Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Bedwell Place, 2600 Sq. Ft. Vacation Rental
Bedwell was completed in the year 2000 and is located on the main highway only a few blocks from the downtown core of Tofino. Bedwell overlooks the inside waters of Clayoquot Sound and has magnificent views. Bedwell is approx. 2600 sq.ft. and contains 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 covered decks, 2 patios, 3 fireplaces and a 7 person hot tub. Bedwell exterior is west coast with cedar siding and forest green metal clad roof. The landscaping is very low maintenance and consists of shrubs and rock gardens.
The present zoning of the property is residential, however, the new official community plan of Tofino, designates the property where Bedwell is located as gateway commercial and all the properties adjacent to Bedwell are already zoned commercial. A rezone of this property would allow future expansion and add significant value. Because of the great visual exposure that Bedwell offers, it is a very good location for a commercial enterprise and it does have the potential to be rezoned for other commercial uses.
Visitors to Clayoquot Sound come from all over the world to enjoy our beautiful and unpolluted environment. Activities include whale watching, bear watching, hiking the rain forest, surfing and walking the endless sand beaches, world class fishing for salmon-halibut-trout, crabbing and dinning in Tofinos gourmet restaurants.

Canada Horse Lodge For Sale
Built on three levels to maximize views and hillside landscaping, this large home is one of the most unique in the Kootenays. At today’s wood prices, it would cost over $1,000,000.00 to rebuild just the house alone, yet the whole property is now available at close to one-half that cost. A death in the family has necessitated selling this magnificent home to some lucky family. It is situated on 3 acres of land, fully fenced with galvanized steel horse fencing that would cost $50,000.00 to replace. So, there you have it! The value, the unique design and the views few have the chance to own.

Glenora, British Columbia
Exceptional, Scenic 100 Acre Homestead
Here’s an awesome change for anyone who has had enough of the rat race. Piedmont Farm is located in Glenora, 20 kms downriver from Telegraph Creek, BC, in the remote and pristine Stikine River valley just below the Grand Canyon of the Stikine. The Stikine River flows out of BC through the Alaska panhandle at Wrangell, AK.
This 100 acre property is in a rain shadow directly behind the 10 000` coast range at 700` above sea level. The valley has hospitable weather moderated by the Pacific coastal influence, making it the Okanagan of the far north, capable of producing excellent gardens and soft-fruits. The dry open hillsides leap to 7 & 8 000` peaks and the scenery is so dramatic that John Muir called it “a Yosemite one hundred miles long”. It is difficult to appreciate the place without a visit and I encourage you to come and have a look.
This property was homesteaded in 1976 with sustainability in mind and the development on the property reflects the idea of living comfortably in the wild with a fully modern recently-renovated home, high speed wireless internet, year-round micro-hydro power, and electricity to barn, mechanic shop, and guesthouse.
The main house is 2000 sq. ft., with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a sauna, weightroom, and large office. The kitchen-livingroom is an open floor plan with new hardwood flooring and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lawns and gardens. The sauna, weightroom, laundry, and rootcellar/cold-storage areas occupy half the basement and the other half is open for wood storage, small shop space, and covered storage. The micro-hydro turbine system is backed with diesel-generated power located in a separate outbuilding.
The guesthouse is a fully serviced mobile home with large add-on. The original log homestead cabin still stands with a magnificent view of mountains and meadow. There is a campsite on the creek near the homestead cabin, which is a lovely quiet setting away from the main complex.
The farm is fenced and cross-fenced with livestock pasture and 3 barns for animals and hay storage. The hay meadow has a pond and produces good quality hay even in dry years, as it is sub irrigated from the 2 glacial-fed creeks that bound the farm on 2 sides.
If you are interested in this most remarkable property, please e-mail me at mistevens@gmail.com and I will send you a group of pictures. We are asking $338,000, which is very reasonable considering all the development on this property.

