Description
My husband and I live in Vancouver and have 22 acres of beautiful, private land at the north arm of Shuswap Lake in the interior of British Columbia. The property is off the grid with natural artesian spring water and hydro and solar power. It is a perfect place to enjoy nature and wildlife.... bears, deer, mouse, bald eagles, etc. You can enjoy swimming, hiking, fishing, campfires etc. from the doorstep.
