Two 10-acre Unzoned Lots, Quiet & Flexible - Harrop, BC

This 20-acre offering sits just outside Harrop in a quiet pocket of the West Kootenays, split across two separately titled parcels (Lot 12: 10.76 acres and Lot 13: 10.06 acres) with flexible use and easy access. The land is treed, gently sloped, and borders Crown land, making it ideal for a private build, recreational getaway, or simply holding for the future.

Access is via the Harrop-Procter cable ferry, a short 5-minute crossing that runs on demand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Both lots feature mature timber and usable terrain, making them easy to walk and straightforward to develop. There's plenty of room to tuck in a private homesite, cabin, or multiple structures, with enough separation between the titles to use or sell independently down the road. The slope is manageable, and natural building benches offer several solid options.

A path across the road and rail line leads to a quiet beach on Kootenay Lake, perfect for summer access to the water. The property fronts onto Lasca Creek Road and offers reliable year-round access.

No zoning, no building scheme, no red tape. Build what you want, when you want. A home, cabin, recreational property, or just a place to park the trailer and escape. Solid rural land in a highly sought-after part of the Kootenay corridor, to use how you want.

The Harrop-Procter area sits on the south shore of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia’s West Kootenay region—roughly halfway between the towns of Nelson and Kaslo. This part of the Kootenays is known for its laid-back rural character, proximity to the lake, and access to an endless network of Crown land, forest service roads, and quiet shoreline.

The local community is small and spread out, made up of off-grid properties, homesteads, seasonal cabins, and full-time residents. Harrop and Procter are connected by a short cable ferry to Highway 3A, making access simple while keeping the area tucked away from through traffic. The closest services are in Balfour (15 minutes), which offers fuel, groceries, a pub, restaurants, and a golf course.

For full amenities—hospital, Canadian Tire, grocery chains, hardware, restaurants, and more—Nelson is about a 35-minute drive via the ferry. The area is well-positioned for year-round living or seasonal use, with essential services close but not crowding the lifestyle.

Kootenay Lake is one of BC’s largest interior lakes, deep, clean, and usable year-round. It doesn’t freeze in the winter, so you can fish, paddle, or head out by boat any time of year. In the warmer months, it’s perfect for a refreshing dip and boating long stretches of quiet shoreline. A public beach sits just across the road from the property, giving you easy access without the summer crowds.

If you golf, there are a couple of great tracks nearby, including Balfour Golf Course and Granite Pointe in Nelson, both laid-back, scenic, and well maintained.

You are about an hour from Whitewater Ski Resort and surrounded by a massive network of logging roads and Crown land, prime for sledding and ski touring.

The area also offers strong hunting opportunities, plus great hiking, biking, and off-road access right out your back door. Harrop has a tight-knit local vibe with a café, bakery, and summer markets, while Nelson, just across the ferry, offers restaurants, breweries, music, shops, and a proper small-town energy with a surprisingly strong nightlife scene.

Harrop and Procter are two small communities tucked along the West Arm of Kootenay Lake, with roots in agriculture, forestry, and lake transport dating back to the late 1800s. Early settlers relied on steamboats, fruit farming, and logging to build a life in this remote corner of the Kootenays. The Harrop/Procter cable ferry, still in use today, has connected both sides of the lake for over a century and is one of the last operating cable ferries in BC.

The area has a long-standing connection to the land, carried forward through initiatives like the Harrop/Procter Community Forest, which manages local forests with a focus on long-term stewardship, conservation, and small-scale sustainable harvest. That same mindset continues today in a community that values self-sufficiency, quiet living, and a strong sense of friendship and neighbourly connection.
