UNIQUE 6000sq ft ESTATE FOR SALE
IN THE BEAUTIFUL CRESTON VALLEY!

Truly country living at it’s best,
and yet only 5 minutes from downtown Creston,
schools, and the Community Recreation Complex.

This exceptional, 6000 sq ft estate with indoor swimming pool, was built in 1985, and is complimented by a panoramic, South facing view of the Selkirk Mountain Range, Goat River and the Creston Valley.

A beautiful, spacious, 6 bedroom ranch style home situated on a secluded 3.72 acres has everything you could dream of for a family home, hobby farm or bed and breakfast.

Entertaining is made easy with this open concept floor plan.  The main floor includes; a large kitchen, eating nook, family room, formal dining room, formal living room, 3 oversized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. 

Surrounding the east and South sections of the house are beautiful and expansive, elevated decks, perfect for summer entertaining or enjoying a sunrise over the Skimmerhorn Mountain, while waking up with your cup of coffee.  Stay cozy on those cooler evenings with either of the 2 fireplaces on the main level – the family room has a brick fireplace with a gas insert, and the formal living area has retained its original stone, wood burning fireplace.  There is a utility room just off the kitchen, that serves as a main floor laundry room, including a sink and more storage.  There is a back foyer just off the utility room, which accesses a small 2 pc bathroom.
