This three-parcel offering comprises 479.75 acres of remote and largely undeveloped land in the Topley area of northern British Columbia. There is reported merchantable timber together with large stands approaching merchantability, estimated by the seller at approximately 3,500 m3. The holding also includes significant wildlife habitat, Bulkley River frontage, a hay field, an S6 stream, and elevated areas with potential building-site appeal.
The southwest quarter of District Lot 3312 includes Bulkley River frontage, a hay field on the lower ground, and higher benches overlooking the surrounding landscape. The southeast quarter contains a large wetland identified as prime moose habitat. District Lot 6594 is crossed by an S6 stream and lies within approximately 120 metres of an all-season road.
Fair-weather roads and trails provide seasonal access from approximately early summer through mid-fall. An all-season road comes within approximately 1.3 kilometres of the southeast quarter of District Lot 3312. The titles also include registered easement rights over District Lots 200 and 3313; however, practical use of the route through District Lot 200 would require a bridge crossing over the Bulkley River as well as side channels. All three parcels are within the Agricultural Land Reserve and are designated Agriculture under the Houston, Topley and Granisle Rural Official Community Plan. Wildlife reported on the land includes moose, bears, deer, grouse and coyotes. This is a substantial northern BC land holding suited to buyers who understand remote access and are interested in timber, agriculture, wildlife habitat.

Houston provides grocery stores, fuel, building supplies, professional services and other day-to-day amenities. The community sits on the Bulkley River and serves as an important service centre for the surrounding rural and resource lands.
Farther west, Smithers is the principal regional service centre for the Bulkley Valley, offering broader retail, medical, professional, transportation and government services. The community is also a year-round recreation hub, with access to Hudson Bay Mountain and the surrounding backcountry.
The lands are predominantly forested, with seller-reported merchantable timber and substantial stands approaching merchantability. The seller estimates approximately 3,500 m3 of soon-to-be-merchantable timber.

The Houston-Topley area has long been shaped by forestry, agriculture, transportation and the Bulkley River.
