The Property

Hobby Farm - 3135 Edes Road debuts on the MLS for the first time, offering a rare 3.21-acre heritage estate that perfectly balances historical charm with immediate income potential. At the heart of this expansive property is a 2300+-square-foot character farmhouse built in 1918, featuring six spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms. While the home retains its timeless ""bones"" and serves as a magnificent canvas for restoration, it has been thoughtfully updated with a brand-new furnace and fresh paint throughout, ensuring comfort while you bring your vision to life. The utility of this acreage is unmatched, featuring a 30x30 shop complemented by an attached, renovated suite that currently generates $1,000 per month. Adding to the property's incredible ROI is a separate mobile home on-site, providing an additional $1,500 in monthly rental income. This $2,500 total monthly revenue offers a significant hedge against mortgage costs while you enjoy the pastoral lifestyle. The grounds are a gardener’s paradise, with established fruit trees and over 1.15 acres of prime useable farmland for sustainable living, all situated less than 15 minutes from the amenities of downtown Salmon Arm. Whether you are looking for a multi-generational family compound, a high-yield investment, or hobby farm with a head start on modernization, 3135 Edes Road is a standout heritage opportunity.

Local Due Diligence & Property Realities

Daily experience varies significantly by neighbourhood. The downtown and harbourfront core offers genuine walkability with local shops and dining, but higher-elevation neighbourhoods like Hillcrest or Raven shift toward vehicle dependency and distinct winter challenges. Because of elevation change, hillside neighbourhoods often receive substantially more snow than lake-level areas. While upland districts offer larger lots and proximity to schools, they require comfort with steep winter commutes and the necessity of private snow clearing on steep driveways. The city's urban boundaries are tightly constrained by protected Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) farmland, creating a reality where modern subdivisions sit directly adjacent to active agricultural operations. Residents must navigate "Right to Farm" provisions, which prioritize agricultural production — meaning seasonal smells, noise, and dust from farming operations are a practical consideration.
