I've been selling rural property in British Columbia for many years, and it's not often I get this excited about a piece of real estate. This is a true legacy property. This 248-acre parcel is only 3.5 km from downtown Invermere, but when at the property you feel like you're tucked into some of BC’s most stunning backcountry. Excellent access on year-round maintained road. Absolutely spectacular views to the east to the Rocky Mountain range as well as the Purcell Range to the west. With complete privacy, this trophy acreage backs onto a massive swath of Crown land that is absolutely teeming with wildlife. It's not uncommon to see deer, elk, bears and even moose at certain times of year.
This property is of a quality to support the construction of a high-end home. There are stunning views in every direction and multiple building sites. Perhaps the most logical location to build you cabin or dream home is towards the southwest side of the property looking back to the east towards the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Power is available and has already been run halfway down the property towards the western edge. Current buildings on the property consists of a small pump house and hay shed.
Water for the productive the 85 acres of hayfield is provided by a water licence on Sunlight Creek which runs through the property year-round. The hayfield is currently irrigated by wheel lines. The property is fully fenced and would be well-suited as a high-end equestrian property or small cattle operation. A second creek named Goldie Creek also flows through year-round and adds additional character to the estate. This is a true four-season gem suitable for year-round living or as a recreational retreat.
Please note all merchantable timber on the property has been recently logged. The logging has opened up the view corridors even more and towering peaks are now visible in 360 degrees.
Large parcels of land only such as this one which are only minutes to down are extremely rare. The central location means you are literally only minutes to shopping, Panorama Ski Resort and championship golf courses. Come experience the mountains, nature, awe inspiring and breathtaking views, endless wildlife and unlimited space.

Invermere is a town with a rich history tied to the development of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the settlement of the Columbia Valley. The area was originally inhabited by the Ktunaxa people, who lived off the land and used the Columbia River as a vital transportation route. European settlers arrived in the late 19th century, drawn by the promise of fertile land and the opportunities brought by the railway. Invermere was officially established in 1912 as the terminus of a branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which helped the town grow as a hub for agriculture and tourism.
Invermere's early economy was primarily based on agriculture, particularly fruit farming, but it also became a popular destination for outdoor recreation, attracting visitors with its stunning natural scenery, including Lake Windermere and the surrounding mountains. The construction of roads and bridges in the early 20th century further boosted tourism, making Invermere a key gateway to the Columbia Valley. Today, Invermere continues to thrive as a popular tourist destination, known for its outdoor activities and vibrant arts community.
