About this neighbourhood

Buyers wanting large acreage, privacy, river or creek frontage and crown-land access

This area suits buyers who want land at a scale that is hard to find nearer the lake, and who are comfortable with a remote lifestyle.

Several listings mention solar power, wells, minimal cell service or off-grid features. Check what is actually installed and its condition.

Many parcels are in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), not the RDOS. Servicing, zoning and bylaws differ; one listing notes that its parcel is unzoned and outside the ALR, which you should confirm.
