ARE YOU LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE OR FOR MORE AFFORDABLE, STRESS-FREE, BUT COMFORTABLE LIVING - OR FOR AN AFFORDABLE INVESTMENT?
Affordable living in an extraordinary, 900 sqft 2 bdrm. corner-unit condo located in "the jewel of the Thompson" region, in the beautiful, sunny, mystical community of Ashcroft, BC.
Ashcroft is an incorporated, safe, crime-free community ,50 min from Kamloops and 2 hrs from Kelowna with a friendly population of 1,500 people, has 2 rivers running through, the jade-colored, swift Thompson and the Bonaparte, several secluded beaches, opportunities for swimming, rafting and great fishing, many hiking trails to secluded locations with tranqulity and peace, but still with all amenities this small community has to offer. Ashcroft has the amenities other small communities do not have including high-speed internet (Telus), a bank/ATM, insurance office, post office, Safety Food market, hair dresser, hardware store, gas station, bakery, 3 local restaurants, car/mechanical & tire service, dental and a medical care, hospital, ambulance services, RCMP detachment, BC Service Centre, animal clinic, library, elementary, middle and high-school, child day-care, swimming pool, sport and soccer fields, tennis courts, ice rink, fitness and yoga centre, art community and performance venues, and a local farm with fresh produce (Desert Hill Farms), local fresh eggs ... and more... Ashcroft has history, heritage and prestige as being what it is amongst the small communities of the region, a popular retirement destination but also with a good mix of young and middle-age locals. Ashcroft is in a rain-shadow where it seldomly rains, and you can enjoy "sun, sun, sun". The winter is short with very little snow, mild and sunny. Ashcroft is reknown for its large tomatoes and produce, and it is great for gardening. The dry air is very beneficial for those suffering from asthma-related illnesses.
Several renovations have recently been undertaken in this unit with a completely new bathroom, new energy-saving windows, several kitchen updates incl. stainless steel fridge, in-suite washer and dryer, air conditioning and forced air heating with new thermostat, and artistically painted and designed interior.
2 sundecks, one accessible from the living room (east-facing), the other from a separate big kitchen (west-facing), offer breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and river valley from both sides and each room of the appartment. Throughout the unit many spacious closets and cupboards offer plenty of storage space.
The unit comes with a very big storage room appr. 150 sqft . in size, and a parking spot just in front of the house with electrical motor heater outlet. Additionally, there is a big, unpaved parking lot in the north yard where you can park more cars, RVs, camper, trailer, boat ...
It is a very quiet complex with 36 units in 3 separate buildings, each building two storeys high with 3 separate entrances . Each entrance is for only 4 units, so you have one neighbour on the 2nd floor and two below on ground level, which is a very unique setup that is hard to find in a condo building - it is more similiar to townhouse living but for a condo price...
The complex is surrounded by beautiful, big community gardens including a nectarine tree, grape vines and currant and saskatoon bushes. There is direct access from this building to part of the gardens directly under the unit which are for individual recreational and gardening use.
It is under a very well-run strata management, and the site and buildings are also well maintained. They are good buildings without problems or major issues.
Rentals and pets are allowed, there are no age restrictions, and the $210 monthly maintenance fee includes heating and hot water. SIMILAR UNITS IN THE COMPLEX RENT OUT FOR 800$ A MONTH WHICH WOULD MAKE THIS ALSO A VERY GOOD INVESTMENT PROPERTY.
It is a very affordable, peaceful and low maintenance lifestyle that gives you lots of time to get inspired and enjoy the mystical surroundings of Ashcroft.
This is a private sale and the unit is occupied by the owner. Sale Price is $ 76K.
