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.
