The absolute epitome of a private recreational property. Located in its own private protected bay, this water access property is located 11 km up Seton Lake, an approximate 15-minute boat ride from the boat launch at the east end of the lake. Seton Lake does not freeze over during the winter allowing year-round access to the property.
The property itself is 4.45 acres in size and is the last lot on the far west end of a small 5 lot lakefront subdivision. Being the end lot comes with its advantages, including no neighbor on the west side and virtually exclusive use over the large pebble beachfront to the west of the property line. This area of the province enjoys warm summer evenings with the advantage of virtually no mosquitos. The owner has installed a permanent dock with pilings into the lake floor. Seton Lake is one of the few lakes in British Columbia where permanent docks work extremely well as the lake level does not fluctuate more than 12 inches throughout the season. Seton Lake would be one of my top picks for swimming, beautiful clear water and summer temperature pushing into the upper 30s means you’ll love taking a dip in the clear water. A path leads from the dock through the mature timber up the hill to the cabin site, the cabin site itself sits on an elevated bench above the lake is actually fairly flat. The property includes water rights on Machute Creek.
This property is offered for sale turnkey, fully furnished and ready to go. Improvements to the property include a well-built 650 sq. ft. A-frame cabin with a single bedroom on the main floor and sleeping loft above, a sq. ft. sleeping cabin, an outdoor kitchen with propane stove, storage sheds and outhouse. The cabin is simple, yet exactly what you would hope for in a recreational lakeside retreat. The cabin includes a metal roof, propane fridge, propane stove and off grid power provided by solar and generator. Outside you’ll find a private shower with on demand hot water. The owners have been thoughtful in their design for the property with small touches that make lakeside living more enjoyable, such as an exterior stove in the outdoor kitchen or another fridge underneath the deck for quick access during a beer emergency. The cabin does not have an interior bathroom, but includes a well-made outhouse outside. The views from the cabin are spectacular out over the aqua blue waters of Seton Lake and the towering mountains the distance. Properties like this are rare.
The property includes several additional flat campsites for extra accommodation for guests. The owners have had groups of up to 20 people staying at the property, utilizing the main cabin, the sleeping cabin and tent sites. When you and your friends head out to the lake for the weekend you won’t run out of things to do, try out the zip line on the property for kids, go fishing, go swimming, hike over to the epic rope swing or take advantage of the awesome water sport recreation on the lake and the fact that you almost never see any other boats around the section of the lake. Your own private paradise.

The region is one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas in North America. Originally known as Cayoosh Flat, the town was renamed Lillooet in 1860 during the Fraser River Gold Rush, becoming Mile 0 of the historic Cariboo Wagon Road. Its strategic location along the Fraser River made it a vital stop for gold prospectors traveling to the Cariboo goldfields.
