Alternately the Seller could consider an offer for part of the ranch as an asset sale. It could include several lots, the Main Sitka log home, guest homes and the Equestrian Complex.

Located at 103 Mile House in the South Cariboo rural area and OUTSIDE OF THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT FORIGN BANNED areas.

The property is classed as Farmlands so annual property tax is considerably less with a minimal amount of cattle sales. A detailed summary of each lot in this 27-lot assembly showing size, zoning, and property tax can be provided.

ACCESS the Ranch by road, by corporate jet to an air strip located 3 miles away, or by commercial air services to Williams Lake, B. C. There is also a private light aircraft air strip runway on-site with a storage hanger.

Ideal corporate retreat or family estate for horse loving outdoor enthusiasts who can enjoy hunting in the rolling hills, fly fishing, and an equestrian facility along with 7 other log homes, wild animals, and bird life. Farming, cattle ranching, and rearing horses could all be expanded.

IDEAL BUYER would enjoy the Main House and Equestrian Complex and develop additional homes for sale on the undeveloped lots to maximize zoning that permits 2 structures per lot and create mini hobby farms for inbound Retiree buyers. Year-round activities of fishing, riding, hunting, and snowmobile touring can be enjoyed. The possibilities are vast and priced today below replacement cost.

Viewing of all homes and property can be arranged as part of a Buyers inspection following receipt of an acceptable offer or proof of capacity to purchase.

I am a B C Realtor with Royal Lepage Sterling Realty in Port Moody B C so I can help an out of Province or Country Buyer purchase this ranch, or, work with a Buyer's Broker and help with an offer.

Home Features

The MAIN HOUSE built in 2006 is the newest home on this ranch. It's a well appointed and equipped 7-bedroom 9465 sq. ft. custom-built Sitka log home overlooking Straight Lake. An ideal perch to watch transient water foul. It has only been used as a vacation home so it feels near new. It includes geothermal heating/AC, well water head tank supply w/2 step water purification, back up power generator, satellite phone and internet service.
The other 7 homes can be used as a new owner sees fit except for the ranch manager’s home needed as part compensation for managing the herd of Black Angus beef cattle in the southwest corner of the property.
The SIMON LAKE HOUSE is a 3 level custom-built log home with approx. 4000 sq. ft. It fronts the lake and includes a near new 95’ dock to enjoy small boats, casting for trout, lounging on the dock, and swimming during season. The Lake was stocked years ago and offers world class rainbow trout fishing. It’s produced trout up to 17 pounds, so now aptly known as a trophy fishing lake. It’s ready for your fly-fishing guests.
SERVICES: Well Water sourced from several wells and collected in a large tank that provides water service to the Main House and other buildings in the equestrian area. The Main House has additional water softening system and the other homes have their own systems. B C Hydro electrical service has a diesel generator as back-up.

Lot Features

A total of 3906 acres plus 2019 acres of leased grasslands. It is an assembly of 27 lots and 7 of these properties have log homes – Main House, Gate House, Black Valley House, Meadow House, Wrangler House, Outpost House, and Simon Lake house with lake frontage. All are situated on separate locations on the sprawling acreage. Four of these homes were built as dream vacation homes so all are good size with kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
The four Lakes on the land include: Straight Lake with 19,650 feet of lake frontage; Simon Lake 13,550 feet of lake frontage; Roundup Lake; and Milch Lake. All offering habitat for water foul and world class rainbow trout fishing.
ALR zoning, Canadian tax regulations, and the size of the assembled properties enable the owner to use any portion of the property to raise cattle. (NOTE that an owner must sell a minimum of 20 head of cattle per year to maintain farm tax status.) An area of 2019 adjoining acres are leased for a nominal fee of $500 per year as grazing land and to grow hay to feed up to 200 head – Black Angus or other breeds. Healthy happy animals double the heard every year. This increase in stock allows enough cattle to be sold every year to offset the cost of a full-time manager and pay most of the expenses to operate the ranch. As the Ranch is now for sale the herd has been downsized to 35 head. NOTE: Currently Cattle sell for $1,600 to $1,800 per head depending on feed and breed.

Horse Facility Features

The Equestrian Complex area adjacent to the MAIN home includes associated buildings for hay storage, 10 stables, tack room, horse washing area, lunchroom, open and covered riding arenas. It also includes the Wrangler’s Cottage, and paddocks. It could accommodate up to 100 horses. Lippitt Morgan horses were raised here for their beauty, heritage and disposition.
The covered exercise arena includes a sprinkler mist system to minimize dust. It also included a mechanical shop, and staff quarters.
