Description

This 3500 sq.ft. custom built home has 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a two car attached garage.

The main floor has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a tiled ensuite with a shower, toilet, bidet and sink and a main bathroom. The kitchen has lots of cupboards, counter space and pull-out drawers and a large eating area. A family/TV room is open to the kitchen and a formal dining room and living room compliment the main floor. Hardwood and ceramic tile have been used extensively throughout.

This home was built to operate as a bed and breakfast. There is a separate entrance that leads to a bright daylight basement with four large bedrooms that can sleep up to 12, one bedroom has a 3 piece ensuite, and another has a 2 piece and a 5 piece main bathroom. There also is a TV/media room and an entrance room that can be used for quiet times.

All rooms are individually controlled with electric heating. A pellet stove is in the lower level TV/media room and provides heating for the whole house. The house was well constructed and annual utility costs are well below the average. There is no shortage of water from the community water system.

The house is situated on approximately one acre and has a large garden area, separate workshop with an 8x8 greenhouse and attached garden shed. The circular driveway has lots of room for car and RV parking. The property has an underground computerized sprinkler system that is easy to maintain.

The present owners have not operated as the "Desert Sands" bed and breakfast, although they retained the domain names. These domain names will be transferred with the house in the event that new owners want to operate a bed and breakfast or just enjoy living in this nice quiet acreage subdivision.

The home is minutes off one of two main highways to Vancouver, B.C. 350 kilometres away, soon to be the home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It is also just minutes from the Thompson River and Kamloops Lake, a recreational paradise renowned for river rafting, swimming, boating, and fishing. There is roughly 200 lakes in the area and is said to be one of BC's best fishing centres. The surrounding area is popular for golfing, hiking, horseback riding through the numerous trails in the surrounding hills. World class golfing at Tobiano is 15 minutes away! Fossil hunting is close by for the rock hounds. The winter can be enjoyed with skidoos, cross country skiing or the world famous ski runs at Sun Peaks on Tod Mountain that is 103 kilometres away.

The area is dry and semi-desert. Wind and water have combined to erode the earth into tall, strangely shaped pillars, known as Hoodoos. Some of these impressive natural sculptures reach 50 feet in height.

This area, known as "the sunshine corridor" of British Columbia, averages 250 hours of sunshine per month - April to September. The winters are generally mild with minimal snowfall. The dry air is extremely beneficial for people suffering from ailments such as sinusitis, allergies, arthritis, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
