Living up the Lake - Balfour, Harrop, Procter & Kaslo

Population ~4,000 | Average home price ~$700,000

Life up the lake is quiet, slow, and deeply connected to nature. It’s shaped by lakeside rhythms, ferry crossings, and starry evenings along Kootenay Lake. The region is home to the famed Ainsworth Hot Springs, intriguing limestone caves, sandy beaches, and otherworldly alpine hikes at Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. Harrop and Procter are known for their tucked-away feel, strong sense of community, and peaceful lakeside living just a short trip from Nelson. The world’s longest free ferry crossing links Balfour and Crawford Bay, knitting these communities together, while historic and arts-rich Kaslo adds its own charm and quaint energy to the mix. It’s a place built for people who value space, nature, and a deep sense of peace.
