The area surrounding the home is beautifully landscaped with wide lawns and circular driveway providing a protective fireguard. All large trees in the proximity of our home and power lines have been professionally topped and groomed. Several large flower beds provide a blaze of contrasting colour to nature's green. Being a rural area, it's normal to have wild animals on or near the property. Seasonal mushrooms such as morales, shaggy manes & others grow wild on the property. There is an abundance of wild berries on the property for the picking. Imagine having fishing right outside your front door!! Rainbow trout, kokanee, ling cod, and char can be caught in the lake out front. The outlying areas also abound with deer, moose and bear for the hunter. Enjoy year round sports.
