I just finished uploading this House for sale, 17058 Pilot Bay Road, Kootenay Bay, British Columbia
Where Dreams are Born this is the name given to the 30 ft. family totem pole that welcomes you at the front of this lovingly handcrafted, custom-built 3 level waterfront home on Kootenay Lake. The hand-made wood paneling and spiral staircase show precision craftsmanship, and every rock in the hand-fitted stone exterior has a story to tell. You will want to take your time to appreciate all the fine details. The main floor contains the kitchen, dining and living areas. You will linger in the living room with its vaulted ceilings, custom stained glass, and cozy wood stove backed by a rock mantle. A large deck off the living room showcases the stunning lake views and a summer kitchen extends your living space. The oak spiral staircase leads up to a large master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a shared ensuite with a Jacuzzi. Two additional bedrooms and a half-bathroom round out the upper floor. The bottom level has an additional kitchen area, wine cellar, a workshop and ample storage. Guests can stay in the separate, octagonal cabin with a bathroom and small cooking area. Winding stone steps lead you to ponds, a fire pit and an orchard. This unique home comes with a woodshed, greenhouse, large carport and roadway parking big enough for a RV. The lakeside boat-lift makes launching easy. Nearby are hotsprings, golf courses, an artisan colony and a free ferry to Nelson. If you are searching for a special place, this property may be where your dreams are born.
