Imagine life in a carefully craſted community where life is easy, time slows down, and peace settles in like a friendly neighbor. Kokanee Lakeside RV Resort, unlike many resorts, allows you to own, not just lease, a generous site on Kootenay Lake, in southeastern British Columbia. “Tis is a very unique thing that we are doing here,”
explained Ron Juris, owner and operator of the resort. “People actually get a title. Tey don’t have to pay rent, don’t have to pay a lease; all they pay are taxes and maintenance fees to the owners association. “ Imagine the serenity that envelops you as you sit on
your deck watching bald eagles and osprey vie for prize Gerrard trout in Kootenay Lake. Perhaps the angler in you has called you out in your boat, and you too are competing for the fish. Te Gerrard Rainbow are among the largest trout in the world and are found only in Kootenay and other lakes in the area. Imagine your family splashing in the clean waters of
the lake, or slicing through it on water skis. Maybe in the aſternoon you will hike one of the many trails up to a peak
in the nearby Selkirk, Purcell or Valhalla ranges. Nestled below the stunning Kokanee Glacier, the resort
is located on the west arm of Kootenay Lake, close to the Balfour ferry. Te village of Balfour, close at hand, offers restaurants, a pub, bakery, grocery store, fire department, golf course and the Giſt & Gill for your fishing needs. Nelson, the closest sizable town, is only a 30-minute drive away. About one hour away is the closest domestic airport in Castlegar; Spokane, just four hours away, houses the nearest international airport. In only a mere fiſteen minute drive you can soak your cares away in the caves or pools at the world-class Ainsworth Hot Springs. “What we’ve created here is something really special,” Juris adds, “Being voted the 11th
best place in Canada to
visit in 2012, really sums this place up. With our beautiful marina and legendary fishing; the awe-inspiring mountain views and breathtaking scenery and wildlife, who wouldn’t want to live in this little slice of heaven? Nature at it’s best...oh, and did I mention that there are no mosquitoes?” With 46 lots, ranging in size from 1800-5000 square
feet, over 4.83 acres, this land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and will not be converted into high-density development. Once buyers move their park model
