Waterfront property for sale in Nelson, B.C.: on lake

It's rare to find a quiet, park-like property with lakefront and a creek only five minutes from the city. At Stonewood, you get a 2,700-square-foot lake house plus a quaint 600-square-foot cabin for guests, a granny cottage, or as a rental revenue generator. As its name implies, the homes uses natural materials -- no pressed board or plastic here!

The lakehouse is best described as elegant rustic: granite countertops, stone tiles, and beefy post and beam features, travertine marble bath, solid hardwood floors, and 3/4-inch tongue and groove interior walls and ceilings. Top quality throughout, the tone is casual, not decor that you need to worry about scratching. Stonewood was designed to be lived in, a retreat to solitude and as a spacious entertainment spot. There are four buildings in addition to the house and cabin: a workshop, gardening shed, and two new post and beam carports. 



New sky-lit entry and triple laminate presidential shake roofing

No expense was spared in recent renovations that saw the entire roof removed and replaced with new rafters, new decking, more insulation, flow-through ventilation to keep things cool in summer and warm in winter. The beefy post and beam arched entry frames the solid cedar door and creek-stones are everywhere. Entry planters are galvanized steel boxes filled with lush hostas.

THE FLOORPLAN: There are 15 rooms: 4 bedrooms, entertainment room, two full baths, dining room, kitchen, large foyer, wineroom, sunrooms up and down, office, and a large walk-in closet off the master bedroom. The entire lower floor is now used as the master suite.

The property is about 450 feet long from highway to the lake and varies in width since the westerly lot-line follows the creek. Width ranges from about 70-150 feet.  See "Location" page for lot map on website: www.nelsonwaterfront.net
