Description

Just west of Merritt along scenic Petit Creek Road, this rare 53-acre property delivers privacy, panoramic mountain views, and the freedom to live the country lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. Ideal for families, hobby farmers, or multi-generational living, the property features two separate homes, each thoughtfully positioned for independence while sharing the same breathtaking setting. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with excellent potential for an in-law suite. The second home includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, perfect for extended family, guests, or farm help. Both homes come with their own large detached shops, adding exceptional functionality for storage, projects, or equipment. The land is fenced and cross-fenced with usable pasture, a livestock shelter, and a ready-to-go chicken coop, well suited for animals, gardening, and rural pursuits. Wide-open space, big skies, and endless possibilities make this acreage a true blank canvas for your vision. All of this peaceful seclusion is just a short drive to town amenities, offering the best of both worlds: quiet country living with convenience nearby. Opportunities like this are rare. Book your private showing and experience the space, views, and potential for yourself. Call the listing agent to book your private tour or for more information. (id:63159)
