Safe Harbour at Charlotte Lake is a rare legacy estate and private four-season sanctuary in British Columbia’s western Chilcotin. This architecturally significant, fully off-grid waterfront compound is designed for independence, resilience, and refined comfort in an extraordinary wilderness setting. Authentic Chilcotin log craftsmanship is seamlessly paired with advanced infrastructure, creating a self-sufficient retreat of lasting quality.

Master-planned by renowned architect Rick Hulbert and built by Pioneer Log Homes—featured on Timber Kings—the estate reflects meticulous execution across every structure and system. Significant investment ensures seamless year-round performance: underground utilities, redundant solar and generator capacity, deep-water lake pumping with licensed domestic water rights, advanced fire protection, and comprehensive communications infrastructure combine to create a secure, autonomous compound rarely found in remote environments.

The main residence offers thoughtful single-level living, where kitchen, dining, and great room flow beneath dramatic log beams. Expansive windows capture uninterrupted lake and mountain views, while covered decks, a hot tub, and a propane-heated lounge extend living outdoors for gathering and relaxation. Deep overhangs balance seasonal light, dual wood and propane heating ensure dependable comfort, and Talius metal roll shutters secure the home during extended absences.

Two guest cabins—East by North and West by North—provide flexible accommodations with warm log interiors, custom bunks, private baths, kitchenettes, and inviting porches. The “Town Hall” lodge adds a refined communal space with wet bar, kitchenette, and corner office—ideal for remote work or entertaining. Supporting improvements include a fully equipped workshop, organized storage buildings, multiple fuel sheds, and the Woodhenge pole shed, enabling efficient compound operations.

At its core is a sophisticated off-grid energy system. A 48-volt solar array with parallel Outback inverter stacks is complemented by a 20KW Isuzu diesel generator and a 30KW Cummins propane generator, delivering seamless power redundancy. Deep-water pumps, pressure tanks, UV filtration, and a backup drilled well provide reliable potable water. Underground propane lines and insulated distribution systems support heating, hot water, and greenhouse operations. Nine winterized hydrants and roof-mounted sprinklers provide comprehensive fire protection, with systems engineered for automatic, reliable performance.

Amenities further elevate the estate. A boathouse constructed with Kingfisher Docks marine-grade components accommodates two vessels and includes a fish-cleaning station and smokehouse. A geodesic greenhouse dome with solar-powered climate control allows year-round cultivation. Landscaped patios, a gazebo with integrated sound and propane features, and horseshoe lanes create diverse outdoor spaces framed by pristine views.

Recreation surrounds the property. Sheltered bays invite paddleboarding, swimming, and winter ice activities, while forest trails encourage hiking and ATV exploration. The greater Chilcotin offers heli-skiing, guided horseback expeditions through the Rainbow and Itcha-Ilgachuz ranges, fly-in fishing to remote lakes, and acclaimed salmon and steelhead fishing in the Bella Coola River system. Wildlife sightings—grizzly bear, eagle, and other native species—are part of the experience.

Approximately three and a half hours from Williams Lake and near Anahim Lake Airport, served year-round by Pacific Coastal Airlines, the estate remains accessible yet removed from public corridors, preserving exceptional privacy.

Safe Harbour at Charlotte Lake is more than a residence; it is a fully realized, self-contained lifestyle designed for discerning ownership—offering security, architectural integrity, and enduring beauty in one of British Columbia’s most remarkable wilderness settings.
