It's surrounded by mountains and nature, not skyscrapers. ⛰️

Almost five acres of land to roam, nestled in the forest alongside a bright turquoise lake surrounded by mountains — all for less than the cost of a tiny Vancouver condo.

This cabin for sale in B.C. might not have the amenities that come with a Vancouver condo, but if you're day-dreaming of escaping the city life then it might just tempt you away.

The A-frame cabin with a loft is a little summer oasis on Seton Lake, with lake access for swimming, and an outdoor kitchen and campsites for guests.

It's listed for $540,000, and the listing says that it's water access, so you need to boat up to the cabin. It's about a 15-minute boat ride to this spot, but the lake doesn't freeze over in the winter so you get year-round access.

The real intrigue of this place though is the sprawling nature surrounding it. Stunning clear water you dive into, the forest all around, and a view like no other.

The cabin is set in Lillooet, which is about three and a half hours from Vancouver and known for its beauty. Snowmobiling, backcountry skiing and winter hiking take up the chilly season here, while the hot dry summers are great for gardening, swimming, and fishing.

According to WOWA, the average Vancouver condo is going for $766,769, making this spot a hefty $226,769 cheaper, for anyone looking to trade in the city-slicker summers for the great outdoors.
