100 GLACIER CREEK FSR

100 Glacier Creek Forest Service Road is a unique property situated high in the Purcell's. It is the only residential property for 14kms, this 40+ acre parcel straddles Glacier Creek, providing a pure year-round water source. Nearby are world class hikes, Monica Meadows, Jumbo Glacier and MacBeth Icefields. (See here for more info https://westkootenayhiking.ca/category/trail-review/duncan-lake/). The Icefields, in all their glory, are visible from most of the possible building sites on the property. Rich with timber and historical significance, this parcel was originally a mining claim (the Elated and Surprise Mines) with 2 of the 100+ year-old cabins remaining as reminders of the past, and of possible future endeavors (with work they could become an attraction). Located on the property are 1km+ of cleared hiking/telemarking/snowshoeing trails heading to the uppermost section of the parcel. Perfectly placed for recreation, adventure tourism and lodging possibilities, this place promises back country fun and adventure. If homesteading is more your style, there is already a 10' x 8' underground root cellar in place, 75+ young fruit trees and berries bushes planted, all chosen for mountain hardiness, and almost 4 acres of cleared grassy area. Also, having had a fire burn through this deep valley last year, the property is surrounded by giant fire breaks protecting it from future wildfires. This totally off-grid once-in-a-lifetime dream property can be your place to get away from the world, or invite it in. Contact Derrick (id:4069)
