Own a piece of Canadian and BC History! J.C. Rykerts original home and customs office located just North of CDN/USA border. Married to Ella Wells (who's father was founder of Wells-Fargo) They lived in this large scale home with all the amenities of the times including "servants stairs" to second story, stain glass windows and hardwoods throughout. Mr. Rykerts joined the N.W. Mounted Police in 1874, prior to that as an engineer helped survey the C.P.R. Railway lines throughout the Great Lakes! Mr. Rykerts moved to this location in 1883 and was customs agent, building this home in 1901. The property is just under 15 acres and is not in the ALR.

About
Melissa was born and raised in the North Thompson area, at the gateway of Wells Gray Park in Clearwater. When she turned 10 she began figure skating day after day and eventually started competing throughout the province. Very dedicated to this sport she graduated high school and auditioned for Disney on Ice. Melissa was accepted right away and was off to go touring, leaving for Florida and continued on skating with Disney for 3 years. She travelled all over North America, Japan, Mexico, and Australia performing for audiences as large as 10,000 people. While she was away living out of a suitcase and staying in hotels week after week, she began to realize how important "home" really was. She purchased her first investment home the second year she toured, knowing that her hard earned money was being spent wisely. This was the beginning of a new career. Melissa ended her career with Disney and decided she had a new passion. A new passion for real estate. Melissa actively sells Real Estate in the North Thompson/Kamloops & surrounding areas and is very committed to making the purchase or sale of your home easy, worry free and successful. Over the years of being very dedicated to her career, Melissa has had the opportunity to work with all types of transactions, including Court Ordered Sales, Foreclosures, Estate Sales, Farms, Recreation Properties, Commercial, Strata, & standard Residential. She takes pride in always upgrading her education & knowledge for every complex transaction that comes her way. Melissa strives to build long lasting relationships with her clients and looks forward to working with new clients everyday. Melissa always says "It's a lifestyle, not a job!".
