District Lot 11005, Kootenay Land District, Except Plan 9709 PID – 012-504-947. Under the 2007 Property Assessment, this property was classified as Residential. The property consists of 108 acres with approximately 2,800 ft of waterfront on the Upper Arrow Lake 2 km south of Halcyon Hot Springs. The property is naturally subdivided by Highway 23 with 21 acres residing west of the highway (and bounded on the west by the Arrow Lakes) and the remainder (87 acres) is east of the highway. The property includes access to Blonden’s Point which was formerly part of the property before the water level in the Arrow Lakes was raised as a consequence of dam construction in the 1960’s. Blonden’s Point could be reacquired for the property in an application to the Province of BC for Beach Rights. The Point is covered by high water during the summer period, but is exposed for at least 8 months during the remainder of the year. Below I have included some links to Google Map which shows the property location.The map address below shows the white gravel point of Blonden's Point just above and to the left of the lower Highway 23 road marker. The property extends north from there to approximately the recently logged portion (shade of green shift) denoting the adjoining property. The property also extends some distance south of the point. The slider to the left of the map can be used to expand the location to show where the property is located in relation to regional towns and highways. http://www.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&q=&z=13&ll=50.512444,-117.90493&spn=0.046939,0.1157&t=h&om=1(click or paste the whole URL into your web browser) The map below shows a more detailed version of the property with its access road on the northern boundary clearly visible (1 inch long grey line) above the upper Highway 23 marker. The access road ends up on the property, but starts on the easement portion of the neighbouring property. The eastern boundary of the property is just on the other side of the grey line which represents the old Highway 23. http://www.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&q=&z=16&ll=50.504611,-117.901325&spn=0.005868,0.014462&t=h&om=0(click or paste the whole URL into your web browser). Spectacular view property with glacier covered peaks of Mt.Thor and Mt. Oden rising from the opposite lakeshore. The property is fully treed with very old second growth (at least 100 years). Drinking water is available from various year-round freshwater springs that occur on the property. Electricity, high speed internet and phone lines run along Highway 23. Precedent for subdivision has been set by the neighbouring property to the north where all the 2.5 acre lots have sold out (for about $255,000 each). Good Fishing very close for rainbow trout, kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) and the yellow fin and Gerrard trout (which grow to over 20 pounds). The portion of the lakeside portion of the property closest to the highway has a continuous slope underlain by bedrock. The soil depth increases to a much greater extent where the property flattens out closer to the lakeshore. At the Blonden Point portion of the property there is easy level access to an extensive pebble/boulder beach. When the rock point is exposed, it affords a natural shelter for boats from storms. This was the original reason why this property was acquired in the 1930’s by my grandfather Syd Leary. The Blonden's Point is the only region where a marina could potentially be established for the area.The remaining 87 acres above the Highway 23 is bounded on the east side by the old Highway 23 that has been abandoned for many years. The two highways are connected by a logging road about 2 km south of the property. The distance along this access road from the main highway to the top of the property is 4km. The connector road was originally constructed by Pope and Talbot (a regional logging company) and has been trenched in one spot to discourage public access, since there is no longer any logging activity in this area. The property is quite steep and levels out at the top in a large bluff which offers a very unique perspective of the whole region. The bluff on the upper portion of the property enables a 140 degree view of the lake and surrounding mountains and is very quiet and secluded. No traffic noise is audible from the highway below. A year round stream runs through this upper portion of the property and could potentially supply water to residences on a gravity feed basis. In addition, subsurface testing may indicate access to hot spring water by drilling. There are 6 natural hot springs within an 8 km radius of this property. Drilling for hot water is a distinct possibility. Bruce Gunn (250-352-6665) of the Regional District for Central Kootenay indicated the property is zoned R3 - rural residential with 5 acre minimum lot size. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
