3526 Island Pond Road, Skookumchuck V0B2E0

Discover the perfect balance of Kootenay history and modern privacy on Island Pond Road. This rectangular 10.1-acre estate honours its roots as part of the historic ""Springbrook"" settlement, near Premier Lake, BC, offering a ""forested curtain"" at the road that opens into a sun-drenched mountain retreat. The updated 1979-era home is designed to celebrate the sunrise, with new laminate flooring flowing through an open kitchen, dining, and living area—all oriented toward breathtaking Rocky Mountain views. Step out from the dining room onto the balcony for al-fresco meals, or relax inside while watching the skies throughout the day. The main floor features 2 bedrooms and a 4-piece bath/laundry combo, while the lower walk-out level offers additional bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, a rec room with a pool table, and cold storage. For the hobbyist, this property is a powerhouse. The attached garage features a repair pit and ample storage, supported by a massive 400-amp service—ideal for heavy tools or future projects. Outside, a greenhouse awaits your garden, while a vintage workshop at the property’s edge whispers of the area’s storied past. Complete with a private well and septic, this is more than a home; it’s a self-sufficient lifestyle 45 years in the making. Come sit, watch the world go by, and claim your piece of the East Kootenays. (id:66934)
