Private 10-Acre Oasis Overlooking the Slocan River: Gravity-Fed Mountain Spring & Established Orchard

Perched above the Slocan River on a quiet, maintained back road, this charming three-bedroom home offers peace, privacy, and breathtaking valley views away from highway noise. Enjoy the pinnacle of Kootenay lifestyle with a pristine nature park and public river access located just a short walk down the road, providing immediate access to swimming, kayaking, and trails.

The open floor plan features wood floors throughout and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Step outside onto the covered wraparound deck and take in the beauty of the surrounding nature. Attached to the home is a versatile studio room complete with its own separate entrance—ideal for a private home office, guest space, or home-based business—as well as a workshop and a wood shed. Additional outbuildings include a private sauna and a functional barn, providing space for hobbies, storage, or small-scale farming.

For the self-sufficiency enthusiast, the water system is a dream come true: a simple, highly reliable licensed natural mountain spring that feeds a holding tank near the source and flows completely by gravity, ensuring endless water security and pressurized flow to the home and yard water lines—even during a total power outage. The home and garden benches enjoy open sun exposure, perfect for the well-established garden with perennial herbs, asparagus, raspberries, a mature producing fruit orchard (Apples and Plums), established berry patches (Saskatoons and Elderberries), and unique producing nut trees (Walnuts and Hazelnuts). A 1,000-foot deer fence fully encloses the house, garden, and orchard yard, while the remaining eight acres of forested mountain privacy feature a private creek and an established walking path into the woods. Nature lovers will appreciate the property’s role as a natural bird sanctuary, where multiple species return each year to raise their young in the peaceful, undisturbed forest.

Beside the main home sits a massive bonus detached 3-level framed structural shell, sold strictly as-is. This extensive footprint offers the ultimate blank canvas for an artisan pottery studio, timber-framing workshop, or heavy storage. If you’ve been dreaming of a self-sustaining lifestyle in a private, picturesque setting, this is your opportunity.
