This 80-acre holding in Trinity Valley offers a rare combination of privacy, natural setting, and existing off-grid infrastructure. Set around a scenic pond and wetland area, with mature trees, open sky, wildlife, and access to surrounding backcountry recreation, the property has the feel of a true rural retreat while remaining within practical driving distance of Lumby.
The property is zoned Large Holding (LH) and designated Large Holdings under the OCP, and it sits outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The floor area of the main dwelling is approximately 1,152 sq. ft. The property’s value is best understood through the combination of land, setting, water rights, and infrastructure. This is an off-grid acreage with meaningful improvements already in place.
The entire property runs on solar power, backed up by a generator, making it fully functional and independent from the grid. Running water, propane connection, and a collection of outbuildings round out an infrastructure package that would cost significantly more to replicate today. Whether the vision is full-time off-grid living, a recreational retreat, or a rural homestead with flexibility for the future growth, bring your ideas to life here!
The surrounding area offers extensive backcountry recreation opportunities, and where permitted from the property area, activities such as horseback riding, hiking, quadding, and snowmobiling are all within reach. At the same time, Lumby is nearby; striking a practical balance between rural living and accessibility.

The property and surrounding area support a mixed forest environment typical of the North Okanagan interior. Coniferous species including Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, and spruce are present, along with deciduous species and riparian vegetation around the pond and wetland areas. Mature trees on the property contribute to the natural setting and provide a strong sense of privacy.
Backcountry recreation is a defining part of the appeal of this area. Horseback riding, hiking, quadding, snowmobiling, and wildlife exploration are all available in the surrounding region, with access to backcountry recreation nearby and, where permitted, from the property area. The on-property pond and wetland setting support waterfowl activity and draw wildlife throughout the seasons.

Trinity Valley is part of the broader North Okanagan and Cherryville area, a region with roots in the gold rush era of the 1860s. Prospectors drawn by reports of gold and silver along Cherry Creek established early settlements, and the subsequent development of road access from Lumby in the late 1800s facilitated family settlement and agricultural development. Over time, the region transitioned to an economy centred on agriculture and forestry, and today retains its rural character while remaining within reach of modern services.
The property is bounded in significant part by Crown land, contributing to a strong sense of privacy and proximity to surrounding backcountry recreation opportunities.
