Contact seller directly through the PropertyGuys.com listing below for details. Positioned on a gently sloping 4.518-acre parcel along Highway 16 in Topley, BC, this property at 21554 Topley Post Office Road offers a versatile rural retreat ideal for fishing and hunting enthusiasts. Located 30 km east of Houston, known as the steelhead capital of the world, and 50 km west of Burns Lake, near Babine Lake’s trophy rainbow trout, lake trout, and sockeye salmon, the area abounds with wildlife, including moose, deer, elk, grizzly, and black bears. The property, featuring nine buildings, is zoned C1, supporting small-scale agricultural activities like raising chickens and rabbits (available with the sale) and small businesses such as egg or rabbit sales, though horses and cows are not permitted. The asking price is $245,000 (reduced from $300,000), open to offers, with owner financing available at 5% interest with a substantial down payment due to C1 zoning restrictions on traditional mortgages. The centerpiece is a recently renovated early 20th-century 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home built on a cement basement with 2x4 insulated framing. The main floor includes a spacious farm-style kitchen with 27 feet of new countertops, a new stainless steel fridge and stove, a living room, dining room, main bedroom, and a bathroom with a new sink and toilet. Upstairs features a second bedroom, a cozy study suitable for additional sleeping, a locking gun storage area, and access to eaves for storage. The basement contains the third bedroom, a laundry room with a new stainless steel washer and dryer, a new hot water tank, a 2-year-old propane furnace, an insulated food storage room, a dry goods storage room with canning supplies, and a backup wood stove. Renovations include new indoor and outdoor paint, new LED lighting, and new flooring in the main bedroom, bathroom, and upstairs. The home is fully furnished, with all small appliances and household goods included, ready for immediate move-in. The sale also includes a 24-inch Toro self-propelled snow blower, a 24-inch self-propelled lawn mower, an electric wood splitter, a chainsaw, and all garden tools. The property’s nine buildings enhance its functionality: - A 28 x 34 ft heated shop on a cement foundation with a vehicle maintenance pit, an unfinished loft, and an attached cold house for curing meat. - A 14 x 18 ft log barn with a loft. - A 9 x 18 ft chicken coop with a fenced run. - A 13 x 18 ft BBQ hut for year-round use, without power. - A 12 x 16 ft greenhouse, unpowered, next to a 55 x 55 ft fenced garden with 14 planted raised beds. - A 14 x 20 ft wood stove-heated 1-bedroom cabin with an 8 x 14 ft covered deck, fully furnished. - A 34 x 19 ft unheated storage building with an attached 17 x 19 ft studio. - An old new/used/antique store requiring repairs for operational use, currently without power. The irregularly shaped lot features 600 feet of frontage along Highway 16 and an additional 100 feet on Topley Post Office Road, with Cessford Creek, a year-round salmon and trout stream, forming the western boundary. The creek’s deep bed prevents flooding. Two electrical services power the property: one for the house and one for all other buildings except the store, greenhouse, and BBQ hut. Water is supplied by two shallow wells. The C1 zoning requires a business operation for residency, offering flexibility for small enterprises not permitted on residentially zoned properties. Topley’s rural setting offers a peaceful lifestyle with convenient access to nearby amenities. Positioned along Highway 16, the property is a short drive from Houston’s recreational offerings, including the Houston Leisure Facility with its pool and fitness center, and the nearby Bulkley River, renowned for fishing and kayaking. Burns Lake, 50 km east, provides additional services, including the Lakes District Hospital and shopping at the Village of Burns Lake. The Topley area is known for its outdoor opportunities, with Morice Mountain nearby for hiking and snowmobiling, and Babine Lake, a hub for fishing and boating, within easy reach. The community’s volunteer fire department serves local residents, while the Bulkley Valley Farmers’ Market in Houston offers fresh produce and artisan goods. With its renovated heritage home, diverse outbuildings, and proximity to both natural and community amenities, 21554 Topley Post Office Road presents a rare opportunity for a self-sufficient rural lifestyle in a scenic and accessible location.
