MEET DESMOND

Desmond Arens grew up in Kamloops, spent years working on a ranch at Pritchard, and after getting married, he moved his family to the Shuswap as soon as he could.  Here he and his wife raised their three children while he worked as General Manager for his family’s business.   Sensing that the time was right for a change, Desmond completed his licensing with BCREA and now uses his extensive knowledge of the Thompson – Shuswap – Okanagan region to assist both buyers and sellers in achieving their Real Estate goals.

    90 FEET OF DEEDED LAKEFRONT WITH CABIN, PLUS ROOM TO BUILD ACROSS THE ROAD! This 1.66 acre partially wooded property stretches from the shore of Shuswap Lake, across Blind Bay Road, and all the way up to the Trans-Canada Highway! On the waterfront side of Blind Bay Road is a rustic 1959 cabin with deck, and ""bunkie"". However, the bulk of the property, which is mostly wooded, lies on the high side of the road where it slopes up toward the highway. The septic system which serves the cabin is already located here. However there is still PLENTY of room to build your Shuswap dream home, and with vegetation management it can be as private and wooded, or as open and sun-drenched as you wish! Whether you plan to build now, or in the future, this is an ideal property to enjoy as your holiday retreat, as the Sellers have done for years. Zoning allows for both a floating dock and a buoy, so you'll be all set to enjoy Shuswap Lake! Approximately half way between Calgary and Vancouver, but close to local amenities, this is an amazing location whether you plan to stay seasonally or year-round. Quick Possession is possible: You can be sitting on THIS DECK, THIS SUMMER! Snap this one up before it's gone 'cause they're not making any new Lakeshore!! (id:2493) More details

    This little 12.41 acre Farm on 2 titles and 100% in the ALR, is brimming with potential! It has been farmed in the past & is located between two working farms in the fertile East-West facing Notch Hill Valley. However, it has been tenanted for many years & both buildings & property have not been maintained to the standards the owner would have liked to see. Now it needs someone with vision to restore it to its ""former glory"". There are 2 wells & 2 ponds on the larger 7.76 acre piece of property which is also home to the residence & outbuildings & has road access. The second 4.65 acre parcel has Broderick Creek running through it & backs onto the main CPKC railway line with no road access. The home on Parcel 1 is a manufactured home on a skim-coated crawl space. It has additions providing a carport, a raised deck, a front entrance, & a back mud-room. The entire structure is sided with wood. Electrical was updated, new panel installed, & Silver Label issued in October 2024. Outbuildings include a Pumphouse (with 30 amp subpanel to run pressure tank & pump for the well that serves the house), several chicken coops, an original log shed, & a large shed with concrete ""root cellar"" beneath it. This shed has an electrical panel which is currently not hooked up. There is some fencing in various states of repair. Neighbours state that in the past, the property has been home to both sheep, and in the paddock closest to the road, ponies. Now, it awaits your ideas and inspiration. (id:2493) More details
