Description

**Seven adjoining and nearby Bowron Lake properties offered together—previously marketed individually and in package combinations—create a rare opportunity to secure approximately 2.8 acres of lake-country real estate near Wells, British Columbia.** This is a practical, ready-to-enjoy recreational, retirement, family-compound, or investment holding that includes a custom lakefront executive home, a cabin, sauna building, major storage space, and three vacant lots.

At the centre of the offering is a highbank Bowron Lake executive home on a private 0.97-acre double lot, complemented by a one-bedroom cabin, a sauna/storage building, three additional vacant lots, and a substantial 1,536 sq. ft. storage building. There is room here for the boat, RV, trailers, ATVs, snowmobiles, Skidoos, fishing gear, and the lifestyle that comes with owning property in the Cariboo wilderness.

A Home Built for Bowron Lake

Built by the owner in 1997, this thoughtfully constructed 2,217 sq. ft. custom home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with exceptional lake and mountain views. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows bring in natural light and frame Bowron Lake, while the south-facing deck and separate gazebo create an inviting setting for sunrise coffee, family dinners, wildlife watching, and long summer evenings.

The home has been carefully built and maintained with quality materials, professional workmanship, and licensed-trade installations. The fully insulated basement is designed for comfortable year-round use, while maple flooring, tile, carpeting, and a practical mix of propane, in-floor, and wood heat provide warmth and flexibility through every Cariboo season.

Included appliances feature a propane oven, Frigidaire fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer, and dryer.

Reliable Off-Grid Living

Enjoy the independence of off-grid living without giving up essential comforts. The property is powered by a solar inverter system with 10 high-efficiency solar panels and four 5.3 kW batteries, supported by a 9.5 kW Kubota generator in its own dedicated building.

This setup suits owners seeking a full-time rural residence, a seasonal lake retreat, or a dependable base for extended stays in the Bowron Lake area.

Cabin, Sauna and Storage

The package also includes a 489 sq. ft., one-bedroom cabin on a generous 16,552 sq. ft. lot, ideal for guests, family members, overflow accommodation, or a private recreational escape. A separate 64 sq. ft. sauna/storage building adds a classic wilderness-living touch after a day of paddling, fishing, hiking, or snowmobiling.

The 1,536 sq. ft. storage building is a major asset for anyone who values secure, dry space for an RV, boats, trailers, snowmobiles, ATVs, tools, and outdoor equipment. It adds the practicality many Bowron Lake recreational properties lack.

Space to Grow

Two vacant lots are included, giving the next owner flexibility rarely available in this established Bowron Lake setting. Hold them for the future, create additional private sites for family, explore development possibilities subject to local approvals, or enjoy the privacy and elbow room that comes from owning a larger assembled land package.

The seven parcels have previously been offered as individual listings and in different package combinations. Purchasing them together now provides an opportunity to control a substantial Bowron Lake holding with existing improvements and future potential.

Bowron Lake Lifestyle

Bowron Lake is known across British Columbia and beyond as the gateway to Bowron Lake Provincial Park and its celebrated 116 km canoe circuit. The area attracts canoeists, paddlers, anglers, hikers, wildlife enthusiasts, campers, snowmobilers, and buyers who want to experience the quiet scale of the Cariboo wilderness. 

From this property, public lake access is approximately two minutes away, making it easy to launch into a day of boating, fishing, paddling, or exploring. Reliable year-round road access supports both weekend escapes and longer stays, while the acreage and storage capacity make it easy to bring the equipment that defines your outdoor lifestyle.

Near Wells and Barkerville

Located about 30 km east of Wells, BC, this offering provides a peaceful wilderness setting with access to one of the Cariboo’s most distinctive historic and cultural regions. Wells is known for its arts community and proximity to Barkerville Historic Town & Park. At this renowned gold-rush destination, visitors can explore British Columbia’s 1860s mining history, events, theatre, and heritage experiences.[1]

Whether you envision a private family compound, an off-grid retirement home, an adventure base, or a long-term land holding near Bowron Lake Provincial Park, this seven-lot package offers the land, buildings, storage, views, and year-round access to make it possible.
