Beautiful Log Home in the Natural Environment

You’ll want to take a look inside this beautiful log home that sits on 40 treed acres located on a dead-end road and nestles in the forested hills on the Vernon side of Falkland, British Columbia. The log cabin has incredible mountain views from all its windows, making this spectacular log home a private paradise. The log home has a nice open floor plan with a central floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace on the main floor. Upstairs you’ll find 3 good sized bedrooms all of which have balconies. The natural beauty of this acreage surrounds you with mature landscaping, perennial flowers, and shrubs, a large fenced garden spot, and a greenhouse too. In the green, forested hills of the Falkland Valley in the Northern Okanagan region of British Columbia is the rural community of Falkland.

Falkland, British Columbia is nestled at the confluence of three valleys and two rivers, the Salmon River and Bolean Creek, and is cradled by Tuktakamin Mountain (5811 feet) to the south, and Estekawalan Mountain to the west (5960 feet). Falkland is within commuting distance of Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Armstrong, and Salmon Arm, with growth potential as a bedroom community and retirement community, thanks in part to the warm dry summers and mild Winters. Annual events in Falkland include the Falkland International Sled Dog Races when mushers from Northwestern USA and western Canada compete in the two-day event on the second weekend in January, and the Falkland Stampede in May, which offers 3 days of rodeo action, a parade, and dances. No trip to Falkland is complete without stopping at Pillar Lake.

Hikers, rockhounds, photographers, and nature lovers will enjoy the Pillar, a 90-foot unique geological conglomerate of dirt and rock that can be reached via a short hike uphill. There you’ll find the Falkland hoodoo which points skyward, balancing a precariously perched eight-tonne boulder on its tip. The following are just some of the activities to enjoy in the area.

Fishing. The Falkland area is a haven for fishermen, with excellent fishing on 10 lakes within 10 miles of the Falkland.

Hiking. Hikers can hike the Estekawalan Mountain Trail, or hike up to Tuktakamin Mountain Lookout, where the view is well worth the effort.

Mountain Biking. The backroads and forested hills surrounding Falkland provide plenty of opportunities for mountain biking and outdoor adventure in summer, and snowmobiling in winter.

Golf. Golfers can go north to the 3 golf courses in Salmon Arm: The Salmon Arm Golf Club is set in an idyllic, rolling valley, beautifully treed and inviting. The public facility offers an 18-hole, 6,738-yard, par-72 championship course, or a more relaxed 9-hole executive course. Sonseekers Ridge Golf Course offers a challenging round of golf in a scenic, peaceful family-play place, where the focus is on the fun.

Recreation Sites. With so many small lakes in the area, there is no shortage of recreation sites for camping and picnicking. Established surrounding Falkland include Joyce Lake, Pillar Lake, Chase Creek, Charcoal Creek, Bolean Lake, Spa Lake, Arthur Lake, Spanish Lake, Square Lake, and Pinaus Lake.
