The Property

Priced BELOW ASSESSED VALUE! With a combined total of nearly 2,600 sq ft (911 sq ft currently unfinished), this private 5-acre property offers space, flexibility, and future potential just 15 minutes from both Salmon Arm and Enderby. Set well back from the road, and surrounded by mature trees, you'll enjoy the kind of privacy that's available at this property. The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features metal siding and metal roof, 2x6 construction, vaulted cedar ceilings (in living room), many updated vinyl windows, 200-amp service, and extensive deck space. A pellet stove insert provides efficient heating, supplemented by electric baseboards when needed. The partially unfinished basement currently offers abundant storage and future possibilities, including potential suite development. Zoning allows for a single-family dwelling + secondary dwelling, and secondary suite, creating excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or future expansion (buyer to verify with RDNO). There are also potential locations to build a shop. The heavily treed acreage provides a beautiful natural setting and may offer timber value. Selective tree removal could also improve views of the valley below. A new hot water tank is included and can be installed prior to possession. This is a rare opportunity to secure a Private Acreage with development potential, room to grow, and ultimate privacy. (id:63761)

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.
