Life, Designed Around the Lake
Some homes are built beside the lake. This one was designed to live with it — a turnkey Kootenay Lake waterfront retreat with expansive decks, a private dock, renovated interiors, and a setting that defines the experience.
View the Full ListingThe Setting Comes First
Set along the sun-drenched shoreline of Queens Bay, the property immediately draws your eye to the water. The home sits close to Kootenay Lake, with landscaped outdoor living spaces, a private beach, and mountain views that shift beautifully throughout the day.
Life Begins on the Deck
Every great lake home has one place where everyone naturally gathers. Here, it is the expansive covered deck overlooking Kootenay Lake — a space for morning coffee, long dinners, quiet reading, and evenings spent watching the light move across the mountains.
“A home designed to live with the outdoors, not simply beside it.”
Designed Around the View
Inside, the home carries a calm, contemporary lakeside feel. Warm wood ceilings, oversized windows, open living spaces, and a wood stove create a relaxed gathering area where the lake remains the focus from nearly every angle.
The Kitchen at the Heart
The renovated kitchen brings everyday living back to the view, with generous prep space, warm cabinetry, and windows that make the lake part of the room.
Dining by the Water
Meals feel connected to the landscape, with the dining area positioned directly toward Kootenay Lake and the mountains beyond.
Wake Up to the Water
The bedroom continues the home’s connection to the outdoors, with warm ceilings, natural light, mountain views, and direct access to the deck. It feels quiet, simple, and beautifully connected to the shoreline just beyond.
Your Own Shoreline
Not every waterfront property offers a shoreline that feels this usable. Here, the beach, clear water, private dock, and open lakeside areas create space for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply settling into a chair at the water’s edge.
Where the Lake Becomes Your Backyard
Launch a kayak at sunrise, spend the afternoon swimming from the dock, or simply watch the shifting reflections across Kootenay Lake. This is the part of the property buyers remember — the moment the lifestyle becomes easy to imagine.
Evening by the Water
As evening settles in, the outdoor kitchen, warm lighting, covered deck, and surrounding trees create a relaxed place to gather after a day on the lake. It is casual, comfortable, and beautifully tied to the landscape.
Space to Welcome Family and Friends
Beyond the main living areas, the property offers flexible guest space and outdoor areas that make longer stays feel easy. Open doors, covered decks, and connected spaces give the home a relaxed rhythm that is ideal for summer weekends and lakeside gatherings.
“Some of the best rooms in this home do not have four walls.”

Queens Bay, Set Along Kootenay Lake
Queens Bay is known for its quiet shoreline, forested mountainsides, and relaxed lakefront pace. The setting feels private and removed, while still keeping you connected to nearby Balfour, Ainsworth Hot Springs, Kaslo, and Nelson for recreation, dining, shops, services, and community life.
Explore the Area
From the shoreline of Kootenay Lake to nearby trails, marinas, the Balfour ferry, Kaslo, Ainsworth Hot Springs, and Nelson, this stretch of the Kootenays offers the kind of everyday recreation that makes lake life feel full in every season.
A Unique Waterfront Opportunity
This property has important right-of-way considerations that buyers should review carefully. The full listing notes that the structures sit within the Ministry of Transportation and Transit highway right-of-way, that conventional financing is not an option, and that the property requires a cash buyer. For the right buyer, the opportunity is a turnkey Queens Bay waterfront lifestyle with exceptional lake access, extensive improvements, and a setting that is difficult to replicate.
A Waterfront Lifestyle Worth Discovering
Some homes impress with their features. Others leave a lasting impression because of how they make you feel. From morning coffee overlooking the water to evenings gathered on the deck, 1726 Highway 31 offers a lifestyle shaped by the lake, the mountains, and the quiet beauty of Queens Bay.
