located in british columbia’s south cariboo, paradise bay estate sits within a region known as the land of hidden waters. this scenic area— referred to as the interlakes—is defined by its twelve breathtaking lakes, each celebrated for their pristine beauty and exceptional fishing. among them, bridge lake stands out as one of the most well-regarded.
bridge lake
spanning 4.35 miles (7 kilometres) in length and offering over 18.64 miles (30 kilometres) of shoreline, bridge lake is nestled at 3,727 feet (1,136 metres) above sea level. its clean, clear waters are known for world-class sport fishing, with a diverse range of species thriving throughout the seasons. the lake is surrounded by vast tracts of forested crown land and dotted with uninhabited crown islands. protected bays and a naturally picturesque shoreline contribute to its sense of remoteness and beauty.
accessibility
despite its wilderness feel, the bridge lake area is remarkably accessible from major centres and transportation hubs:
5 hours from vancouver (yvr – vancouver international airport)
1.5 hours (150 km / 93 miles) northwest of kamloops (yka – kamloops airport)
30 minutes (50 km / 31 miles) east of 100 mile house (cav3 – south cariboo regional airport)
10 minutes (15 km / 9 miles) east of the interlakes community
seaplane accessible from anywhere in british columbia
this combination of scenic seclusion and practical accessibility makes bridge lake one of bc’s most desirable four-season recreational destinations.
hidden on the shores of bridge lake, paradise bay estate offers not just land, but a return—to still mornings, to starlit nights, to the rhythms of the wild. with each season, nature writes its story across this vast, untouched shoreline, waiting for yours to begin .
set in the uplands of british columbia’s storied cariboo region, paradise bay estate spans 126 unspoiled acres (51 hectares) along the eastern edge of bridge lake on the shores of the prestigious paradise bay. this lakefront expanse lies just off of highway 24—known as the “fisherman’s highway”—between kamloops and 100 mile house, within easy reach of the interlakes community. with a floatplane-accessible shoreline and two road access points, it is as practical as it is pristine.
the waterfront
the estate boasts over 3,280 feet (1,000 metres) of mixed low and high bank shoreline. east-facing, the lakefront unfolds with rock bluffs, forested points, and secluded coves, offering multiple prime building sites with sweeping views across protected crown land (public land) islands. bridge lake’s clean waters are celebrated for premier sport fishing, recreational boating, waterskiing, and year-round recreation. with its numerous pristine bays, channels, islands, and secluded coves to explore bridge lake is extremely popular among paddle boarders and kayakers,
land use
zoned for 4.94-acre (2-hectare) residential parcels, the property supports up to 19 subdivided lots, or a single family compound of generational scale. it is not within the agricultural land reserve (meaning residential development restrictions) and is exempt from canada’s foreign buyer ban. access is provided from both bell road and rosia road, enhancing flexibility for estate planning or development.
a canvas of canadian wilderness
the land is richly forested with healthy stands of first and second growth fir, spruce, and pine, interwoven with indigenous groundcover and summer wildflowers. wildlife abounds—this is a known corridor for moose and mule deer, while paradise bay itself serves as a breeding ground for loons and spawning habitat for rainbow and kokanee trout. many waterfowl and shorebirds call paradise bay home.
four seasons of beauty and sport
bridge lake is one of british columbia’s premier fishing lakes, with rainbow trout, kokanee, char, and brook trout thriving in its depths. beyond the water, nearby trails and backcountry routes invite hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding in the spring, summer and fall. cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing define the winter experience. year-round, star-filled skies, and the sound of silence lead to serene nights on the lake.
absolute privacy, unlimited potential
with no existing structures and crown land largely surrounding the property, paradise bay estate is a blank canvas for your vision. few easily accessible lakefront parcels of this size remain today. whether you imagine a family retreat, multi-home compound, or boutique development, the property’s scale, setting, and freedom from restriction make it a singular opportunity to claim your piece of british columbia’s untouched interior.
