Main Cabin

The current owners have owned the property for 30 years, and have made a huge amount of improvements to the property that I don't normally see at a typical recreational cabin. They also lived at the cabin for 8 years which gave them the extra time to make all the additional extras and improvements.

I found the home to be in very good condition and nicely maintained, and beautifully decorated.

The original portion of the home (living room & kitchen) is approx. 40 years old. The kitchen 13'-4" x 19'-6" and has a nice lino flooring with lots of cupboards and hot and cold running water, propane stove along with wood burning cook stove. The living room is 15'-3" x 13'-9" with sliding glass door to sun deck.

The new addition ( bedroom, foyer, porch and bathroom) is approx. 12 years of age.)

The bathroom is 12' x 5'-5" and has a soaker tub with shower, sink and toilet.

The master bedroom is carpeted and is 15' x 12'-3"

The back mud room is 10' x 5' and has a propane fridge. The foyer is 10' x 10'-7" has a wood burning stove with a brick hearth and wall and is plumbed in a brick chimney.

The porch off the kitchen is 13' x 5'-7" which is no part of the livable square footage.

The total square footage of the main cabin is 952 sq. ft.

The sun deck is currently being replaced by the seller.

There is lovely maintained rock planters and gardens around the property and cabin.

The water system is buried underground and comes from a 13' shallow well which is spring fed. The system feeds both cabins and outside hose bibs as well. The well is located off the property and is registered with the Water Management Branch. The current owner has total rights to the water system at a cost of $106.80 over a 3 year period.

The septic system is a 600 gallon tank with a dry well which is located out front of the cabin.

Detached wood shed is located to the side of the cabin.

There is a concrete root cellar with a double door system, which is located to the side of the yard in the bank.

Guest Cabin

The detached guest cabin is 24' x 16' with two bedrooms. Hot and cold running water for kitchen and 3 piece bathroom. The kitchen has a propane range and wood stove. The cabin is approx. 8 to 10 years old. One bedroom has a double bed, and the other has bunk beds. The cabin is nicely finished inside with laminate flooring and wood trim and paneling.

Zoning R6

Privacy

I don't get very many cabin like this one, that has a huge buffer from the many road, where the security is located. The neighbor shared the back road that splits off to his property. The property is mostly located down in an impression in the land and is very private with many trees, and very isolated and private from the neighbors.

Pinaus Lake

Pinaus Lake is a long, clean, clear, deep lake, which is approx. 3 miles in length, and large enough to land float planes on and water ski. Pinaus Lake offers great Rainbow fishing. The lake has an elevation of 982 meters, or 3221 feet, with 417 surface acres in size. Maximum depth of 53.6 meters, or 176' feet, mean depth 13.1 meters or 42.98' feet. Fisheries had two stockings in 2003 of approx. 30,000 fingerlings. There is no restrictions on the lake regarding motors.

Crown Lease

The lease was renewed on June 3, 2002 for an additional 15 year term with Crown Lands. The annual Crown Lease fee is based on 3% of the annual assessed land value. The 2007 lease fee is $4,710.00 which is based on the current assessed land value of $157,000

Several Crown lease lots have been sold or Crown Granted on Pinaus Lake over the last few years to cabin owners. Should any prospective buyers wish to apply to purchase the land they will have to call The Integrated Land Management Bureau in Kamloops to discuss the process further.

The 2007 property taxes were $1,091.81

Things To Do

There is many other lakes in the immediate area to fish including Pinaus, Little Pinaus, Lady King, Square, Jimmy, Nugget, Woods, Drum, Sawmill, and many hundreds of back roads and trails to explore, 4 x 4, hiking, mountain biking or ATV. The old Ranger Station Forestry lookout on top of Tutakumun Mountain is located just off the Pinaus Lake road, and is well worth the afternoon hike. The mountain range views in all directions are spectacular and the Falkland Valley farm land below offer breath taking views.
