1012 Raft River Road

This picturesque 7 acres in beautiful Clearwater, B.C. is a perfect start up or retirement home and could easily be set up for a bed and bale home business for some extra income.  It is situated at the foot of Wells Gray Provincial Park, an area well known for hiking, riding, camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and cross country skiing.  The main home features a 13 x 17 living room with 3 walls of large picture windows affording natural light with beautiful mountain and valley views.  The WET inspected fire place keeps the home warm throughout the winter, with an updated in 2014 propane furnace as backup.  Both bathroom and kitchen have been renovated and ceramic tile runs throughout the lower rooms.  The main bedroom is on the main floor and there are two small finished loft rooms upstairs.  A small front porch, recently glassed in, works perfectly as a starter greenhouse for the gardener in the family.  The main entrance features a new combination mud room and home office area.  The basement has a sleeping area, propane furnace, front load washer, dryer and freezer.  All appliances have been purchased since 2007 and will be left with the property.  Only 4k from the town centre, we are on the town un-metered water system and within the Clearwater Fire Protection Zone.  The roof was re-done July 2014, fencing on the upper acreage was re-done in the fall of 2012 and the lower fencing was re-done in 2010.  New wiring has been run out to the main barn, the tack room and the five bay machine shed.  A new frost free stand pipe provides year around water for livestock.  The top three acres has a riding ring, 4 corrals as well as many outbuildings, including: an insulated garage converted into a guest bunk house with its’ own satellite TV system, and a small workshop at one end that leads out to a covered open sided wood shed; a five bay fir beam machine shed; a 16’ x 16’ tack room; a four stall 33’ x 28’ hip roof barn with hay storage up top; in and out shed in one of the corrals and a small 12’ x 10’ log building.  All buildings are on cement footings.  The front yard has apple, pear, and plum trees, as well as caragana and lilacs that bloom throughout the spring season bringing the arrival of hummingbirds and large bumble bees. The lower four acres have several natural springs which keep those pastures green and lush all year round, and feed a small pond which annually hosts, to name a few, a family of mallard ducks, red tailed hawks, owls, a couple of species of woodpeckers, and many other birds and wildlife.   This could be a great investment property as a rental as there are few rentals in this community and I have received a lot of interest from potential renters.
