Prepare to be captivated by the awe-inspiring vistas of the majestic Selkirk Mountains and the serene Kootenai River Valley below. As seasons unfold, the landscape transforms: vibrant canola fields burst into yellow bloom during early summer, while hop fields change hue almost weekly. Come fall, the tamarack trees create a golden spectacle as they shed their needles. In winter, the Selkirk peaks wear a pristine snow blanket.
The property offers underground power and phone lines, with high-speed internet readily available along the well-maintained gravel road. Water concerns are alleviated by the presence of numerous reliable wells in the vicinity.
Secluded and nestled near the road’s end, this property exudes privacy. Smugglers Lane is just minutes from Porthill, where you’ll find a public boat launch on the Kootenai River, the Eckhart International Airport (a small gravel airstrip), and the Post Office. Also at Porthill is the Canadian border crossing, inviting you to explore Creston, BC—a haven of shopping, restaurants, and wineries.
The area surrounding Porthill teems with diverse wildlife, both large and small. Notably, the micro-climate here sustains fruit trees and lush gardens, making it an ideal setting for those seeking a harmonious blend of nature and comfort.
