Description
Welcome to this stunning 374-acre property near McBride, BC, nestled in the breathtaking Fraser Valley.
This land was once a thriving organic farm, but it has been left unattended for years. Now, we're on a mission to restore its former beauty, and we’d love your help to make it happen!
Join us in reviving this special property and enjoy a truly unique experience in the heart of BC’s wilderness. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is a perfect opportunity for a couple looking to escape the busyness of life, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a balanced mix of work, relaxation, and play.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
- Stunning views of the Fraser River right from the property
- Hiking and biking trails both on the property and nearby
- ATV and UTV to access property.
- Location is remote and private.
- Close proximity to McBride (30 km), Valemount (1 hour), Prince George, and Jasper (2 hours)
As a unique bonus, the passenger train passes right by the property (it’s quiet!)—offering an incredible opportunity to take a scenic round trip through world-class landscapes.
Experience off-grid living in the serene beauty of Northern BC, surrounded by mountains and the peaceful flow of the Fraser River. This is an opportunity to slow down, embrace nature, and enjoy the rewards of hard work.
You’ll work alongside us, Ian and Natasha, and get the chance to learn about sustainable living and property restoration. If you’re a Spanish speaker, we’d love to practice with you while sharing our English skills!
