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 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 ensuite baths. The outside features large patios, meditative nature pools, a 1,272 sq. ft. workshop/studio with gantry crane, greenhouse, gardens, and a 3-bedroom 1190 sq ft 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.

About
My name is Sharon Snelling and I have been living right here in Oliver for the last 30 years. I love this area and I cannot imagine calling anywhere else home!
I came here from England after backpacking my way around the world for 6 years. After arriving in Oliver I just knew that this was home. I embraced the lifestyle and became very passionate about camping in the summers and snowboarding in the winters. I also really enjoy curling, x-country skiing, stand up paddle boarding and horses, and currently have two horses of my own. This makes for some very fun times!
Since arriving in the South Okanagan I have worked primarily in the fruit industry and, along with my partner, have had a successful cherry export business selling cherries all around the world. I have also worked part time for Canada Post for the last ten years and some of you may recognize me from delivering your mail. In the past I have spent a number of years doing volunteer ski patrol and being a snow shoe guide at Mount Baldy.
Today I am entirely focused on real estate and extremely motivated to help you with buying or selling your home, so please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will do my absolute best to ensure your real estate transactions go as smooth as possible, and make it a fun experience as well!
