Tucked into 8.8 acres of treed sanctuary, this custom post & beam retreat is more than a home—it’s a way of life. Cradled by forest and serenaded by the year-round murmur of a private creek, it’s a place where time slows down, shoulders drop, and the outside world fades away. Crafted for those who value self-reliance with style, the three-level home offers five bedrooms, soaring ceilings, and spaces that flex for family life, remote work, or full-blown homesteading dreams. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with high-end appliances—induction range, wine fridge, wall oven—all wrapped in warm wood tones and natural textures. The sunken living room draws you in with a wood-burning stove, post & beam charm, and two-storey windows that frame the forest like art. Step into the screened-in porch, throw a steak on the grill, and listen to the land breathe. The walkout basement brings 10’ ceilings, a brand-new propane furnace, and a full UV/RO water system. Outdoors, a drilled well, cistern, and licensed 500 GPD creek water rights ensure everything—from gardens to livestock—can thrive. Add a heated 100-amp shop, an oversized garage, and attached workshop, and you’re fully outfitted for work, play, or whatever wild venture calls next. Only 10 minutes from Enderby, with Vernon and Salmon Arm an easy drive—this is wilderness living with just the right amount of civilization. Whether you’re raising a family or carving out your next chapter, this one’s built to last and meant to be lived in. (id:2493)
