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
Joy grew up in Trail as the youngest of five children and has spent her entire life living and working in the area. Before Joy jumped into the world of real estate, she held management positions with both The Bay and Zellers.
Having spent her entire life in the area, Joy’s knowledge of the local market and the amenities that each community has to offer is second to none. For Joy, a quote that summarizes her views on her job would be: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” – Confucious.
In her past time, Joy most enjoys being at home on her acreage in Fruitvale spending time with her dogs, as well as her two horses. In addition, maintaining her fabulous yard filled with plants of all sorts and ponds filled with fish is a great passion of hers. In the summers, she has for many years spent time over at the family’s cabin at Christina Lake. She looks forward to bringing “Joy” to your real estate experience!!
"Joy helped us buy our house! She worked super hard and we found a house that we love fast! Highly recommend her!!"
