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. Tremendous views of Kootenay River as well as the Valley and Mountains (Parker and Joe peaks) in Idaho. Water is licensed from Rykert Creek for domestic use. The home itself has large formal dining and living rooms with primary and secondary bedrooms upstairs each with their own ensuite. The third bedroom is also on the second level. Kitchen has nook as well as main level laundry. Lower level is unfinished with ample room for storage. Secondary buildings include Mr. Rykerts second customs office as well as area for parking and further storage areas. With lots of land and not in the ALR there will be less restrictions as to what you may want to do with it in the future. For now a new buyer can own a part of History that no one else can!

About
Hello and welcome! Living most of my life in the West Kootenay, I thoroughly enjoy showing this area off to newcomers. I have spent many years in the Nelson, Castlegar, Salmo and Trail areas, living and working. This background has given me a unique look at how the this area operates as a whole. Licensed as a REALTOR® since 2007 means I have seen some interesting (and very challenging) market conditions. I share this experience with you, my clients, past, present and future. I am also Managing Broker of our office and I am honoured to lead this amazing team of talented real estate, and property management, professionals.
My wonderful husband, Terry Alton, grew up in Warfield and is also a licensed REALTOR®. In another life, we worked alongside each other entertaining audiences on cruise ships around the world. When it was time to leave that lifestyle and plant roots on land, there was only one place to go and that was HOME. The West Kootenay region tugged at our hearts and we are still here today.
I promise to guide you through buying or selling properties with care, experience and respect. This is your journey and I would be privileged to be a part of it!
