About this property

Celista Waterfront Gardens, Large Private Property with Beach and 2 Buoys

This is a new 2500 sq ft two-story home including a 1200 sq ft walkout basement on a large private treed property. The property is directly on the best part of the beach in Celista. The house is quite distant from the road allowing for a setting that is peaceful and quiet. Our location is very photogenic and guests usually capture many memorable photographs in the gardens and the grounds.

On the main level you will find a 3-pc bath and a master bedroom (King). The kitchen, with a dishwasher and all the amenities, dining and living areas are open, spacious and very bright with a large Rumford wood-burning fireplace. There is a 46" Smart TV beside the fireplace that is wall mounted. Wifi and Cable TV are provided by Mascon Cable owned by Telus. From the living area, there is a large deck overlooking the lake with a new barbecue, patio tables with chairs and a comfy screened-in side porch where you can enjoy the evenings, if the weather or bugs are bad.

Upstairs, there is a 3-pc bath and two bedrooms (Queen/Double, Queen). The large loft area contains a new 55 inch Samsung Smart TV/Entertainment Centre (plus Wii U Game Console) with leather sectional and lazyboy recliner. In the finished lower level, you'll find 2 more bedrooms (Double/Single bunks, Queen) and another 3-pc bath. There is a seating area with a sectional couch , a card/games table, wall mounted fireplace and wall mounted smart TV. A ping-pong table is set up in the open area, with a view of the gardens and lake. From here, you will step outdoors into the gardens on the way to your private beach. Have an evening wiener roast or just relax by the fire pit at the water's edge on pebbles and sand. Firewood is provided in a wood shed for your convenience. There are two mooring buoys for two boats and a 30 ft long dock to accommodate longer boats. A peddle boat and 4 kayaks with paddles and some life jackets are provided.

A custom timber-frame picnic shelter complete with custom-built picnic table and cook stove and provides another sheltered area among the trees for private dining and entertaining. Next to the picnic shelter, there is a full-service RV pad available for booking upon request.

During those hot summer days, you'll enjoy the air-conditioning along with other features like ping pong. A very short walk will take you to the corner store and the Elementary School playground.

Included in your rental payment is a $200.00 cleaning fee, laundry, free firewood and access to a paddle boat and 4 kayaks. We also allow guests to bring up to 2 pets for an extra nominal fee.

Paradise
We are a family of 10 adults and one 2 year old and our stay at this property was excellent. Everything we needed and more was available for us in the kitchen and in the house. There are 5 spacious bedrooms and the closets were all nice and big which was great for the babies crib. The location is excellent and is quiet and close to the convenience store and the grocery store in Scotch Creek. We would definitely book again!

Why they chose this property

A wonderful get away to one of the most beautiful and accessible large lakes in British Columbia. The property is heavily treed and is very private making it a great retreat from the rest of the world. The pebble beach and the water clarity make it a great place for all the water sports like swimming, snorkeling, boating, fishing, wake boarding, water skiing, sailing, etc.

What makes this property unique

You will be staying at one of the best locations on Shuswap Lake close to many amenities and great natural scenery. If you like water sports, this is the place for you. Thousands of people visit our area of the lake in the summer. Watersking, wake boarding, tubing, paddle boarding, swimming, sailing and fishing all take place right off our beach.
If you are a golfer Talking Rock Golf course (18 Holes ) is 20 minutes away. Anglemont Golf Course (9 holes) is 15 minutes down the road.
We are close to the Adams River which is famous for its Fall Sockeye salmon run and Crowfoot Mountain is revered as a quality snowmobile destination in winter and offroad area in the summer for motorcycles and ATVs.
