A stunning lakefront acreage in the beautiful West Kootenays only a few kilometres north of the US border.
This mostly forested acreage has almost 3,000 feet of frontage on Rosebud Lake; a small fishing and great little swimming lake that is approx. 40 acres in size with a healthy population of rainbows. The lake frontage extends for approx. 2,000 feet long the north shore of the lake where there are two simple docks in place, one with a gazebo structure. There is an additional 1,000 feet lakeshore along the south end of the lake’s north arm—please see maps. It is an amazing set up for a campground/resort or personal recreational retreat.
The property is comprised of two titles each with some frontage on the lake. One title is almost 43 acres and the second title 117+ acres (160 acres in total). There is an excellent internal road stretching through the land with a couple branch roadways providing good access throughout the land to a couple nice little clearings along the lake.
The property offers ample privacy bordering on Crown land to the north and east as well as an undeveloped Regional District Park along its southeast boundary. Just beyond the east boundary of the land there are power lines offering excellent access into the backcountry for hunting and other outdoor recreation pursuits.
Access to the property is via a maintained year-round road. There are no services on the land, although several decades ago when the land was owned by the Catholic Church there was a rural church camp that had a septic system (no longer operable).
The land is mostly zoned R4 (Remote Residential) with approx. 14 acres of land zoned C2 (Tourist Commercial).
The lake is a dammed lake created in the 1960s by the Canadian Army Engineers, the license holder for the dam is the owner of this property, transferable to a new owner. The owner has paperwork on the engineering components and is guaranteed for life.
