About South Thompson Valley

The South Thompson Valley is the area that stretches along the north bank of the North Thompson river starting at the Yellowhead Highway #5 and ending past Rivershore Golf Course. This region encompases a number of varying property types and it commonly features acreage properties along that stretch.

Starting furthest west, the South Thompson Valley features a few smaller acreages which are lease land property. There are some residential developments, one large one with over 100 homes is Sienna Ridge, located at the foot of Sun Rivers. There are a few mobile home parks with newer homes and nice river views. Traveling further east the acreages get larger and the South Thompson Valley is the home to two wineries: Harpers Trail and Sagewood. Past Lafarge, there are a number of estate properties located on larger lots.

The Rivershore Golf Course development is located 20 minutes east of the City of Kamloops and is easily accessible by mainly highway driving. Rivershore features a number of single family residential homes, many back on to the golf course. This is a bare land strata development, however all homes in this development are fully detached and only include basic services such as water, sewer, road maintenance and garbage pick up in the strata fee. Past Rivershore there are a number of acreage properties within the South Thompson River community. This region does not have any townhouse or condo development nor does it have any retail stores for shopping.

Students attend school with provided school bus services and there is currently no public transportation to this area. The closest shopping is at Dallas Town Centre with very basic shopping. Further along the valley is Valleyview with more shopping options. Valleyview is approximately 15 minutes or more from Rivershore.

This area is a beautiful region with river and hillside views. It allows owners to enjoy a bit of a rural life while still being close enough to the city amenities.
