This mini homestead in the mountains is the perfect balance of peaceful country living and easy access to recreation. The home is nestled in the quiet hamlet of Elko, on just under a half acre of land. Less than thirty minutes of driving brings you to the Fernie ski hill and several lakes (including lake Koocanusa and Silver Springs). 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large office/laundry room, plus a cute "bunk house"! The 7.2 kw solar array generates most of the properties current power requirements. The yard is fully fenced and 3/4 hedged. There is an above ground irrigation system. The home is a gardener's dream and boasts two greenhouses, numerous raised beds, mature fruit trees (cherries, plums, apples, and pears), berry bushes, grape vines, and a large strawberry patch. There are also two chicken coops!
