Kamloops,
It has been seven years since we bought our house and property, we have enjoyed it immensely. The place has become a magnet for family members who enjoy shooting or just relaxing in the country.
We are so fortunate we bought seven years ago, as "Telecommuters" have discovered they don't have to live in New Jersey and work from home. Any property you would want to live in is sold the first day it's listed, for above asking price.
I have done a good bit of improvements, the best is a 200 yard rifle range that is a short hike or ATV ride up the hill behind the house.
Lots of steel targets:
A small cabin we built at the rifle range:
We developed a four spot RV park close to the road so if relatives come with a camper, they can hook up to electricity, water and septic. We also rent out two of these spots to give us a little income:
"If you build it, they will come". My 40 year old Nephew is moving here to be close to us, bringing his children of course. I have enjoyed having his oldest boy (14 years old) stay with us during the Summer months, they love mountain recreation. He closes on his house around the first of November.....
