One acre off-grid paradise! This historic property was once the site of the Pioneer School, the first grade
school in the Bralorne area, and borders the `ghost` townsite of Pioneer. A year round creek flows through
the property and the flat bench accomodates (currently) three cabins and new stone and log roundhouse,
in the `natural home` style that has become so popular. Although not yet a business, the opportunity is
there for the taking. A turn-key cabin rental or campground concept or possibly outdoor school or
corporate retreat? Or just shared among family or hunting buddies. This beautiful property has
something for everyone and anyone who loves the great Canadian outdoors. Gated and secure, you wll
rarely hear or see anyone, except deer, moose, bear, marten, wolverine(!) and other creatures of nature.
Outside the town of Bralorne, the last property on highway 40. It is situated above the Cadwallader river
and directly above the original Pioneer mine site, and home of Canada`s biggest gold camp. Outdoor
recreation options are endless in all seasons, but the area is famous for winter sports. Backcountry
skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing are hugely popular. 4 wheeling, mountain biking and motorcycing fills
the summer months. It`s a beatiful place with incredible history and just 2 hours north of Whistler via the
Hurley rouad or the Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver. The area is enjoying a huge uptick in interest
and property rates are climbing fast due the proximity to Whistler; one of the few remaining affordable
places along the lower west coast. The cabins are typically rustic and include woodstoves, kitchens with
cold and hot water, outhouse toilets and common outdoor kitchen. There are two hottubs and a sauna as
well as to ponds to plunge into if you dare. The main home is a wonder of frugality and ingenuity; built of
stones from the mine and logs culled from the property, it is roughly 1500 sq/ft in an oval shape It has an
EPDM rubber roof membrane (to accomodate a living roof) , a full bathroom with septic system, propane
and wood heat and a 4000 watt solar array. A lrge battery bank and several inverters complete the power
system so that it`s nearly like being connected to the grid; without the bills! Buy it and forget it! The
yearly taxes are just $200.00 ca. The revenue possibilities make this deal a sure bet.
