Within one of the most naturally diverse and scenic parts of the Nicola Valley, known for its rolling grasslands, timbered hillsides, clear-running creeks, and expansive ranch lands, this region is a mix of rural residential acreages, agricultural land, large ranch holdings, and recreational properties, giving it a true country-living feel. Parcels range from small 1- to 2-acre rural lots, to vast multi-hundred-acre ranches. Most properties prioritize privacy, nature access, and panoramic views, with many located along elevated benches or tucked into forested slopes—similar in character to the setting of D’Easum Road.
The landscape is shaped by the valley’s network of creeks, rivers, and lakes, which support abundant wildlife and create a lush contrast to the semi-arid climate. The property itself enjoys the year-round flow of Roberts Creek, one of the many small, reliable creeks that run off the surrounding mountainsides. Nearby, Guichon Creek, Spius Creek, and Clapperton Creek weave through the valley, feeding local ecosystems and offering peaceful spots for exploration. These waterways eventually connect into the region’s main lifeline, the Nicola River, which winds through the valley floor.
Only minutes away, the Nicola Valley opens into vast landscapes of sagebrush grasslands, pine forests, and rolling benches, surrounded by the high-country plateaus that define the region. Nicola Lake, one of the largest and warmest lakes in the area, sits a short drive away and provides boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and year-round recreation. The valley is bordered by major outdoor playgrounds, including extensive Crown land, off-road trail networks, fly-fishing streams, and mountain terrain ideal for hiking, hunting, horseback riding, and winter adventure.
The broader area around D’Easum Road is peaceful and sparsely populated, with properties often separated by timber stands or open fields, providing exceptional privacy while maintaining a sense of rural community. Access roads are well maintained, and the region’s elevation offers sweeping views of the Nicola, Sunshine, and Spius Valleys. The combination of climate, varied terrain, reliable water sources, and large open spaces makes this one of the most desirable acreage areas in the Merritt region.
The area surrounding 3435 D’Easum Road supports a rich and diverse ecosystem thanks to its blend of grasslands, open forest, and creekside vegetation. The landscape features native bunchgrasses, sagebrush, bluebunch wheatgrass, and fescue across the lower hills, while higher benches transition into stands of Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and lodgepole pine, mixed with pockets of aspen and cottonwood in moister areas. Along Roberts Creek and nearby riparian zones, vegetation becomes lush with willow, red-osier dogwood, alder, wild rose, and dense native sedges. This varied terrain attracts abundant wildlife, including mule deer, whitetail deer, black bear, coyote, fox, and the occasional moose. Smaller animals such as marmots, rabbits, beavers, and muskrats are common near water sources, while the skies are active with hawks, eagles, owls, bluebirds, and songbirds that thrive in the open forests and grasslands.
For landowners interested in landscaping, the Nicola Valley’s semi-arid climate is ideal for drought-tolerant and hardy native plants. Excellent choices include Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and spruce for structure; Saskatoon berry, Oregon grape, snowberry, and juniper for shrubs; and native perennials such as yarrow, lupine, penstemon, blanketflower, and arrowleaf balsamroot for colour and pollinator support. Grasses like Idaho fescue and bluebunch wheatgrass blend seamlessly into the natural environment and require minimal water. Near the creek, riparian-friendly plants such as willow, dogwood, and sedges can be used to stabilize banks and enhance habitat. Together, the vegetation, wildlife, and climate create a naturally beautiful setting that supports both ecological richness and low-maintenance rural living.

Winter brings a completely different set of opportunities—most notably access to one of Merritt’s most beloved snowmobiling areas: Honeymoon. Known for its reliable snowpack, open meadows, scenic ridgelines, and varied terrain suitable for riders of all skill levels, the Honeymoon area is a favourite destination for locals and visiting sledders alike. Groomed trails, deep powder zones, and spectacular alpine views make it a top-tier riding area within the region.
