LUXURY Executive Home

     The 3400 square foot executive home is a sight to behold.  Commanding scenes of the Lake endure at every window and secluded balcony.  The “open concept” vaults up to 25 feet in this artisan built, custom timber frame masterpiece. Hand hewn local timbers, cathedral white-pine ceilings, quarter-sawn fir doors, sparkling Tiffany stained-glass light fixtures, three washrooms with floor to ceiling tile, an oversized loft with a sizable wet bar, custom cherry wood kitchen, thoughtful architectural detailing and conscientious professional design, make this one of the most impressive properties on Kootenay Lake.

Live in wilderness comfort or lease nightly for $110,000 annually (60 % occupancy) or monthly for $54,000+ per year.

Rare BEACHFRONT LIVING with PROVEN Income

     Enjoy living in wilderness comfort while proven income handily covers the mortgage.  Accommodation in the multi-residential suites or multifamily monthly rental revenues, plus commercial lease space or multifamily make living the dream possible.  And the revenues are far from maximized.  You can easily grow the current numbers with minimal expense and effort.  The hard work is already done.

Location, Location...

     Simply the best location on Kootenay Lake - a destination resort near the Kootenay Lake Ferry Terminal that loads and unloads hundreds of thousands of passengers each year.  Add the highway frontage, watercraft traffic, regional demographics, high tourist volume, world-class attractions, local trading area, and you get a guaranteed, diverse customer base.

 

NOTE:  The BC Government has announced an exciting several million dollar upgrade to the Balfour Ferry Landing next door that will contribute significantly to future value for the property.  Construction of a new ferry is also in the works.

 

Proven Track Record -

GROWING Sales

     It's turn key.  With over 70 years of business history, the site is a proven money generator.  Until recent owner lifestyle changes, gross revenues sustained increases of more than 10% annually, and net increased substantially more.  Projected rental revenues show an easy 8 to 13 percent rate of return.  Purchase the restaurant (a separate offering) and watch those numbers soar.

 

Untapped POTENTIAL

     Easily grow your earnings from untapped accommodation and commercial lease opportunities.   The current owners chose lifestyle.  With some motivation the accommodation return goes from a good to exceptional.

Easy to Rent with

Near Zero Vacancy

The Nelson Kootenay Lake area boasts an extremely tight accommodation and rental market with a near zero vacancy rate - 0.7 percent in October 2017, Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation.   Commercial vacancy is also low, at about 2 percent.

 

Listed LOWER than Replacement Cost

      To rebuild the 11,000 sq. ft. custom timberframe structure, install utilities,  add in the 1.2 acre lakefront lot, newly paved parking, new dock, plus the duplex, and your replacement cost is over $5 million. The entire investment is priced to sell at $2.95 million.

 

And MORE

     With passive revenues at a quarter million and more active revenues pushing $400,000, mortgage specialists indicate the buyer may qualify for a mortgage with an investment as low as 35% of the property value or a commercial loan at 50%.

     The low Canadian dollar means greater buying power for foreign investors, about $2.25 million USD

(Aug 2018).

     The BC Provincial Nominee Program and other programs can expedite immigration into Canada.
