    Description

    Tucked away on 16.29 private acres along Granby Road, this well-established rural property offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle just 10 minutes north of Grand Forks. While the majority of the property remains forested, nearly an acre has been cleared to create a functional and beautifully landscaped homesite complete with mature fruit trees, berry bushes, fenced garden space, and a collection of practical outbuildings. Whether your dream is to grow your own food, raise chickens, goats or pigs, or simply enjoy a quieter pace of life, this property is already well suited for it.

    The custom-built 3-bedroom 2 bath home (with approx. 2,000 sq. ft.) is accessed and privately set off Granby Road. The home is set towards the back of the clearing and has been designed with country living in mind featuring a large wrap around deck with front porch. Inside there is a spacious foyer with mudroom with laundry area, and full bathroom provide the perfect transition from outdoors, while the main floor also features a functional kitchen with pantry, a large dining room, and a comfortable living room centred around a wood stove. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a second full bathroom, including a generous primary bedroom with walk-in closet and its own private deck overlooking the property. A large wrap-around deck extends the living space outdoors and provides plenty of room to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    Several additional buildings add tremendous flexibility to the property. A detached shop with office/hobby area and numerous farm outbuildings support a variety of agricultural or hobby farm uses, while a detached studio—currently operated as a coffee roastery—offers excellent potential as a home-based business, office, guest accommodation, or rental suite. This detached building is serviced by a commercially approved septic system, and the water supply successfully met commercial testing standards over several years.

    A network of trails winds through the property's mature forest, creating an enjoyable place to walk while connecting the upper homesite to the lower portion of the land bordering West Snowball Creek Road. The flexibility of access makes the full property very useful. On the lower section just off Snowball Creek Rd sits a substantial 20 x 40 ft steel-frame building with a concrete floor with 18 ft ceilings, ideal for equipment, workshop space, storage, or future projects. Along the trail between the two areas, a natural spring further enhances the property's appeal.

    The forest itself is an attractive blend of primarily Douglas fir with scattered yellow pine, lodgepole pine, birch, and other native species. The timber has the potential to provide a modest source of income through selective harvesting while preserving the property's natural character.

    The zoning on the property allows for some flexibility of use and carries some interesting value. In addition to the residential use which allows for a house plus a secondary suite there are some fitting commercial allowances in the Rural Resource 1 zoning . . . a campground, guest ranch, B&B, vet clinic, etc. Add to this the fact that the lower portion of the property is naturally separated from the upper home site and has access off Snowball Creek Road one could more practically set up a small campground or other business on the lower portion of the land and maintain privacy from the home site.

    Offering privacy, functionality, versatility and room to grow, this is a property that combines comfortable country living with the opportunity to become more self-reliant, all within easy reach of the amenities of Grand Forks.

    Area Data

    Located just 10 minutes north of Grand Forks along scenic Granby Road, this property offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining close to the services and conveniences of one of the Boundary Country's most welcoming communities. Home to approximately 4,200 residents, Grand Forks provides a full range of amenities including grocery stores, restaurants, schools, healthcare services, recreation facilities, and a regional airport. The city sits at the confluence of the Granby and Kettle Rivers, surrounded by rolling mountains, forests, and fertile river valleys that have long made the area a desirable place to live and explore.

    The Boundary region enjoys one of British Columbia's warmest and sunniest interior climates, with hot, dry summers, relatively mild winters, and a long growing season that supports orchards, vineyards, and abundant gardens. Outdoor recreation is available year-round, with the nearby Granby River offering excellent fishing, swimming, paddling, and riverside hiking, while countless backroads provide access to the surrounding mountains and forests. You also have some nice little trails through the forest on the property.

    For those seeking adventure, Crown land is easily accessed by travelling north to Burrell Creek Forest Service Road. From there, an extensive network of forestry roads opens the door to thousands of hectares of public land ideal for hiking, ATVing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, hunting, camping, and exploring the rugged backcountry of the Monashee Mountains.

    The property's location also places you within roughly 20 minutes of the Canada-United States border crossing, making day trips into Washington State both convenient and accessible while maintaining the privacy and lifestyle of rural British Columbia.
