A beautiful property and historic hunting lodge in B.C.'s Rocky Mountains are selling for about the same as a house in Kitsilano.
While Beaverfoot Lodge is nowhere near the hustle and bustle of Vancouver, it's also nowhere near any of the hustle and bustle of Vancouver. How much one might like the location really depends on how much one likes people.
Generally, the property is located southeast of Golden, in a Rocky Mountain valley virtually empty of humans, where the Beaverfoot River winds between Clawson Peak and Coral Mountain. The nearest neighbour is about 10 km away (and that's another relatively remote accommodation).
"The Beaverfoot River meanders through the property, which also features a man-made lake," reads the listing on REW.
The lodge was built in 1927, accommodating hunters and outdoors people for decades; it's still used as such, even hosting weddings on occasion, with Yoho National Park offering a backdrop.
More recently, it was part of the proposed Eightfold Mountain Village. The property (162 acres over four lots) would have been turned into 67 lots tucked away in the valley with a new hotel, spa, and event centre.
It seems that the idea has fallen apart.
"Sharply priced to sell immediately! Court ordered sale," reads the real estate listing.
The property is being sold for just under $4 million.
"This expansive 162-acre property offers an unparalleled development opportunity," reads the listing.
