Bush Pilot Properties

144′ of waterfront on 1.88 acres of gently sloping land. Wildlife abounds, from moose to White Pelicans.

Fenced and gated, there is a hardpacked gravel drive from the main road down to the gate.

This would make a good base of operations for a floatplane owner. There are hundreds of lakes in the vicinity, and the fishing and hunting are outstanding.  The legendary Blackwater system is in the backyard.

This property is outside of a mandatory building inspection area, meaning all you have to do to be legal is maintain the proper setback from the lake (the building site looks ok for this) and meet the BC Building code (which isn’t too hard).

There is a large building site with a great view of the lake, and further up the drive there is parking for several vehicles (or room for equipment and materials while you build). The lot slopes gradually to the lake, with stepped down benches, leading to a sand/gravel beach. A quick clean up of shrubs will leave a beautiful little beach area.

The list price for this property is $97,500. It can be found on the Multiple Listing Service of the BC Northern Board under number N202431. Yearly taxes are $424.00. It is fee simple title (freehold). Electricity and telephone are nearby, as are gas and groceries from Sylvia’s Cafe.

Directions to property:
From Quesnel get onto the Moffat Bridge to West Quesnel (Marsh Drive).
As soon as you cross the bridge take a right onto Elliot Street (look for signs to Nazko).
Elliot will turn into North Fraser Drive within 4-5 blocks/ 1 km. Stay on North Fraser Drive heading north with the river on your right.
After 4 or 5 kms North Fraser will turn into the Blackwater Road. Stay on this road.
After another 4 or 5 kms you’ll get to Bouchie Lake. The Blackwater Road turns to the right and the Nazko Road goes toward the left. Stay on the Nazko Road.
Follow the Nazko Road about 35 kms until you come to Sylvia’s Cafe.
Just past Sylvia’s turn left onto Tibbles Road. It’s about 3 km from Sylvia’s to the property.
