Beaverdell, without any zoning restrictions, presents a rare opportunity to unleash your creativity and vision on this versatile 23.8-acre property.
Easily accessible and positioned on a sunny west facing slope just south of the township, this property sits along Highway 33, a well appreciated top tourist route that meanders east and southward from Kelowna through valleys, rivers and mountains. Route destinations include Big White Alpine Resort, the Kettle Valley Rail Trail (with access at Beaverdell and Myra Canyon), Idabel and Hydraulic Lakes, and the Kettle River and Provincial Park to Rock Creek. This corridor provides excellent exposure for any business model.
Twenty-one serviced RV sites include water and power. Each angled site is tastefully landscaped and separated with a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.
The two-storey structure is completed to lockup (minus windows). Original plans envisioned a reception area, restaurant, gift shop, office areas and washrooms. There is potential to convert the structure into a residence. The upper floor is framed where structurally necessary, allowing future plans to be added or modified. Large framed out window openings facing westward will allow plenty of sunlight to bathe the interior. Building plans were approved and constructed to meet building codes and engineering requirements.
The metal gable roofline is accented with two large dormers. A drive through overhang and port roof could be a functional complement to the building's overall roadside appeal.
A small completed tiny home beside the main structure has two entry points. The front deck entrance leads directly into a central area with a surrounding sitting and eating area, kitchen, bathroom, bed and stairway to a private overhead loft with a sleeping area. An additional large room provides storage and exits onto another small deck. The front deck is a comfortable size to barbecue and lounge outdoors.
Property services include a highly productive well and 1400 amp power designed to support all structures including any future additions. This area of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is currently not zoned, providing the flexibility for a new vision or completion of the current model. Ideas could include agricultural pursuits, a hobby farm, repurposing the main building into a single-family dwelling, a duplex or townhome, additional cabins, or a recreational or industrial pursuit. The upper sloped areas are road accessible, providing sweeping views of the Kettle River, Rail Trail, mountains and valley vistas.
5550 Highway 33 - Beaverdell, BC
Drive south from Beaverdell for 2.8 km (3 minutes), turn left onto the property.
The quiet community of Beaverdell lies within Boundary Country, stretching along BC's southern edge in the Thompson-Okanagan Region between Osoyoos and the Kootenay Rockies. Access to this small settlement is via Highway 33 from Kelowna or the scenic Crowsnest Highway 3 from Vancouver and Calgary.
Beaverdell, surrounded by Crown land, offers four season access to trails, rivers and outdoor recreation. This prime location provides a natural basecamp for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing, and rustic backcountry camping. Trails wind through forested terrain and historic routes once travelled by stagecoach.
Seasonal food trucks and restaurants offer plenty of options to satisfy the appetite, from ice cream and pizza to gourmet breakfast and coffee. Combined with the general store, fuel station and overnight options, Beaverdell provides a convenient stop for refreshing, resting and refueling. This small community is further serviced with an elementary K-3 school, fairgrounds, waste transfer station and a fire department.
The landscape surrounding Beaverdell and the Highway 33 corridor reflects the rich diversity of BC's Southern Interior. The property sits within a transition zone where the semi-arid valleys of the Okanagan give way to the wetter, forested terrain of the Boundary and Kootenay regions.
The west facing slope is dominated by open stands of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, with scattered interior spruce appearing at higher elevations. The sunny aspect encourages a diverse understory of native shrubs including saskatoon berry, chokecherry, rose, and snowberry, which provide valuable habitat for birds and wildlife throughout the seasons.
Grasses and wildflowers flourish across the open sections of the acreage, transitioning into denser mixed forest on the upper slopes. Along the lower areas and road corridor, trembling aspen and birch add seasonal colour, their leaves turning brilliant gold in autumn.
The varied vegetation across the property contributes to its natural beauty and visual appeal year-round, providing a welcoming and well screened setting for the existing RV sites and structures.
Year-round activity beckons in Boundary Country with a smorgasbord of options. From laid back rivers and lakes to fish and float, technical mountain trails to bike and hike, this wildly varied region will fill the thirst for adventure and leave the spirit refreshed.
Crack out the ATV, e-bike, or snowmobile on over 1,400 kilometres of trails in surrounding mountains Big White, Baldy and Phoenix. This altitude playground entices all disciplines of skiers and boarders, tubers and snowshoers and, if more your style, hikers, campers and nature enthusiasts.
Roam free from the shores of Christina Lake to the peaks of Granby and Boundary Country's parks. Extensive connected trails provide for leisurely strolls, challenging hikes and wilderness campouts.
Most worthy of special mention, the iconic Trans Canada Trail along the Kettle Valley and Columbia and Western Rail Trail further fits the bill for exploring this vast countryside.
With plenty of water sports options, strap on a wakeboard, grab a paddle or find a restful sandy beach on Christina, Jewel, Idabel and Hydraulic Lakes. Cast a fishing line or take a leisurely float down the Kettle River.
Golfers can swing a club at the 18-hole championship Christina Golf Club, the Cascade Par 3 Club complete with a glow in the dark nighttime option, or alongside the ambling Kettle River Golf Course.
Boundary Country is shaped by its Indigenous heritage, mining roots, and pioneer settlers. Its location and beauty foster a vibrancy that celebrates its history, the arts and strong community connections to the land.
The Beaverdell area has long been recognized for its mineral wealth. The Beaverdell Mine, one of the highest grade silver mines in Canada, operated intermittently throughout the 20th century and played a defining role in shaping the character of this small community. Rich with natural resources and fertile ranch and farmland, farmers, ranchers, prospectors and pioneers made their way here, some drawn by the land and others by stories of silver and gold. They left a legacy of historical, cultural and heritage experiences that continue to define the region today.
Highway 33, which passes directly in front of this property, has served as a vital corridor through the southern interior for generations, connecting communities, resource industries and travellers between Kelowna and the Kootenays.
