This 128-acre property lies alongside 3,500 feet of the pristine Slocan River. Goose Creek meanders through the acreage, further complementing the water features. The property includes two homes—a spacious 2,840 sq. ft. four-bedroom, three-bathroom main residence and a charming 1,104 sq. ft. three-bedroom, two-bathroom secondary home.
Strategically located between Castlegar and Nelson, this property is uniquely divided by the Central Kootenay Regional District's electoral areas: Area ‘H’: Unzoned, offering flexibility for various land uses. Area ‘I’: Currently undergoing a planning transition from open space to rural residential, enhancing its future potential.
The 2,840 sq. ft. family log homestead is endearingly referred to as 'The Lodge'. Originally constructed in 1966-67 above Salmo, BC, the home was meticulously relocated to its current location in Crescent Valley.

Slocan Valley is about 100 kilometres long, with the Valhalla Range providing a steep western boundary and the Slocan Range presenting gradual slopes to the east. Squeezed in between, Slocan Lake occupies the northern reaches with the Slocan River to the south. Crescent Valley, Krestova are within the most southerly reaches of the valley.
Entrepreneurs are the staple economic driver for the approximately 5,000 people who call the valley home. Many businesses are home-based by choice, while other residents commute to Nelson, Castlegar, and Nakusp. The pleasant and distinctly rural essence of this valley remains with a notable absence of large industrial operations, fast food outlets, or strip malls. Some valley farms, originally established by Russian Doukhobors, still produce organic fruit and vegetables. In recent years, a new crop of young farmers has relocated to the valley, producing bounty for local farmers' markets, restaurants, grocery stores, and food processors.

Temperatures vary with elevation and with proximity to Slocan Lake, with average summer temperatures between 20 and 25°C, and -5 to 5°C in the winter and fall. Prime hot sunny weather is typically during July, August, and September.
Wildlife in the area includes deer, elk, black bears, cougars, coyotes, mountain sheep, and the occasional beaver. Eagles perch to fish from the cottonwoods, along the Slocan River, to fish, while an abundance of shorebirds, waterfowl, and songbirds share this largely undisturbed area.
The Slocan Valley's four seasons offer spectacular year-round recreation opportunities depending on conditions and elevation. Picture hitting the slopes in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon!
