years and at one time owned the property with a few friends and used it as a recreational retreat. The ideas and potential enjoyment is endless. The zoning and improvements would allow for an ambitious person to set up a more established campground and small resort.

In terms of subdivision potential please refer to the zoning info below or call the agent for further information and insight.

The Bridge River Valley consists of many small very scenic communities, including Bralorne, Gold Bridge, Gun Creek, Gun Lake, Tyax Lake, and Marshall Lake. The Bridge River Valley's historical claim to fame would be the old gold mines in the valley and each of the communities has its own special part in the history of the valley. Today, prospectors have been replaced by visitors in search of the area's crystal clear lakes for recreation, spectacular views for photography, fresh mountain air, and miles of trails for walking, hiking and cross-country skiing & snow mobiling.

Gun Creek
The small community of Gun creek consists of some year round residents, recreational property owners and a couple outdoor adventure businesses. There are no services in the immediate area with the nearest place being Gold Bridge (15 min away) and professional services – banks, doctors, accounts, etc in Lillooet (1.2 hours)

Gold Bridge
Gold bridge is located in the Bridge River Valley, nestled amongst the towering snow-covered peaks of the Southern Chilcotin Mountains. The Bridge River Valley consists of many small communities, including Bralorne, Gold Bridge, Gun Creek (where this property and business is based), Gun Lake, Tyax Lake, and Marshall Lake.

The outdoor recreational opportunities available here are second to none.

In winter, you would be hard pressed to find a better place for snowmobiling – with consistently dry powder snow and endless backcountry trails to explore. Backcountry skiers and boarders have a few options, guided tours, cat skiing, heli-skiing or ski touring. The area was recently featured in a Matchstick Productions Movie “The Greatest Ski Movie Ever” and the scenery is some of most spectacular in the entire world! Other recreational options include x country skiing, ice fishing, snowshoeing and of course just enjoying the snow capped mountain scenery.

In summer, the area is regularly frequented in growing numbers with mountain bikers and horseback riders. The nearby Spruce Lake Protected area and adjoining trail networks offer some of the most spectacular Alpine riding in all of BC. Visitors come from all over the world to enjoy the trails and mountain scenery. The area is also full of forestry roads and trails for ATV’s, dirt bikes and mountain bikes and you can also stay very active and entertained hiking and bird/wildlife watching.
