100 Mile House, British Columbia: Houses, Acreages and Land in the Cariboo

100 Mile House lies on Highway 97 in the Cariboo, a region of ranches, lakes and forest, several hours north of Vancouver. Winters are cold and snowy, and the area is known for cross-country skiing, fishing and horse country. Wildfire seasons have affected the region in recent years, so ask about insurance and evacuation history.

Nearby places include 108 Mile Ranch, a lakeside community just north, and Williams Lake, the region's larger service town. Kamloops, Chase and Sun Peaks are in the Thompson region to the south, each a different market, a long way down the highway.

• Foreign-buyer rules. A federal ban on foreign purchases of residential property runs to 1 January 2027, and British Columbia has a 20% foreign buyer tax in designated regions. Ask a lawyer whether either applies to your address.
• Water and septic. Many rural homes rely on wells and septic fields; request tests.
• Agricultural Land Reserve. Land inside the reserve has use restrictions.
• Property transfer tax. BC charges tax on a sliding scale of the price.
