On rural acreage, few things matter more than water, and this property has it in abundance. Set on 10.44 meticulously maintained acres in the heart of the Nicola Valley's ranching country, this fully fenced and gated property pairs a very strong, high-volume water source with outstanding spring water quality. The pump and equipment are brand new, and a Water License is already in place. It's the kind of water supply that buyers search for and rarely find. It gives you confidence for the household and the livestock, and freedom to make the most of the land. Add privacy, gorgeous views, direct access to Crown land, and a location just 15 minutes from Merritt or Logan Lake, and you have a truly special country property.
Your arrival sets the tone. A long, winding driveway lined with new rail fencing leads you away from the road and into your own private world, with open landscape and natural surroundings in every direction. The well laid-out 3-bedroom, 3 bath, 3,000 sq. ft. two-storey home with basement sits comfortably on the land and welcomes you with a covered porch. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or for watching the evening light settle over the hills.
The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features new stainless-steel appliances and is open to the family room. Large windows and patio doors there take in the view and lead out to the back deck, so indoor and outdoor living flow together naturally. The dining room is surrounded by bay windows that bring the natural landscape right to your table, making it a beautiful setting for holiday dinners and gatherings with friends. It opens to a comfortable living room with elegant French doors to the foyer, and an updated half bath completes the level.
Upstairs, you'll find a quiet retreat at the end of the day. The large primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a private en suite. Two spacious guest bedrooms are filled with natural light from their large windows, and a generous main bathroom serves them.
The basement offers exciting potential. Large daylight windows keep the space bright, and a separate entrance provides privacy and flexibility. The space is already plumbed for a bathroom and a second kitchen. It could become a self-contained suite for extended family or a mortgage helper, a media or games room, additional bedrooms, or a home office or hobby space. Many major updates have already been completed, including a new roof and new stainless steel appliances. A dual furnace offers electric or wood-burning forced air for flexible, efficient heating through every season, and a water softener rounds out the home's comforts.
For horse owners, this property is ready for you to move in and ride. A riding arena gives you a dedicated space for schooling and everyday riding. Corrals and a horse shelter provide for your animals, and a tack room, hay and equipment storage, and an additional storage room keep everything organized. A 22 x 28 ft shop offers room for equipment, tools and projects. Frost-free taps make winter chores far easier, and metal roofs on all of the outbuildings mean durability and low maintenance for years to come. The property is completely fenced and gated, and the yard is also fenced for dogs. Best of all, the land backs directly onto Crown land, with riding trails everywhere. You can saddle up at home and head straight into open country without ever loading a trailer. Combined with the property's abundant, high-quality water, it's a setup that's hard to match.
The sellers have also just completed a brand-new 400 sq. ft. seasonal cabin. It's turnkey and comes with all furniture and interior accessories. The cabin is ideal for short-term rental income or for hosting family and friends in their own private space. Ample parking and an RV sani-dump make it easy to welcome guests who arrive with RVs.
The property offers true privacy without isolation. Merritt and Logan Lake are each about 15 minutes away for groceries, services, schools and amenities. The Left Field Cider House is just 5 minutes down the road, and Kamloops is about 45 minutes away for city shopping, dining, healthcare and the airport. You'll be part of a welcoming rural community, surrounded by a region known for its ranching heritage, open grasslands, lakes and outdoor recreation.
Whether you're dreaming of a horse property, a hobby farm, a family retreat, or simply a peaceful place to slow down, this is a really nice acreage. It has a comfortable home, a fully equipped equestrian setup, income potential, direct access to Crown land, and the exceptional water supply that makes it all possible.

5809 Beech Road - Rural Merritt, BC
From Merritt, head west out of Merritt on Highway 8. Turn right onto BC-97C (Mamit Lake Road). Continue following Mamit Lake Road as it heads north. Turn left onto Beech Road. 5809 Beech Road is the first driveway on the left.
This is country living the way it was meant to be. The property sits along the Mamit Lake Road (Highway 97C) in the beautiful Guichon Creek valley, between Merritt and Logan Lake. It's a landscape of rolling grasslands, timbered hillsides, quiet lakes and big open skies, shaped by generations of ranching families. Here, the pace slows down, the air is clean, the nights are dark and full of stars, and the outdoors is your backyard.
The real magic of this area is the land itself. Vast stretches of Crown land surround the valley, opening up endless trails and back roads to explore on horseback, on foot or by ATV. Riders can saddle up at home and head straight into open country, following trails that wind through grassland, forest and high ridges for as far as you care to go. For hunters, it's a true backcountry playground, with deer, moose and other game roaming the hills and draws that stretch out from the property. Guichon Creek winds through the valley, adding to the natural beauty and drawing in wildlife throughout the year. Whether it's an early-morning ride, a fall hunt, a day casting on Mamit Lake, or simply a quiet evening watching the deer graze at the edge of the trees, this is a lifestyle many people only dream about.
