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
RJ Toor
REALTORĀ®
RJ learned integrity, honesty and a strong work ethic as a child. They're traits that form the core values of his thriving business and he wouldn't have it any other way. Coupled with a solid foundation in today's latest technology, extensive sales experience and excellent communication skills, he offers a unique blend of expertise that keeps his clients coming back. RJ has been around real estate for a lifetime. As the eldest child in an immigrant family - where strong work ethic was learned - he was the only English speaker and the one his family leaned on, translating property transactions and dealing with bankers, lawyers, mortgage brokers and Realtors. So, it was natural for him to go into real estate. But first, he carved out a 22-year career in automotive industry and business management.
The real estate industry has changed dramatically over the years and, in this environment, RJ's extensive knowledge and sales and negotiating skills are especially valued. He is one of the select few agents to achieve Top Ten status in his first full year as a Realtor. And he was voted Best Realtor 2012 by the Readers Choice of Kamloops Daily News. This level of success means RJ, who specializes in residential and commercial real estate, earns referrals and repeat business from his many satisfied clients. He has deep roots in Kamloops, having lived in the community for many years with his wife, three children, and their Golden Mountain Doodle Maverick. A hockey enthusiast (he also enjoys skiing, wakeboarding and RVing), RJ is a strong proponent of volunteering and giving back. He has served extensively as a director on minor hockey boards in both Prince George and Kamloops and has been a team manager for several teams. Currently RJ is a board member with Kamloops Hospice Association as a Treasurer. Always calm under pressure and with a keen ability to really listen to his clients to understand their needs, he believes his greatest contribution is to be their trusted advisor, their advocate. They know they can count on him for an honest, thoughtful analysis of the market and local home values and trends, and to help them navigate the complex buying and selling process.
