Crystal Waters Ranch - 39,946 Acres For Sale - Bridge Lake, BC Selling Online May 19, 2026 at 9:00am PDT The Price listed is the Starting Bid. See Website for Updates & Details. British Columbia ranches are world renowned for those looking to preserve the ranchers’ way of life and connect with the land. ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ epitomizes this lifestyle with a bespoke spread fit to carry on the legacy and tradition of a rancher’s life. With 450 deeded acres, and an additional 39,000 + licensed acres, this is the ranch that could make your wild-west fantasies come true. Located halfway between Little Fort and 100 Mile House in British Columbia, ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ can be found less than three miles southwest of Bridge Lake, in an area often referred to as the Jewel of the Cariboo. Nestled in the wilderness with mountains, rivers, lakes, and wildlife as your only neighbors, ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ offers unmatched value and an exclusivity that is rare to find in our modern age. Harkening back to the pioneering days of the wild west, the Cleveland family have been stewards of exceptional BC ranches for more than a century, beginning in the Eagan Lake country. Fast forward three generations and the current owner, Gary Cleveland, is a well-known multigenerational rancher in the area with a reputation for producing some of the best quarter horses in Western Canada. With the structure and temperament to repeatedly endure a hard day’s work, these horses were bred to thrive and endure in this environment. The success of the ranch stems not only from the breeding program, but also from the composition of the ranch itself. ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ offers an abundance of clean water and boasts gently undulating terrain with just the right mix of sun, shade, and drainage resulting from a gentle slope towards the lake. The existing fencing benefits from annual updates, with the gates and cross fences advantageously constructed to support herd health as well as pasture management. Typical ranch planning included roughly 400 yearlings on the Crown Licence for the summer, while the horses were pastured around Muskrat Lake, which is fed from Rayfield Creek. Gary also rents acres near the ranch for putting up hay and the new owners may want to investigate continuing with this program as it suits their needs. The nearby Community Hall and rodeo grounds are notoriously great places to meet the neighbors and enjoy a night out. For those looking to enjoy the deeply rewarding benefits of living on the land and relishing the tranquil solitude of the country while still appreciating the modern conveniences of today’s society, ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ is located less than four miles off the pavement, boasts fibre-optic cable to three different locations on the ranch allowing Wi-Fi access, and is within range for Amazon deliveries. Take the 1-ton truck or the classic Camaro into town – this ranch offers an opportunity to get dirty and dusty, all while diversifying your wealth portfolio and appreciate the quiet moments in life. ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ includes a 130’ x 220’ total size (70’ x 180’ open arena size) indoor riding arena with indoor cattle handling facilities that is complete with a 1-bedroom apartment. There is also a shop measuring 40’ x 80’ that was built in 2013, with a 20’ x 40’ heated area that comes from wood and radiant heat. The 12’x 68’ mobile home includes an addition and a pellet stove, and there is another 14’ x 60’ senior-inhabited mobile home that includes a carport and a covered deck. There are five-stock waterers and two standpipes for ease of livestock watering at the ranch headquarters, as well as an extensive rail corral system with shelters and a round pen. The 400-head feedlots offer good drainage and a feed fence in place so there is no need to open a gate for feeding with this setup. The old wagon trail that leads back to the highway can be found along the northern boundary of the ranch. This outdoor paradise is located near Sheridan and Bridge Lakes, providing excellent opportunities for the weekend boating trips with the family, and the ranch is situated just west of Crystal Lake, perfect for fishing trips with loved ones. As some acres within ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ are zoned for Agricultural Tourism, there may be opportunity to expand this exceptional ranch into the vibrant BC tourism market. American buyers will want to take note of the favorable currency exchange; a Canadian ranch with private lakes, a picturesque creek, and an animal sanctuary may be the perfect alternative to a busy urban lifestyle. The favorable climate between the Cariboo and Coast Mountain ranges offers the perfect spot to recharge away from the bustle of an urban setting and enjoy the four distinct seasons this incredible country has to offer. The extensive network of horseback riding trails, water rights, as well as a private lake combine to create a ranching experience like no other. ‘Crystal Waters Ranch’ is being offered for sale via online escalating tender by CLHbid.com.
