An attractive, cleared and scenic lot in the lakeside community of Galena Shores. All services are in place and at the lot line—sewer, water, and underground power lines ready to be hooked up. Property is ready for building or perhaps to park your RV while plans are made and the development plans formalized.
The land is 136.5 feet wide at the road and 229 feet deep, and approximately 0.63 acres with a very gradual slope up from the road. The width of the lot allowed the owner to set up a half-moon driveway off the private road making it easy to pull in and out with your RV, boat, etc.
The land backs onto a wooded area and there are various options to build within a large, approved building area—see maps. One could tuck a cabin in the back third of the land where you would have a nice buffer of trees on either side and have a small and very private back yard or one could front the cabin more towards or middle of the lot and leave a large back yard—lots of options here with a wide and fairly deep lot.
The soil and climate here support healthy and robust gardens so the open land in the front of the lot would be ideal for growing.
Another big appeal to this lot is its proximity to the boat launch and beach area. You are only a few hundred metres away. Here you will find a common building with laundry, washrooms and shower—very convenient for owners as they wait/plan to build.
The zoning and strata bylaws allow for a single-family cottage dwelling with or without a suite. There is no timeline to build. Minimum house size 1,250 sq. ft. including a covered deck. It is also possible to have a detached garage with a secondary suite, several owners in the community have built the garage/suite first. Others use the land temporarily via and RV.
Annual Strata fees including payments into the reserves are $1,506 (approximately $125 a month) and those cover road maintenance and snow removal, sewer, landscaping, common building facilities and the boat launch and payments into reserve funds for the strata and septic expansion.

Galena Shores is located on the shores of beautiful Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake, approx. halfway between Nakusp and Revelstoke. The calm waters of Galena Bay are surrounded by mountain wilderness, looking westward to the Glaciated peaks of the Monashee Mountains and backing onto the wild and rugged Selkirk Mountains. Climate wise, the region is famous for high hot and dry summers and lots of snow in winter with 4 distinct seasons. There are numerous natural attractions such as backcountry lakes, pristine creeks and rivers and hot springs—some as close as 10-15 minutes away. Here you can find everything from a full-service hot spring resorts to more natural backcountry pools accessible by a short hike. The nearby communities of Beaton (15 minutes) and Trout Lake (20 minutes) have small populations of less than 60 year-round residents combined. Revelstoke and Nakusp are the closest towns—Nakusp is 35 minutes away, Revelstoke a little further and about an hour including the ferry.
Slightly more accessible than Revelstoke is the community of Nakusp, only 56 km away and not requiring a ferry for access. Nakusp has a population of 1,700 and offers all your basic amenities, including a community health centre, hospital and vet. The town has a 3,000 ft paved runway, great schools, quaint shops and services and a small but vibrant arts community. Nakusp also fronts on Upper Arrow Lake and has a great marina facility and attractive waterfront.
Revelstoke is a quaint mountain town located 65 km north of Galena Bay and connected to the same water body as Galena Shores. Coming from Alberta one turns off the Trans-Canada Highway at Revelstoke and then drives south on Highway 23 to the ferry. Revelstoke’s economy is based around tourism, forestry and the railroad. The largest growth sector of late is tourism as more and more visitors come for outdoor adventures year-round. Revelstoke Mountain Resort has the highest vertical drop in North America and some of the deepest and most consistent snow conditions on earth. With a population of close to 10,000, the town offers all the amenities one requires with two grocery stores, numerous shops, restaurants and cafes, all your professional services, spas, a great hospital with emergency service, two new schools and a picturesque and vibrant western style town core.
The Arrow Lakes are located in the Kootenays region of British Columbia, situated between the Selkirk Mountains to the east and the Monashee Mountains to the west. Arrow Lake is divided into two lakes, Upper Arrow Lake and Lower Arrow Lake, which are widened portions of the Columbia River as it wends its way south to the US border. Originally two separate lakes, the Arrow Lakes became one 230-km long lake with the construction of the Keenleyside Dam in the 1960s. At low water levels the two lakes become separated, once again, although connected by a section known as the Narrows. The shores of the Arrow Lakes feature rocky headlands and steep cliffs, with mountain sides that are heavily forested and rise sharply to elevations around 2,600 metres.
In summer the boating on Arrow Lake is fabulous, there are lots of interesting excursions—up the long and fjord-like Beaton Arm which extends more than 12 km off the main lake body, kayak along the shores of Galena Bay, visit historical sites such as the ghost town of Arrowhead, or just zip around the bay in your boat from the dock (included in the sale).
Fishing is top notch year-round, but best in the fall/winter months with large rainbows 9-15 lbs. a common catch, dollies are also prevalent, as are the smaller and delicious kokanee salmon. Extending immediately out of the private roads of Galena Shores are great quadding and dirt biking roads. For those who want to get into the backcountry even further there are Forest Service Roads that take you up amazing mountain valleys. Or for those who are looking for a scenic route, the drive south to Meadow Creek and Kaslo along Trout Lake and the Lardeau River is one of the best in BC. In late April/May the Gerhard rainbow are spawning at the end of Trout Lake (approx. 1 hour away) and these are the largest trout in the world—a must see! Other summer activities include wildlife watching, hiking, great mountain bike trails, natural hot springs, or just kick back and enjoy the stunning mountain and lake scenery.
In winter you have some BC’s best winter activities nearby, and a few backcountry adventure lodges are present in the area. Revelstoke Mountain Resort is approx. 1 hour away and offers world class skiing, heli-skiing, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing and of course those awesome hot springs are fantastic in the winter months as well. Some of the best fishing of the year is during the winter months as the lake remains open water year-round. And what better way to spend a snowy winter day than in a hot spring only minutes away.
