Welcome home to a lovely piece of West Kootenay history! This iconic brick construction home is one of the original Doukhobor Russian village homes constructed in the region in the early 1900's and in the decades to follow, became know as the 'Raspberry Village Subdivision. In recent years, it has been renovated to now provide for 9 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with option to further develop the attic space or the entire unfinished basement. This home has been benefit to extensive improvements to include insulation, windows, doors, mechanical (dual gas F/A furnaces and on demand hot water), flooring, bathrooms and kitchen still allowing for a bit of the remaining finishing work such as casings. This peaceful & beautiful home is situated on .43 of an acre in 'Raspberry' where the history of this location once provided for bountiful raspberry and orchard fruit trees that supplied the Brilliant Jam Factory. There is a dedicated garden patch, several fruit trees, some fencing, a fire pit, deck and room for all your wants and needs. Park the RV or boat, set up the swing set and provide a safe place for the kids and pets. This location is benefit to generous sunshine, sunrises and gentle afternoon sun. It is walking distance to the Columbia River, the old ferry landing and local convenience store and gas bar. Minutes to the City of Castlegar and a few more minutes to the Lower Arrow Lake and Syringa Provincial Park. The covered front veranda is the perfect space for your flowers and conversation with family and friends!

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!
