At number one is this four-bedroom home on 16.5 acres in the south end of Slocan Valley. If hobby farming has been living rent-free in your head ever since you attended your second rodeo, this place has the loft barn, massive chicken coop and enough outdoor space to fully commit to the cowboy lifestyle. The home features 26-foot vaulted ceilings, an open-concept living area and warm fir flooring, making the home feel open yet comfortable.
Conveniently located next to school bus routes, and backing onto a beautiful mountain backdrop, this home is the perfect property for a family looking for rural scenery with convenience. This retreat could be yours for $979,900.
One tiny disclaimer before you start pricing out cowboy hats: farming is a lot more than aesthetic sunsets and baby goats. It's hard work, early mornings and a whole lot of responsibility. So, if you're thinking about buying a farm, definitely do your research before bringing home any livestock.
But if Stampede has convinced you you're meant for country life, these properties are a pretty good place to start.
