Listing Description

Own a piece of Canadian and BC History! J.C. Rykerts original home and customs office located just North of CDN/USA border. Married to Ella Wells (who's father was founder of Wells-Fargo) They lived in this large scale home with all the amenities of the times including ""servants stairs"" to second story, stain glass windows and hardwoods throughout. Mr. Rykerts joined the N.W. Mounted Police in 1874, prior to that as an engineer helped survey the C.P.R. Railway lines throughout the Great Lakes! Mr. Rykerts moved to this location in 1883 and was customs agent, building this home in 1901. The property is just under 15 acres and is not in the ALR. Tremendous views of Kootenay River as well as the Valley and Mountains (Parker and Joe peaks) in Idaho. Water is licensed from Rykert Creek for domestic use. The home itself has large formal dining and living rooms with primary and secondary bedrooms upstairs each with their own ensuite. The third bedroom is also on the second level. Kitchen has nook as well as main level laundry. Lower level is unfinished with ample room for storage. Secondary buildings include Mr. Rykerts second customs office as well as area for parking and further storage areas. With lots of land and not in the ALR there will be less restrictions as to what you may want to do with it in the future. For now a new buyer can own a part of History that no one else can!
