Trophy lakefront acreage situated at the north and of Nicola Lake. This is the first time the property has been offered for sale in over 100 years. This stunning 23-acre property has 1,910 feet of lakefront and unparalleled views down the lake to the rolling ranch lands beyond.
The rear of the property slopes down towards the lake where it gradually flattens out until you reach the lakefront. There’s a good mix of open grassland areas and mature pine trees adding character to the parcel. There are a number of excellent building sites to choose from which take in the views and position your future cabin or home a short stroll down to the lakefront where you can install your dock system. The lakefront on the south side of the parcel is gravel and as you move towards the north the lakefront turns to sandy beachfront. Nicola Lake is widely recognized as one of the top water sport recreation lakes in close proximity to the Lower Mainland.
The area is known for its warm dry climate with many cloud free days. Towards the southwest boundary of the property Klup Creek babbles through the acreage for 630 feet before pouring into Nicola Lake. Given the dry nature of this area it’s a huge bonus to have this awesome secondary water feature on the property.
Backing onto thousands of acres of untouched Crown land this property is the epitome of private. The closest neighbour to the north is Beaver Ranch, and the closest neighbour to the south is separated from the property by a large rock bluff which slopes down to the lake. This property is a true oasis in the Nicola Valley.
Located less than three hours from Vancouver, 20 minutes to Merritt and less than an hour to Kamloops Regional Airport this property is within easy striking distance. Access by water is required to view the property, and a registered easement is on title for access to the property by land.
The zoning is rural residential and allows for one single-family dwelling along with a secondary suite. Permitted uses include rustic guest ranch, riding stables and bed-and-breakfast. For someone with horses this could be the trophy equestrian property you’ve been dreaming of, with almost endless riding out your back door on the adjacent Crown land.
This is literally a once in 100-year property, and when you find something like this you buy it because it’s really difficult to find it twice.
