Houston is a small community between Prince
George and Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert which is 4 1/2 hours from Houston
has a new container port opening up.
Houston, which is the world renown
Steelhead fishing capital of Canada is a wilderness lover's dream.
Hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, swimming, paddling and of course
the world class fishing on the many lakes and rives that surround the area
make this a wonderful country home or commercial investment opportunity.
The community of Houston has lumber, mining
and tourism as their main industry. This property is only 3 minutes from
town- approximately 2.5 km. |

96 acres along hwy 16 west
in Houston. There is hwy frontage, railway access and 1 mile of river

Behind

one sliding door on the far side. The furthest bay in this photo is
set up for fixing radiators. Heat is wood fueled. |
The
Little Bulkley river flows for a mile along the backside of the
property. Part of the river was diked. The salmon and eels spawn in
the river each year. This is the area in which our children would swim
in the summer months. You would almost always see some kind of
wildlife from moose, bear, beaver, deer, fox, otter, porcupine. |

Along
the river. The trees along the river are cottonwood, alder and
pine. Just along this arm of the river there is a weeping willow tree
that the moose often nibble on. |
The dike
along the river. This is towards the end of the diked area. Lots of
happy times wading up the river in summer. Watching the fish spawn and
occasionally people will float down the river on tubes. |

The
property is fairly flat. It had been looked at for cranberry growing
at one time. In this photo- to the right is a small sawmill that has
been set up. To the left is a covered storage area large enough for a
vehicle or equipment. |
Cottonwood, spruce, pine and alder trees. There is a mixture of
wildberries at the far end of the property. Also on the property is a
gravel pit. Property is ready for development. |

The
cleared field facing the highway is approximately 20 acres. Property
has been fenced and cross fenced. Owner previously had cattle. A
local farmer hays the field each year. The property also has several
ponds and the Canada geese land here each year. |
Many years ago there was a
sawmill on this property and this burner is like a landmark and
conversation piece. It has been used as shelter for animals both
domestic and wild. |
