There are properties that are simply lists of features, and then there are properties that are experiences. 784 Lewis Road in Harrop is unmistakably the latter. Set on 29.12 acres along the West Arm of Kootenay Lake, this exceptional rural property offers a lifestyle that is genuinely special. It is one of peace, beauty, utility and a deep connection to the natural world around you.
The main residence is a thoughtfully designed 1,084 sq. ft. rancher with an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove. The large windows invite the surrounding mountain and lake views inside. The wood floors and old-growth fir trim were milled locally at the Harrop-Procter Community Forest sawmill, giving the space a grounded, authentic character. The covered deck is built from cedar harvested right off the property and milled locally, a detail that speaks to the craftsmanship and connection to place that defines this home.
A charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom guest cabin provides excellent accommodation for family and friends. The cabin features baseboard heat and a welcoming covered concrete patio. For those with an equestrian lifestyle, the outbuildings are exceptional: a substantial 35’ x 85’ main shop with 10’ ceilings, baseboard heat, power and water (with a greywater pit), a 48’ x 21’ covered car shelter, a 15’ x 22’ shed, and red barn with a tack room and multiple fenced paddocks. Beyond the buildings, a remarkable network of trails winds through old-growth forest past moss-covered ground and towering conifers. A creek meanders through a corner of the property. This is a place that makes you never want to leave home.
