9487 Shutty Bench Road, Kaslo

Charming farmhouse on Kootenay Lake, located just a short drive from Kaslo. This incredible property offers over 500 feet of waterfront, making it an idyllic retreat. A historic gem cherished by the same family for 70+ years, it was built during the thriving cherry and apple orchard era, bringing a glimpse into the past. The main floor features a large kitchen, dining room, sitting room, office, and spacious living room. Additionally, you'll find a large utility/canning room with a kitchenette and a full bathroom with a laundry area. The downstairs offers a storage/cold room, ideal for storing the bounties of the summer harvest. The wide staircase leads up to the primary bedroom, bathroom, and two more cozy bedrooms. The views from the house and decks are nothing short of incredible. Immerse yourself in the stunning vistas while listening to the soothing sounds of the lake's waves gently lapping the shore. The 5.61-acre lot features multiple garden areas with a recently planted orchard showcasing a variety of apple, pear, peach, and apricot trees, most of which were grown by the owner from organic and heritage tree sources. This beautiful property also offers a large carport with a shop in the back, a greenhouse, and a spacious firewood shed. The water source for this place is truly remarkable, originating from a pristine mountain spring rather than surface water. A separate water box dedicated to garden and orchard irrigation is also provided. This place is perfect for paradise seekers or farming enthusiasts. (id:1945)
