Discover this expansive 18.38-acre property, located just 15 minutes south of Cranbrook. This versatile land offers incredible opportunities for those looking to design their ideal custom home, develop a recreational retreat, or pursue agricultural endeavors. With ample space for vibrant gardens, spacious outbuildings, or outdoor activities, this property serves as a perfect canvas to bring your vision to life while enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. The property is located in between the Crowsnest Highway and Monroe Creek and includes over 1 km of frontage on both the creek and the highway.
A standout characteristic of this property is its accessibility; the historic former (no decommissioned) Highway 95 runs straight through the land, providing seamless access from north to south. This route has played a pivotal role in the region's development, linking various communities and serving as a crucial artery during the area's mining and milling boom. This prime location not only enhances convenience for daily commuting, but with the property being completely outside the ALR opens up the possibility of rezoning for future development. The current zoning allows for single-family dwellings (residential uses), equestrian centres, farming operations, guest ranches, rural retreats and more.
One of the property's distinctive features is Monroe Creek, which meanders along the eastern boundary. This creek has a unique ebb and flow, sometimes running dry later in the summer on dryer low water years and other times flowing gracefully, depending on seasonal changes and rainfall. This fascinating dynamic adds character to the property, providing an ever-changing natural backdrop.
You’ll notice there are two separate homesites on the property, one towards the north end and one towards the middle section of the property. These manufactured homes are not part of the sale, but are owned by the tenants that pay a simple monthly pad rental for the homes to be on the property. These manufactured homes of been on the property for many years and are serviced with power, septic and well. The new owner for the property continues to keep the tenants for the monthly income or have the tenants remove the manufactured homes from the property.
With its remarkable blend of natural beauty, accessibility, and versatility, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity to create your dream lifestyle in a peaceful setting.

Cranbrook was established in the late 1800s during the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Initially known as “Joseph Creek,” it was rebranded as Cranbrook in 1898, named after a town in England. Over the years, it evolved from a humble railway town into a vibrant community, largely supported by the timber and mining industries. The discovery of gold, silver, and other minerals in the surrounding Kootenay region attracted settlers and prospectors, leading to rapid growth. Today, Cranbrook serves as a regional hub for commerce, healthcare, and education, offering residents and visitors access to various amenities and outdoor recreational activities.
Lumberton is a smaller community that was established primarily to support the lumber industry in the region. With the area's abundant forests and timber resources, it became a key site for logging operations. The proximity to Cranbrook and the old Highway 95 facilitated transportation for lumber and other goods, helping Lumberton develop as a supporting community for nearby industries. While it remains a quieter area today, its history is closely tied to the logging and milling activities that shaped the economic landscape of the Kootenays.
Moyie is another small community that emerged during the late 19th century, primarily driven by the mining boom in the area. Gold and silver were discovered in the nearby hills, attracting miners and settlers seeking fortune. The community is located near Moyie Lake, which provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Today, Moyie retains a small-town charm and serves as a gateway for outdoor enthusiasts exploring the surrounding natural beauty.
