Sturdy bridges have been installed to connect the pasture areas created by the creek’s bends. Here, the peaceful sound of flowing water combined with the presence of songbirds creates a truly tranquil setting. In the fall, watch the coho salmon return to spawn in the creek as you sit by the firepit. A hillside on the southern half of the property was selectively logged, re-seeded, and re-fenced in 2024 to expand grazing opportunities; and this backs directly onto Crown land, providing immediate access for backcountry exploration right from the property.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes a 30 x 40 ft storage barn and a covered 60 x 120 indoor arena.

Heffley Creek was established as a settlement in the late 1800s, when ranching, farming and logging expanded throughout the Thompson region.
The community was originally known as Tranquille Valley East before becoming known as Heffley Creek, named after the creek that runs through the area. The name is generally attributed to members of the Heffley family, who were among the early settlers in the region.
Growth accelerated in the early 1900s as transportation routes improved and the area became an important rural community serving agricultural operations north of Kamloops.
