Earlier this week we let you know that the Fairmont Hot Springs in the Kootenays was on the market for $50 million, but if you don't quite have that much cash available on your line of credit then perhaps Canyon Hot Springs might be more up your alley.
Priced at $7.95 million it's located 35 km from Revelstoke, and the Canyon Hot Springs website is about as rustic as the property itself.
My parents brought us to this resort as a child in the 1980s and it seems that not too much has changed here since then, which is part of the charm.
The 150+ acre property has a number of chalets, cabins, and suites, as well as a fully serviced RV park and campsite with 200 sites combined.
It also has a modest offering when it comes to pool and hot tub, fed by hot springs that were originally discovered by rail workers.
Located adjacent the original CP rail line as well as the TransCanada Highway, it can be a bit loud with the traffic from trains and vehicles at times, but the water is refreshing and the air is still, somehow, quite fresh.
In the listing, agent Jen Peressini notes that "opportunity awaits development," and that it's zoned as Highway Commercial / Rural Holdings.
