Ranch Location Siwash Lake is situated on a 300-acre private estate, off-grid in the heart of British Columbia's Cariboo region. Perched 3,600 feet above sea level, it sits high atop a vast plateau that stretches from BC's coastal mountains to the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Getting here is part of the adventure! The heart of the ranch is a verdant oasis surrounded by 10,000 acres of regenerating landscapes — patches of burnt, ebony forests flanked by meadows, lakes and two meandering rivers. Grasslands roll gently between rugged canyons, where cowboys still tend to cattle on horseback and where swathes of pink fireweed make for vibrant days in the saddle. These are the wild and remote ranchlands of BC's southern interior. We gratefully acknowledge that Siwash Lake lies in the unceded territories of the Secwepemc Nation. We respectfully honour their people, cultures and traditions.
