Description

Tucked away in the heart of Nakusp, this charming little cabin offers the perfect blend of convenience and lifestyle. Ideally located right across the street from the campground and ball fields, with the beach, park, and waterfront just a couple of blocks away, you truly are within walking distance of everything Nakusp has to offer. Broadway Street’s shops, restaurants, and amenities are only a short stroll from your doorstep, while the school field sits just half a block away — making this an unbeatable location for full-time living, a vacation getaway, or future development potential. Set back from 8th Avenue and partially hidden behind mature trees, the cozy 1-bedroom cabin feels surprisingly private and peaceful. Inside, the current owners have thoughtfully utilized the space with a pull-out couch in the living room to accommodate extra guests. Outside, you’ll love the large sunny deck, firepit area, woodshed, and additional storage shed and fruit trees — all creating the perfect setting for relaxing summer evenings and easy outdoor living. A brand-new privacy fence is also being installed along one side of the property, adding even more seclusion and value. Priced very well, this property presents an incredible opportunity to own an affordable vacation cottage in one of the Kootenays’ most beloved lake communities. The lot offers room to build another dwelling while keeping the existing cabin as a guest house or carriage home, making this a smart investment with endless potential. Whether you’re looking for a simple, low-maintenance getaway, a place to live while you build your dream home, or an income-generating property, this sweet little cabin is packed with possibilities.

5/9 categories nearby

Transit

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
