    SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH RARE 90 FEET OF DEEDED LAKESHORE!! Stretching from the shore of Shuswap Lake up to the Trans-Canada Highway, this 1.66 acre property is a ""diamond in the rough"" awaiting your ideas. If your goal is to spend this summer on the beach and in the water, you can make that happen here. There's a vintage 1959 1 Bed / 1 Bath Cabin with a 96 sq ft ""Bunkie"" and a raised deck. Both cabin and bunkhouse received a new roof in September 2025. Zoning allows for both a floating dock and a buoy. If your goal is to build your lake-view dream home surrounded by mature trees for privacy, that is also possible on the larger portion of the property on the high side of Blind Bay Road. (Then maybe the cabin could become your ""tiki bar"" on the beach side). For the discerning Buyer wishing to invest in creating a beautiful lake-side lifestyle, this property is well worth a look.
