    Description

    Set on 17.07 private, forested acres in Crawford Bay, this purpose-built 6,092 sq. ft. cannabis cultivation facility combines a specialized production environment with substantial power, water, climate-control and security infrastructure. Approximately three acres are cleared around the facility, Willow Brook flows west through the property just behind the building, and a gated driveway provides access from Hedstrom Road.

    Constructed in 2020 for indoor cultivation, the facility received Health Canada approval for licensed cannabis cultivation in 2021, demonstrating its suitability for regulated production. Licensing is operator-specific and does not transfer with a purchase of the real estate alone.

    The 4,989 sq. ft. main floor is organized around three controlled grow rooms, together with genetics and propagation, a refrigerated dry room, trim and packaging, secure storage, waste handling, irrigation, shipping and receiving, security/IT and electrical rooms. Production areas feature epoxied concrete floors and washable PVC wall and ceiling panels.

    Each grow room has dedicated heat pumps, dehumidification, HEPA/UV air treatment, CO2 supply and timed irrigation, supported by air exchangers with carbon filtration. The facility is serviced by two separately metered 600-amp electrical services with two 20kW propane backup generators. Water is supplied by a drilled well with sediment, carbon and UV treatment, and fibre internet is in place.

    The 1,103 sq. ft. second floor provides staff and administrative space including an office, lunchroom with cabinetry and laundry, change/locker room, washroom and storage.

    Available for purchase as a standalone land and building acquisition, or as a fully licensed, operational, turnkey cultivation business, including all existing equipment, assets and licensing. An experienced cultivation team may also be available to continue operations under new ownership, providing a seamless transition.

    GST is applicable on the price.

    Area Data

    Crawford Bay is the service centre for the East Shore of Kootenay Lake, approximately 3.5 km from the property. The Crawford Bay Market carries groceries, liquor, gas and diesel. The community also has a credit union, restaurants, the East Shore Community Health Centre and Crawford Bay School, which runs kindergarten through Grade 12.

    Creston is the nearest full-service town, approximately 80 km south on Highway 3A, with a hospital, grocery stores, and building and farm supply. Nelson is reached by the free Kootenay Lake ferry, a 35-minute crossing from Kootenay Bay to Balfour followed by a 35 km drive. Nelson has a hospital, Walmart and a full range of shops. Commercial flights run from West Kootenay Regional Airport in Castlegar and Canadian Rockies International Airport in Cranbrook.

    Recreation

    The East Shore of Kootenay Lake sits between the lake and the Purcell Mountains, so there is water, trail and backcountry in every direction.

    Kootenay Lake and Kokanee Springs Golf Resort are both right here. The lake is a few minutes away, with a sandy beach and marina at Crawford Bay and room to fish, paddle and sail. It does not freeze over, so it can be fished year-round for rainbow trout and kokanee. Kokanee Springs, an 18-hole championship course, is approximately 600 metres from the property, with approximately 10 km of maintained trails around it for hiking and mountain biking.

    Pilot Bay Provincial Park, near the Kootenay Bay ferry landing, has lakeshore trails, camping and a 15-minute walk to the 1907 Pilot Bay lighthouse. For a full day out, the Plaid Lake trail near Crawford Bay climbs to an alpine lake in the Purcell Mountains. Ainsworth Hot Springs is on the west side of the lake, reached by the ferry.

    History

    Crawford Bay and Crawford Creek are named for James Crawford, a trapper and prospector who lived here until his death in 1914.

    Mining drew the first wave of newcomers in the 1880s. Claims staked in 1882 became the Bluebell Mine at Riondel, and a smelter was built at Pilot Bay to treat its ore, running from 1895 to 1896. The Bluebell was worked on and off until 1971.

    The Crawford Creek valley was settled as farms and fruit orchards. In the 1960s most of those farms became Kokanee Springs Golf Resort, whose course was designed by Norman Woods in 1968 and is still the centrepiece of the community.
