Property
Description... Offered
for sale is truly one of the most beautiful parcels of land in the
entire Not
being in The
views from this property are truly beyond description. No words can
capture the beauty of this panoramic view. It seems to have a beginning and no end. Looking to the south one
sees the large, yet gentle This
very beautiful 153 acre parcel has a wonderful mix of meadows and
plateaus that will be fantastic for whatever you decide, whether that be
a golf course, clustering of homes or cottages or simply fenced for your
horses. Fresh water springs flow out of the ground and there is a small
year round creek that flows through the center of the property. This
property borders crown land on both the east and north sides which allow
access to unlimited trails just waiting for you to explore. It is an
unlimited playground for hiking, ATVing or snowmobiling. Well know among
snowmobilers is Hunters
Range, a
beautiful snowy bowl and play area that is usually accessed from the
other side of the mountain. Neighbors have boasted that it is an
incredibly beautiful trip that can be accessed from this property. Whether
you would like to go for a swim, play on the beach, take the family on a
picnic or put your boat in the water, this is all possible just seconds
down the road. The very beautiful Mara A
short walk, bike ride or seconds away by car takes you to the most
picturesque and tranquil park where the beach is clean and the water
inviting. The park has been left natural and you will be surrounded by
old growth cedars. The lush green grassy picnic area overlooking the
lake is a great area to play on. The boat launch is all concrete and the
incline to the water is very gentle complete with a large parking area
for your vehicle and trailer. Zoning... The Regional District of the North Okanagan, out of Vernon, is the governing body for this area. Their Official Community Plan for the above property shows a Country Residential designation. The Country Residential zoning could accommodate approximately 25 Country Residential Lots. The acreages could range in size from two and a half acres to seven and a half acres. This may or may not be the best usage for the property. One may wish to entertain a higher density for such a large piece of land. Many of the roads have been roughed in and you can drive a car through much of the property. The property has its own gravel deposits which can be a massive cost savings when it comes to road construction. With
respect to a group purchase, the property under the present zoning
allows three homes of any size and a cottage not to exceed 807 square
feet. With a simple two lot subdivision, also under the present zoning,
as long as each has a minimum of 55 acres this would allow for six homes
of any size and two cottages. Get your friends together. Price... Offered
for sale at a price of $3,000,000.00, this is truly a one of a kind
property with incredible potential for a five star development, a
holding property or group purchase. About
the Seller... I
know this property intimately for I purchased it in 1974 when I was just
19 years old. It has been in my family for almost one third of a century
and now needs to be shared and enjoyed by many. Six
and a half years ago I was a passenger in a very serious and fatal motor
vehicle accident. Unfortunately,
it is beyond my new abilities to take my dreams for this property any
further, so I must sell in hopes that someday this property can be
enjoyed by many. Assistance
in the financing or staying in as a partner is an option I may also
consider. I
am, humbly, very proud of this land. It would be my pleasure to show you
this property and assist you in any way I can. Sincerely,

Mara...(pop. 350) The small community of Mara is located on the Shuswap River in the Shuswap region of British Columbia, enjoying a gentle climate, relaxed lifestyle, and abundant recreational and cultural activities. The Shuswap and Okanagan areas are havens for boaters and vacationers looking for a summer holiday on the water. Mara Provincial Park... Just north of Mara is a 5.9-hectare park situated on the eastern shores of Mara Lake. The park is strictly a day-use area, but offers a variety of recreational activities. The park has a beautiful broad stretch of sandy beach and is popular for fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, water sports, and picnicking. Rosemond Lake Situated at the south end of Mara Lake is Rosemond Lake. This small lake is bordered on the east by farmland and on the west by woodland and a recreation reserve. Access to the lake is by canoe or row boat under the railway trestle from Mara Lake; motorboats are not allowed. Rosemond Lake is popular with birdwatchers, as it is the home of eagles, osprey, geese, swans, ducks, and loons. There is a lovely beach with user-maintained picnic tables, toilet facilities, and tent-only camping. Grindrod...(pop. 1,497) South of Mara is the small farming village of Grindrod, located on the west bank of the Shuswap River. Set in peaceful and rural surroundings, Grindrod is full of country charm with a storybook setting; a popular destination with visitors. Sicamous...(pop. 3,192) Northeast of Mara on Highway 97A is the town of Sicamous, situated at the junction of the Shuswap and Mara Lakes in the Eagle Valley. The community of Sicamous is known as the Houseboat Capital of Canada, due to the more than three hundred houseboats that are rented out annually from the marinas on Shuswap Lake. The real estate market has been a hotbed of activity for the last couple of years with prices dramatically rising. Several new developments are in the works and the town continues to “boom”. Vernon...(pop. 35,944) The
City of Vernon is 45 minutes drive south of Mara where
you travel through the beautiful lush farming communities of Enderby and
Armstrong. In
