Infastructure
Though Four Hearts Ranch is more than the sum of its parts, it’s made up of some impressive parts.
Road System
The ranch is connected by an impressively constructed, well maintained road system.
From the Main Gate, the road rises gently through rolling meadows past the Gate House and Outpost, winding through forests past the Equestrian Centre, emerging at the entrance to the Main House.
From the heart of the ranch, roads lead throughout the property to all the structures and four gated access points with convenient but secure access to public roads.
The hub of the house is a large kitchen and living room. An archway leads past a massive stone fireplace to a bright open space with formal dining, a fully equipped prep kitchen/bar, and a quiet family room with its own wood stove. Glass doors open to a wraparound deck with stairs down to the manicured lawns and the lake.

Two beautifully crafted log staircases lead up to separate third floor bedroom spaces. Above the kitchen is the roomy, private primary suite. A matching staircase accesses the 3 bedrooms and bathroom on the west side of the house. A charming bedroom and bathroom sit behind the main floor family room. Below is a walk out bedroom, bathroom and generous storage spaces.
A charming one room log cabin sits between the house’s wrap around deck and the lake.
The detached barn was improved to create a large garage for vehicles, boats, ATVs, other toys and equipment, plus ample storage for all the gear required for your adventures. Above is a 2nd floor recreation/bunk room and more storage.
Large living spaces, and capacity to sleep multiple families make this the perfect place to host large groups.
Simon Lake covers over 200 clean, clear acres and is one of the top Rainbow Trout fishing lakes in BC.
