Dl 7561 Baptiste Trail

The prestigious Elk Park development covers over 4,000 acres, of which 3,500 acres is comprised of 16 special acreages. Now for sale is McKay Ranch, one of only two properties that front on Baptiste Lake and consists of 160 acres including approx 25 acres of lake with over 4600 feet of lake shore. This park-like setting is fully forested with some nice xmas tree roads and trails throughout the land making it ideal for recreation and with an abundance of wildlife – elk, deer, turkeys, bear. Towards the east you border directly on crown land and beyond that you have Kootenay National Park – this is the ultimate in private estate lands, unequalled in the valley. Access to Elk Park is via a secure electronic gate 2 kms north of Radium Hot Springs. Driving through Elk Park you would have a hard time knowing you were not in a National Park as everything is pristine nature. Services include power & a water license on the lake for water. The developer Fred Schickedanz summarised his vision for the project as follows, “If you want to have your horses and a few cattle, you can. Or you could simply build your dream home on it and enjoy the view of the Purcell Mountains, the lake, streams and all the amenities that British Columbia’s Columbia Valley offers – fishing, skiing, golf, mountain biking, hiking – all this just three hours from Calgary and only a few mins to the town centre of Radium Hot Springs.” (id:3082)
