The Walter Luth Estate Farm in Creston BC is a feature-rich 40-acre property situated beautifully against a backdrop of the Purcell Mountains.

The property looks westerly out onto the Creston Valley and is located within 7 comfortable miles of the town of Creston. There is also a convenient corner grocery store, combination post office and coffee shop within a 5 minute drive.

Perfect as a quiet horse farm it is located off a well-maintained road that cuts into the landscape as it approaches the house so that the living area is shielded from view and excess noise.

With few neighbours within view there is a sense of privacy and solitude further enhanced by the hundreds of acres of adjacent publicly controlled forest to the south.

The main farmhouse (picture) is classic 60 or 70s construction with a new roof added in October of 2011, electric furnace, 2 fireplaces and wood stove... 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full sized basement with its own entry... suitable for construction of an in-law suite with room to add an elevator between floors.

It also has an enclosed double carport on the lower level.

There are four distinguishable areas of the property; an upper 4 to 5 acre piece of mostly cleared land, a main 15 acre section with farmhouse and various buildings, pastures with corral and a third and fourth section that is separated by a stand of trees that slope gently down to a 20 acre area. This acreage is approximately 2/3 new forest with the remaining 1/3 comprised of a large pasture with a small pond suitable for swimming or stocking with fresh water fish.

The wood-lot and surrounding area reveals all kinds of wildlife, birds and tree-frog sounds that augment the experience of quiet country living with a unique sense of privacy.

Looking out over the Creston Valley this property features incredible sunsets and surprisingly, even as early as April the sun rises spectacularly over the mountain range by 8AM.

The property has been developed primarily as a horse farm with pasture lands and features a large training arena, corral, horse barn, with eight stalls, and various smaller buildings including a sauna, goat or storage building and rustic chicken house.

A perennial, fresh water mountain stream runs between the upper 5 acres and the main house and buildings area.

With well rounded features this 40 acre parcel is suitable for multiple uses, not the least of which makes it ideal for horseback riding among endless riding trails throughout the wood-lot and adjacent public lands.

As is, the property exhibits a special topography and is above the flood plain as the Valley quickly levels out from this point out from the Purcell mountains.
