Featured Project - Kitsault |
|
|
|
Who do you call when you need to sell an entire
town? NIHO Land and Cattle Co. Ltd's
"Consulting Division" developed the strategic
marketing plan for the sale of the Kitsault
townsite. |
| |
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
Located 500 air miles north-west of Vancouver,
and a 3.5 hour drive north of Terrace, Kitsault
was once a thriving coastal community on the
shores of the Alice Arm fjord. The town is
surrounded by snow-capped mountains and is
situated on approximately 1.5 miles of ocean
front. It has been vacant since the early 1980s
when a nearby molybdenum mine shut down. A
caretaker and his wife are the only residents
who remain. |
|
|
The Kitsault town site consists of over 322
acres on eight titles. It includes approximately
90 houses and duplexes, seven apartment
buildings (which contain a combination of over
200 bachelor, one and two bedroom units) over
twenty foundations for double wide mobile homes,
a shopping centre, two recreation centres, a
hospital, a large works yard and a local dock. |
|
|
The 22,000 square foot shopping centre has
premises suitable for a grocery store, liquor
store, bank, hardware store, restaurant, post
office, and other specialty stores. Together, the
two recreation centres include a swimming pool,
hot tub and whirl pool, locker rooms, gymnasium,
a library, curling rink, and even the Maple Leaf
pub. The Kitsault General Hospital is equipped
with X-ray diagnostic equipment, operating
equipment, examination room, waiting/reception
area and a suite to house visiting physicians
and dentists. |
|
|
Throughout Kitsault, all utilities including
telephone and cablevision have been installed
underground. Pavement, curbs and landscaping
have enhanced the human engineered aspects of
the town site. There is even a complete sewage
system with lift stations and sewage treatment
plant. |
|
|
"This is a spectacular location and the
potential uses for Kitsault are virtually
limitless," says Rudy Nielsen, President of NIHO
Land & Cattle Company. "It could be revitalized
as a destination resort or vacation retreat or
maybe a cruise ship facility. A buyer could
subdivide the property and sell recreational
homes. The water, the mountains, everything is
here - even a good sized town. With a little TLC, anything is
possible." |
|
|
LandQuest Realty Corp.
(www.landquest.com) SOLD the Kitsault town site.
LandQuest is an affiliate of NIHO Land & Cattle
Company, the consultant on the project. |
