The irrigation system is supported by four water licences and dual infrastructure, including gravity-fed water from nearby creeks and a pumped system sourcing from the Chilcotin River, ensuring reliable water supply year-round.
The property is equipped with modern wheel lines and new reel guns, allowing efficient water distribution across the entire property.

Upstairs includes two large bedrooms, a designated office or reading nook, and a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a newly renovated modern bathroom. The lower level is framed for future expansion, offering space for an additional bedroom, large shop/storage room, bathroom, and utility area, providing flexibility for family living or agricultural operations. Thoughtful finishes, shiplap walls, high ceilings, a front deck overlooking the river with propane-ready BBQ, and durable hardy board siding complete this exceptional home, perfect for enjoying the scenic Chilcotin lifestyle in comfort and style.

Williams Lake is just one hour to the east of Hanceville and is known as the “Hub of the Cariboo,” is a full-service community about an hour east of Hanceville along Highway 20. With a population of roughly 11,000, it offers a wide range of amenities including schools, a hospital, shopping centres, restaurants, hardware and supply stores, and government services. The city is a major service and transportation centre for the Cariboo-Chilcotin, supporting ranching, forestry, and tourism.

Hanceville is a small, unincorporated rural community located in the Chilcotin District of central BC, lying southeast of Alexis Creek on the north side of the Chilcotin River. It is the primary settlement of the Stone First Nation (Yunesit’in Government), part of the Tsilhqot’in Nation.
Hanceville serves as a quiet gateway to natural landmarks like the Nemiah Valley and Taseko Lake—popular four-season playgrounds for ranching, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, and snowmobiling.
Hanceville offers a serene, community-centered lifestyle shaped by generations of ranching families, where the land and family heritage remain deeply intertwined. As part of Tsilhqot’in traditional territory, the area carries a strong cultural identity with deep ties to First Nations heritage. This is true “Wild West” country, with opportunities to explore gold rush history, ghost towns, working ranches, and vast stretches of wilderness. Characterized by low population density and abundant wildlife, the region provides a unique blend of cultural richness, frontier spirit, and outdoor adventure.
Alexis Creek, located about 110 km west of Williams Lake and just a short drive from Hanceville, serves as a small but important service hub for the surrounding rural communities.
