Lay of the Land
This expansive property splits naturally into two distinct geographic sections: The Plateau and the Basin.
In the Basin, a potential 15-acre parcel overlooks open forest and grassland terrain. The land slopes down toward the grassy valley and charming rural hamlet below. Situated along Horsethief road, the Basin section provides quick access into the quiet valley community of Wilmer.
The west side of the Plateau overlooks Wilmer Lake and boasts stunning mountain views. Meanwhile, the east side of the Plateau comprises rich moss-covered forest and lush wetlands. This portion of the plateau borders the Columbia National Wildlife Area to the northeast. Gazing out over the marsh, you can also spot Eagle Island, home to a family of nesting eagles.
Water, Electricity, and Frontage Road Access
The Basin section lies along 0.35 miles of Horsethief Road to the south, which leads into the town of Wilmer to the east. Horsethief Road also has electricity maintained by BC Hydro.
Westside Road cuts through the northeast corner of the property (along the Plateau), providing 675 feet of additional road and electricity access.
Both gravel roads are managed and maintained by the Department of Transportation, which provides new gravel bi-annually, pre- and post-winter.
The property is sourced with an individual well.
Wildlife & Adventure
Columbia Valley is home to a wide array of wildlife, including big game like the Bighorn Sheep that inhabit Radium Hot Springs to the north, as well as grizzlies, black bear, whitetail deer, and mule deer. Deer are especially prevalent in this area, and you can spot them freely grazing throughout the property
Trumpeter swans, eagles, and many species of ducks and other waterfowl take refuge within Columbia National Wildlife Area.
Wilmer Lake is well stocked with fish and ready for you to drop a line or fly fish (with a permit). No motorized boats are permitted on the lake to preserve the serenity of the area. However, kayaks, SUP boards, canoes, and the like are welcome. The nearby Columbia River that runs along the conservation area also offers fishing for several species of trout.
Columbia Valley is surrounded by the majestic peaks and ridges of the Rockies. Take your pick of hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling adventures among countless mountains. Panorama Mountain Resort is just around the corner as one of the closest skiing, hot pool, hiking, and golfing destinations. Panorama is massive, with ten ski lifts and 120 named trails to explore.
Mountain biking is also a popular activity around here. You can find a range of easy to technical biking trails within the property and almost any nearby park or trailhead.