The property is perfect in every way. While currently used as an Arabian horse farm with all the required necessities there are many more opportunities waiting to be discovered.
With your own private swimming holes there is always a chance to relax swimming or sit on the riverbank and watch otters, beaver, and mother ducks. The property has a natural spring that produces around six gallons a minute of some of the best tasting water. The views from any place on the property are spectacular, whether sitting in the back yard watching the elk play with your horses or walking through the fields and looking at the mountains. In the fall we spend time watching the salmon spawn.
This place is steeped in history. The home was originally homesteaded in 1914, with potatoes grown here winning 2nd place in the Chicago world fair in around 1932. The valley is about 10 miles long with the ocean only 15 minutes away where we often have gone prawning and salmon fishing. In the fall there is a great mushroom picking places.

Asking Price: $565,000 CAD (Negotiable)
ONLY $565,000 CAD

The Resort itself is 17 acres with over 1650 feet of waterfront and is the only property on the lake. You and your guests have exclusive access to Finger Lake. Guests have a choice of four rustic, cozy, lakeside log cabins located on the shoreline of Finger Lake, one large cottage or one of the 12 RV sites.

Finger Lake Wilderness Resort is an established business with excellent repeat customer base.
Our drinking water is supplied by fresh water well and we have it tested monthly at the British Columbia Center for Disease Control in Vancouver, B.C. The septic system has been certified by a soil-engineering firm from Prince George, as well as the local Government Health Inspector from Vanderhoof.
The Power System is a generator, inverter, and battery system. Energy is stored in 12 - 2-volt battery cells with a Trace Inverter managing the system. The batteries each weigh 250 lbs (fork-lift style) and were purchased in January of 2005. They have life expectance of 10 years. The main generator is a 10KW Deutz 2 cylinder diesel. The backup generator is a seldom-used 2-3 years old 10kw Miller arc welder, and runs on gasoline. They are both wired into the Trace Inverter with a simple A-B switch. The Deutz generator electrical portion was rewound in October 2003 and Engine Rebuilt January 2006.
Finger Lake is approximately 5.6 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, (9 kms x 5.5 kms), 877 hectares in area and over 20 miles of shoreline. There are many sheltered bays and 4 islands to explore, have a picnic, fish or just enjoy the view. A boat & motor is recommended to cruise our scenic lake for wildlife viewing and nature photography or you can take a 2 Km canoe ride up Finger Creek for a peaceful, serene experience.
Finger Lake rewards the anglers with wild rainbow trout to 5 pounds, kokanee salmon, and a very high catch frequency of tasty pan fry’s to 2 pounds. This area is blessed with great fishing opportunities giving the clients the opportunity of making Finger Lake their Base Camp to fish the surrounding Lakes – Arthur, Tatuk, Lavoie, Hay, Secord, Glutien, Dutien, Knewstubb, Hobson, Chief Grey (Bitch), Citcuta (Rum Cache), Lucas, Chutanli, Kuyakuz and the head waters of the Nechako Rivers at Cheslatta falls. For the more adventurous, there are 3 waterfalls in the area and many hiking trails.
In the fall there is hunting for white tail deer, mule deer, black bear, and moose. Finger Lake is at the junction of 4 Management Units and the resort is very busy at this time of year We are located in management unit (MU) 7-11, and at the junction of 7-11, 7-12, 6-1 & 5-13, giving the resident hunter every option for great moose hunting. All of the MU’s of course have a limited entry hunt (LEH) option for resident hunters, but 7-11, and 7-12 also have an open season for Immature Bull Hunts and Cow LEH. Calf is also open in 7-11 & 7-12. We then have the open bull moose week in late October in MU’s 6-1 & 6-4.
The Finger-Tatuk Provincial Park was created in 1999 and we were issued a 30-year Park Permit which is renewable in June of 2029. It is not unusual for resorts in BC to have a lease or park permit. The Provincial Government is very business orientated and supportive towards tourism operators. They hope to have more tourism accommodation in other BC Parks by the 2010 Olympics.
