Summary

As you begin your tour of this majestic former contractor�s home overlooking Dragon lake you cannot help but visualizing yourself owning this spectacular property. This unique 4360 sq ft Pioneer yellow cedar log house is situated on a 1.22 acre hillside property. It is not difficult to see yourself one late summer evening standing on the sundeck with a cocktail in hand watching the crimson sunset over Dragon Lake when the distant cry of a loon breaks the serenity of the moment. Being an avid fisherman you are excited to learn that Dragon Lake is rated number 4 in Canada as the best destination for rainbow trout fly fishing. As someone who enjoys the outdoors, you begin thinking about the coming winter with enjoyment as you anticipate cross country skiing at Hallis Lake. This world class Nordic ski facility has 2.5 kilometres of trails with lights for evening use, and best of all, it is only 15 kilometres away. You refocus your thoughts and think about the months you spent looking for the � right place�....a place that has privacy but still has all the modern day amenities without being isolated. Having done research, you know Quesnel ( a 10 minute drive away ) has an airport with daily commercial airline service to Vancouver and Prince George ( which has its international airline service is only 1 ½ hr drive away). Another concern you have is how to deal with your aging parents, but the new home�s self contained suite with ground level entry and drive in garage will provide them with a very comfortable new residence that allows you to easily monitor their well-being. From your research you also know that any future medical needs can easily be handled by the 17 doctors and 9 dentists that reside in Quesnel along with the modern 200-bed hospital.

Again, your thoughts return to purchasing this home, and you cannot help but be impressed with the workmanship and the recent refinishing of the logs and new chinking of the home. You are amazed by the colour match of the large adjacent workshop that blends into the log home. You notice the attention that has been given to the details of construction and you are overwhelmed by large vaulted ceilings, the size of the log walls, and the spectacular west facing window area. The large buffalo head hanging on the wall, the buffalo hide lying in front of the fireplace, and several pieces of native art all set the tone for the home. You think about how fortunate you would be to take up the Sellers offer to purchase some of the furnishings separately. As your tour continues, you cannot help but feel awed by the quality of construction, the new solid oak floors, doors, casings and window trim, in floor hot water heating, insulated blinds, new high quality plumbing fixtures and new lighting. You go outside and admire the gardens and the terraced area that features round Quesnel river rock walls. You notice the 1030 sq ft of everlasting simulated (concrete) rock cantilevered sundeck off the west side of the house where you will take in those unforgettable sunsets on Dragon lake and entertain many a quests. The last stop in your tour is the large 32�x52� workshop/garage. Your hobby is restoring cars and this building is perfect for that application. The building is heated, has ample electrical capability, high bearing load concrete floor, insulated, high ceiling, overhead doors, parts storage area, and an office.
All of a sudden you snap out of your day dream and your real estate agent begins talking to you. You shock him with your immediate response saying the property is perfect for your needs and you want to make a full priced offer. The rest will be history!!
