About Coalmont & Tulameen, BC

The tiny villages of Coalmont and Tulameen are rural former-mining communities located in the Okanagan regional district. Like many communities in this area of British Columbia, their histories have intriguing ties to the gold rush in the late 1800s. These communities are located along the Kettle Valley Railway, which linked the area's boomtowns back in the 19th century. 

Today, heritage buildings, including old general stores and inns, provide a charming reminder of the history of these villages. Tulameen has a population of only around a hundred permanent residents, though the population more than doubles in the summer months as tourists and part-time residents come to enjoy the ample outdoor recreational opportunities in the community. 

Coalmont is of a similar size to Tulameen, with around a hundred locals. Coalmont's name indicates that its history is closely linked to the coal industry. Coal activity shut down back in the 1940s, causing a decline in the community's population. Both Coalmont and Tulameen are considered "ghost towns" because their populations have declined over time. Given these communities' unique old buildings and rugged natural surroundings, they represent great potential for real estate investors looking for properties well off the beaten path.