For all its privacy and wide-open space, the property is far from isolated. About 15 minutes away, Merritt offers groceries, shopping, restaurants, schools, a hospital and everyday services. Known as the Country Music Capital of Canada, the town is surrounded by dozens of fishing lakes and has quick access to the Coquihalla Highway, so the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland are within easy reach. In the other direction, also about 15 minutes away, Logan Lake is a friendly mountain town with a well-regarded golf course, a recreation centre, and an extensive trail network for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing. Nearby Tunkwa Provincial Park is a local favourite for fishing, camping and paddling. When you need the city, Kamloops is about 45 minutes away, with major shopping, dining, healthcare, a university and an airport.
Ride, hunt, fish, explore, or simply sit on the porch and take it all in. This is a place where every day can feel like an adventure, and every evening feels like coming home.
The land around this property shows the classic beauty of BC's southern interior, where open grassland meets forest and the scenery shifts with every season. The valley and surrounding hillsides are a mix of rolling bunchgrass meadows, scattered stands of Douglas fir and pine, and groves of trembling aspen. This blend of open country and timber gives the area its sweeping views and its sense of space.
Native bunchgrasses cover the open slopes and turn soft gold in late summer and fall, the same grasslands that have supported cattle ranching here for generations. Sagebrush adds its silvery colour and fresh scent to the drier, sunnier slopes. Higher up and on the cooler north-facing hillsides, the forest thickens with Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, providing shade, shelter and plenty of cover for wildlife.
Along Guichon Creek and the area's wetter draws, the vegetation becomes lush and green. Willows, cottonwoods and dense shrubs line the water, creating natural corridors where deer, moose, birds and other wildlife come to feed and drink. Groves of aspen are especially striking. Their leaves flicker silver-green in the summer breeze and turn brilliant gold each fall.
Spring brings a burst of colour. Wildflowers spread across the hillsides, including the bright yellow arrowleaf balsamroot that the BC interior is known for. Wild roses, Saskatoon berries and other native shrubs bloom along the trails and fence lines, and by summer the berry bushes draw in birds and wildlife. Each season offers something new, from spring wildflowers and lush summer green to golden fall colour and quiet, snow-covered winter landscapes.
For people who love the outdoors, this acreage is more than a home. It's a launching point for year-round adventure. The property backs directly onto Crown land, so a whole world of recreation begins right at your back gate. There's no need to load a trailer or drive to a trailhead. You can simply saddle up, fire up the quad or lace up your boots and go.
Riders will find endless options. Trails and old ranch roads wind out from the property through open grasslands, aspen groves and timbered hillsides, with room to ride for an hour or an entire day. You can condition your horse on the hills, explore new country with friends, and come home to the riding arena, corrals and tack room just steps from the house. ATV and side-by-side owners enjoy the same freedom, with independent access to a vast network of backcountry trails and forest service roads that crisscross the surrounding hills. Hunters will appreciate heading out on foot or by quad straight from home into prime country for deer, moose and other game. Hikers, mountain bikers, wildlife watchers and photographers will find no shortage of places to explore, with Guichon Creek and Mamit Lake close by for fishing and quiet moments by the water.
Beyond the property, the area is home to some of the most active outdoor recreation communities in the BC interior. In Logan Lake, about 15 minutes away, the Logan Lake ATV Club helps maintain and promote a trail system that stretches for hundreds of kilometres around town. It's an expanding network of multi-use routes with campsites, lean-tos and other amenities for longer backcountry trips. The town's well-known May long weekend ride draws both horse and ATV riders. In winter, the old logging and mining roads around Logan Lake become a snowmobiler's playground, with marked trails and open terrain for riders of every skill level.
In Merritt, also about 15 minutes away, the Merritt Snowmobile Club is one of the region's standout clubs. It maintains more than 300 km of trails across four riding areas, including the popular Thynne Mountain and Honeymoon areas, with six warming shelters along the way. Riders can find everything from groomed, family-friendly trails to challenging high-alpine terrain, and the club's GPS-tracked grooming and trail webcams help you plan the perfect day out. For summer riding, the Nicola Valley ATV Club and the Nicola Valley Dirt Riders Association are active in the Merritt area, adding even more trails, group rides and community events to enjoy.
Whether it's horseback rides through the spring wildflowers, summer quad trips into the hills, a fall hunt, or a winter day sledding the backcountry, this property puts four seasons of recreation within easy reach. Just as importantly, it gives you a private place to come home to at the end of the day.
