LAND OPPORTUNITY: PRADHA FARM, OYAMA BC

Posted by Darcy Smith on April 16, 2018 1 Comment

ABOUT THE LAND

Located on 54 acres of ALR/A1 in Oyama, Lake Country, the property sits on a higher bench overlooking Wood and Kalamalka Lakes. On the higher levels of the property, the Okanagan Lake can also be seen between the hills, giving this property a tri-lake view that’s quite spectacular.

The vision is to partner with farmers for the development and support of local agriculture, a community apiary program in supporting the bee and other pollinator populations, and to build community capacity and empowerment with projects aimed towards social expressions for the local arts and music, and in celebrating cultural diversity. Eco tourism will be highlighted on the higher 43 acre portion of Pradha Farm with this in mind. Other opportunities are welcomed in conjunction of supporting university research aimed towards improvements practices based in ecology, agriculture, microbiology and waste management, and green energy living designs.IMG_4479

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

The lower 10 acres is ideal for agricultural development with easy access to the property off Talbot rd. The land has not been formally farmed and a meadow exists to support 2 acres of flat agricultural production, along with another 2 acres slightly sloped. Then another 3 acre supports a current equestrian training and seasonal horse trail riding business that runs throughout the 54 acres of land to beautiful vistas and forest trails. The property is partially fenced but needs repair in some areas for raising range animals on the 54 acres.  The property has its own water supply that would sustain irrigation for 10 acres and the property’s residential use. Electricity is also available for mobile living arrangements such as a tiny home, or RV for farmers who come with their own mobile housing.

One larger dwelling exists that is currently occupied by the landowner’s family. A yurt will be erected for possible use year round and three tiny homes are on the property in support of individuals looking to live in smaller green energy designs.

Pradha Farm would like to create living spaces for those interested in developing the property with a variety of agricultural projects that meet its vision of self-sustainable practices.

Looking for individuals with multiple trades and skills to include:
Experienced organic farmers
Carpenters/builders/and other trades most welcomed

  1. Sorry we did not make it to your event last, but did hear it. Maybe when you have some time in the near future you could come sit with me for a minutes. I have some questions for you about the amount of traffic and changes that we may be looking at as you develop your property. I was on your website last night and of course looked at your information on Young Agrarians. All interesting.
