Private 17-Acre Estate with Executive Home, Orchard, and Endless Potential Near Spences Bridge 8609 Merritt Spences Bridge Highway

Executive Retreat on 17 Acres

A rare chance to own a private acreage estate with space, character, and remarkable flexibility. Set between Spences Bridge and Merritt on Highway 8, this property offers the kind of setting buyers remember: quiet, sunny, scenic, and highly usable.

This custom-built home sits on approximately 17 acres across 2 titles and offers over 6,800 sq. ft. of total living space, including an unfinished basement ready for future ideas. Designed for larger households, hosting, retreat use, or country living, the home combines generous room sizes with timeless craftsmanship.

A new owner will likely want to modernize some of the finishes, but the home has been carefully maintained, remains highly functional, and offers a strong foundation to work from. It is well suited for a family estate, hobby farm, boutique B&B, wellness retreat, corporate getaway, or training centre.

Why Buyers Will Love It

This property offers more than land and square footage. It delivers a lifestyle built around privacy, room to breathe, and a strong connection to nature. The warm, dry climate is ideal for orchard growing, outdoor living, and year-round enjoyment.

The location adds major value. You are only 12 km from Spences Bridge, about 45 minutes from Merritt, roughly an hour from Kamloops, and around 3 hours from Vancouver. That makes it appealing for both full-time living and weekend escape buyers who want convenience without sacrificing seclusion.

Lifestyle and Location

The surrounding area is known for fishing, kayaking, hiking, and wildlife. Steelhead on the Thompson, trout in the Nicola, and the open rural landscape all contribute to a setting that feels restorative and active at the same time.

This is the kind of property that suits buyers who want privacy, space, and a meaningful lifestyle upgrade. It is equally compelling for someone seeking a retreat base, a working acreage, or a long-term family legacy property.

If you are looking for a distinctive acreage with quality construction, natural beauty, and real potential, this is one to see in person.
