There are properties. And then there are places that redefine what ownership means. This is one of those places. Situated on the north shore of Ootsa Lake—one of British Columbia's most magnificent and unspoiled bodies of water—this extraordinary holding offers something that simply doesn't exist anywhere else in Northern BC: two distinct worlds on one title, separated by a shimmering private bay, with Tweedsmuir Provincial Park framed perfectly on the southern horizon.
The original parcel traced 265 acres along this shoreline. When the Kenney Dam created the Nechako Reservoir in 1952, the rising waters carved out a private bay that now separates two remarkable parcels, each with its own character and purpose. What the water took in acreage, it returned tenfold in shoreline—over 3,100 feet of it—and in the kind of seclusion that money simply cannot manufacture.
Year-round paved access from Southbank. Power, phone, two older homes, a garage and outbuildings awaiting renovation. Your own private boat launch. This is your basecamp—your connection to the modern world, on your terms.
One minute by boat across your private bay and you've crossed into a different world entirely. No roads. No power lines. Just a gorgeous sandy beach, a beautiful aspen forest, and a large open pasture. Accessible only by boat or floatplane—and that inaccessibility is precisely what makes it priceless.
Facing due south across the lake, the property looks directly toward Tweedsmuir Provincial Park—BC's largest provincial park and one of the most celebrated wilderness destinations in North America. By boat or floatplane launched directly from your own shore, grizzly country, trophy fishing, and untouched alpine wilderness are minutes away.
Properties like this are not listed twice in a lifetime. Virtually nothing comparable exists in Northern BC.
