The Property

SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH RARE 90 FEET OF DEEDED LAKESHORE!! Stretching from the shore of Shuswap Lake up to the Trans-Canada Highway. If your goal is to spend this summer on the beach and in the water, you can make that happen here. There's a vintage 1959 1 Bed / 1 Bath Cabin with a 96 sq ft ""Bunkie"" and a raised deck. Both cabin and bunkhouse received a new roof in September 2025. Zoning allows for both a floating dock and a buoy. If your goal is to build your lake-view dream home surrounded by mature trees for privacy, that is also possible on the larger portion of the property on the high side of Blind Bay Road. (Then maybe the cabin could become your ""tiki bar"" on the beach side). For the discerning Buyer wishing to invest in creating a beautiful lake-side lifestyle, this property is well worth a look.

Local Area Context • Blind Bay

Living in Blind Bay

A primarily residential waterfront enclave functioning as a leisure-oriented satellite to Salmon Arm, defined by a resort-like atmosphere and reliance on private rural services.

Local Due Diligence & Property Realities

Infrastructure in Blind Bay presents a significant departure from urban standards. There are no municipal water or sewer systems; instead, the community relies on a fragmented patchwork of private utilities, small community water systems, and individual wells. Wastewater is managed through private septic systems, which represent a significant long-term financial liability and require strict maintenance protocols. The lack of local urgent care means medical emergencies create a "cost of distance" requiring travel to the regional hospital in Salmon Arm. Winter brings a sharp reduction in activity as seasonal residents depart. The north-facing orientation of the bay means homes receive less winter sun compared to the north shore of the lake. Provincial road maintenance prioritizes the Trans-Canada Highway over residential cul-de-sacs and side roads, so residents in higher-elevation areas must often manage their own snow removal.
