Located on the pristine shores of Francois Lake, 2461 Francois Lake Road offers an extraordinary opportunity to own just under 60 acres of low bank lakefront in one of British Columbia’s most peaceful and scenic regions. With approximately 2,800 feet of shoreline, this rare property borders Crown land, creating unmatched privacy and access to endless outdoor recreation. Francois Lake is renowned for its world class fishing with trophy rainbow trout and lake char commonly caught, while the surrounding wilderness provides excellent hunting and wildlife viewing. Whether you’re casting a line, spotting moose, or simply taking in the stillness of the lake, this is a place to unplug and fully immerse yourself in nature.
Zoned both R4 and RR1 and located outside the Agricultural Land Reserve, the property offers substantial potential for future development. A full rezone into R4 could allow for subdivision into multiple lakefront parcels, making it an excellent long-term investment. Existing infrastructure includes hydro and two rustic structures that offer basic but usable accommodations. The land features a mix of open pasture and lightly treed terrain, well suited for a hobby farm, equestrian use, or a private retreat. For the right buyer, this is more than a recreational getaway, it is a rare chance to own a quiet legacy property in a truly special setting.
2461 Francois Lake Road - Fraser Lake, BC
Francois Lake is located in north-central British Columbia, approximately 30 minutes south of the Village of Fraser Lake and just over an hour west of Vanderhoof. The surrounding area is known for its rich natural beauty, featuring dense forests, expansive lakes, and abundant wildlife. Francois Lake itself is one of the province’s longest natural lakes and is highly regarded for exceptional fishing, particularly for rainbow trout and lake char. The region also offers world-class hunting, with deer, moose, and bear frequently found throughout the area. Outdoor recreation is a way of life here, with boating, hiking, snowmobiling, and ATVing all easily accessible from the property.
The property lies within the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, a quiet and largely undeveloped region that appeals to those seeking privacy, space, and a self-sufficient lifestyle. There are no zoning restrictions related to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), and the property benefits from dual zoning (R4 and RR1), allowing for flexibility in use. While services are limited in the immediate area, essentials can be accessed in nearby Fraser Lake or Burns Lake. This is an ideal setting for those looking to escape city life, whether as a recreational retreat, equestrian property, hobby farm, or long-term investment in a truly tranquil environment.
