Stunning Timber Frame Home on 70 Acres with Breathtaking Slocan Valley Views. This Whisper Creek Timber frame home, known for its outstanding craftsmanship and commitment to quality, is set on 70 private mountainside acres in the Slocan Valley. Offering the perfect blend of rustic luxury, sustainability, and peaceful off-grid living, this is a truly remarkable property. Showcasing natural log and timber accents throughout, the home offers a warm, inviting interior enhanced by its bright south-facing exposure. Perched high above the valley, you’ll enjoy spectacular, unobstructed panoramic views of the Slocan Valley and Slocan River below. At the heart of the home is a massive Finnish designed masonry fireplace, engineered to efficiently heat the entire house while minimizing wood consumption. A propane fireplace on the lower level provides additional comfort. The home is powered by a versatile solar energy system supplying 12V DC, 24V DC, and 110V/220V AC with the grid power as a seamless backup when needed. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property includes a drilled well and an on-demand, solar-assisted hot water system. Outside, enjoy a beautifully maintained garden and fruit tree area, fully enclosed with 8-foot deer fencing. A full wraparound covered deck provides the perfect space to take in the stunning natural surroundings year-round. Lower level of home has plenty of space to add more bedrooms if needed. Additional features include a wood-burning sauna, a guest cabin for extra accommodation/workspace, carport and a detached double garage with a 275 sq. ft. loft for added storage, located on the lower portion of the property. With approximately 0.75 km of road frontage, this property offers exceptional privacy, recreation, and subdivision potential. A rare opportunity to own a private, off-grid retreat in the heart of the Slocan Valley. (id:39198)
