A chance to own a Castle in the Forest. Situated on a private and secluded forest paradise just south of Christina Lake it is the perfect oasis. Eden like fenced gardens, greenhouses, fruit trees, chicken runs all set up for self-sufficiency and sustainable living. A year-round creek supplies sufficient flow for future micro-hydroelectric power and water to a 30,000-gallon sealed underground cistern. The entire exterior of the home is constructed of multiple layers of concrete reinforced with steel mesh. This European building tradition is meant to last centuries and is designed to resist fire, rot and insects as well as the added benefit of being cool in the summer and retaining heat in the winter. The interior of the Castle is abundant with charm and character, containing unique colored concrete floors and wood features, heat pump with five individual zones, impressive arched doors and windows, and amazing stained-glass windows. Perhaps the main feature is the impressive stunning spiral staircase leading to the 3.5-storey tower that houses 3 bedrooms each with their own ensuites. The outside features large patios, meditative nature pools, a 1,272 sq. ft. workshop/studio with gantry crane, greenhouse, gardens, and a 3-bed 1190sqft guest house. Nature trails lead to the nearby creek and pond, as well as extensive hiking trails, and easy access to ATV trail. Whether it is your own private retreat or for a fabulous air B&B you will not find another property like this one.

Location
About
I know this area very well, having lived in Creston since I was nine years old, when my family moved here from Prince George, BC. My family and I truly appreciate the nice mild winters and wonderful fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown in this beautiful valley. My list of enjoyable things to do in the area includes hiking the mountains, walking my dog and enjoying the scenery, golfing on the challenging Creston Golf Course and swimming in the newly renovated recreation center. I also belong to a women’s singing group, Key of She, which I enjoy very much.
Experience
I have first hand knowledge of the real estate industry, having worked for 8 years as the office administrator at RE/MAX Discovery Real Estate before taking the courses and getting my real estate license. I previously held positions in the accounting profession for more than twenty years here in Creston. I am very detail oriented, conscientious and confidential. I understand the responsibility entrusted to me by both buyers and sellers, specifically the responsibility associated with handling such a major, lifelong investment as that of one’s home. I do not take this responsibility lightly. Key principles for me are commitment and integrity. I am a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association, the B.C. Real Estate Association and the Kootenay Association of Realtors.
I raised my three children in this valley and family is very important to me. It has become my passion to help other families find their dream homes. I would love to help you find yours. I am Compassionate, Committed and Competent. Let's Make it Happen! Call Shelley Griffith!
