Life is better in The Woods

Welcome
to The Woods

A private 15-acre sanctuary in the heart of the West Kootenays.

Nestled on a secluded mountainside along the breathtaking Selkirk Loop, The Woods offers the rare balance of total wilderness and easy access. Here, you’re hidden away with no neighbours in sight—just the sound of hummingbirds, the occasional roaming elk, and a private forest path leading you directly to the shores of Kootenay Lake.

While you’ll feel worlds away, the vibrant, eclectic energy of Nelson is only minutes from your door.

Nature at Your Pace

Whether you’re seeking a reprieve from the daily grind or a high-octane adventure, our property serves as your ultimate basecamp:

Summer & Fall: Swim in the lake, float the Slocan River, or explore world-class mountain biking and rock climbing. As the leaves change, enjoy the legendary fly-fishing British Columbia is famous for.
Winter: Experience the limitless pow of Whitewater Ski Resort (20 minutes away) or the massive terrain of Red Mountain. From backcountry touring to heli-skiing and snowshoeing, the Kootenay winter is at your fingertips.
Remote Work: High-speed peace and quiet. Trade your office walls for forest views and find a fresh perspective in a tranquil setting.

The Best of Both Worlds

After a day on the slopes or the water, return home for a soak in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. When you’re ready for culture, head into historic Nelson to explore world-renowned galleries, local boutiques, and a premier dining scene.

Experience the Kootenays as they were meant to be: wild, quiet, and completely yours.

Our Story

We’re a diverse group of friends who met through a shared love of adventure, snow, and community. For the past five years, we’ve been experimenting with co-living and remote working — blending independence with connection, solitude with shared meals, and nature with creativity.

This property marks our first major milestone together — a place we hope to share with others that can reflect the values we’ve lived by: balance, belonging, and connection with nature. Nestled within the infamous Kootenays, The Woods is a space where stories are shared, ideas flow, and the mountains are never far from view.

Whether you’re here to unplug, co-create, or carve fresh lines, we hope you feel the same sense of wonder and warmth that drew us to this magical piece of land in the first place.

Welcome to The Woods — a little piece of togetherness in the Kootenay wilds.
