Rare Waterfront Homestead on the Slocan River Welcome to this unique opportunity—a 10-acre riverside retreat offering natural beauty, rich history, and untapped potential. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is set on a diverse landscape that includes mature forest, a modest yard, and a historic apple orchard with over 40 producing trees—never treated with pesticides or chemicals. Hazelnut trees line the riverbank, and a quaint grove of Christmas trees adds to the magic at the back of the orchard. The home itself is a blank canvas awaiting your vision. With a simple and functional floor plan, it offers electric heat and a wood stove for cozy winter nights. Lightly lived in and lovingly maintained by a single occupant for most of its life, the home is full of character and potential. An irrigation license from the Slocan River provides a valuable water source for the property. Additional outbuildings include storage sheds, a shop or potential guesthouse, and an attached lean-to carport—perfect for tools, equipment, or storing your apple harvest. The property is located within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and previously held farm status. Looking for more land? Just across the road, an additional 15 acres of fertile farmland is also available for purchase, featuring a fenced garden area and hay shed—ideal for expanding your homestead dreams. Don't miss this rare gem along the Slocan River. Bring your ideas and make this special acreage your own. (id:39198)
