**FOR INQUIRIES!!! CALL SELLER DIRECTLY OR ** **This is not for RENT** **Your Private Acreage, Five Minutes from Kaslo** Turn off the main road, crunch up the gravel driveway, and the world gets quieter. Log detailing, a wrap-around deck, smoke drifting from the chimney — you exhale, because you're home. This is a rare find: a **private acreage** just five minutes from Kaslo that lives like a retreat but keeps town, schools, and the lake close at hand. Ideal as a hobby farm, family homestead, or smart investment — and with over **$280,000 in recent upgrades**, the hard work is already done. **Water, Land & Legacy** Six natural **gravity-fed springs** flow across the acreage — pure, reliable water with no pumps and no power required. With three water licenses and a reservoir on site, the house, gardens, and barn are set for generations. For growers, this place is a dream: **three established gardens** across the property — a fully fenced and producing main garden, a beautiful terraced garden, and additional growing space beside the freshly updated barn, which has a stall and two small storage rooms. Mature trees, lush lawns, and perennial beds tie it all together, and there's a kids' treehouse tucked among the trees. And for serious homesteaders, the crown jewel: a **professional root cellar attached to the house**. It's fully insulated with its own separate entry, a baseboard heater, and a thermostat — so beyond keeping a winter's worth of food in perfect condition, it can just as easily serve as a private office, studio, or hobby space. **The Home — Cedar Craftsmanship Throughout** Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. **Cedar tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings and walls** anchor the enclosed main porch and carry through the home, paired with open log detailing, custom arched doorways, and two skylights that flood the space with natural light. This is a home that feels warm the moment you walk in — built from the wood of these mountains, for life in them. The brand-new kitchen is the heart of it all — state-of-the-art appliances including a **Wi-Fi-enabled wall oven**, a big island, soft-close cabinetry, pantry, and double sink — opening into a vaulted living/dining area with patio doors to the deck. The master retreat has vaulted ceilings, a skylight, patio doors to the wrap-around deck, a walk-in closet, and a wood-burning fireplace with a new marble stone hearth. Downstairs, the family room is anchored by a striking $10,000 marble porcelain hearth with a freestanding wood stove. Two more bedrooms (both with walk-ins), a new 3-pc bath with claw-foot tub, and a full laundry room round it out — plus **potential for a rental suite** with its own entrance. **Move-In Ready, Future-Ready** - Fully repainted (April 2024) - Brand-new deck (2025) & new fire protection system (2025) - FULLY APPROVED FireSmart Protection - Fibre optic internet - New double attached carport - **Two legal addresses** — a second home can be built on the property The sale includes the quad, which is in excellent condition and fitted with a brand-new plow. **Living in Kaslo** Kaslo sits on the scenic shores of Kootenay Lake, framed by the Selkirk Mountains — a historic boom-era town that's softened into a vibrant small community with a thriving arts scene, year-round events, and quaint downtown shops and restaurants. Nelson is about an hour away and Creston just over an hour for bigger-city services. Ainsworth Hot Springs, golf, hiking, boating, skiing, and sledding are all on your doorstep.
