108 Mile Ranch, British Columbia, is a charming residential community nestled in the South Cariboo region. This historic area, home to approximately 700 residences, is surrounded by picturesque ranches and serene lakes. The community's roots trace back to the great Cariboo Gold Rush, when some travelers decided to settle in this beautiful region.
In the late 1960s, Arthur and Henry Block transformed the 108 Ranch into a weekend holiday destination. They developed a golf course, complete with a restaurant, coffee shop, and pro shop, a hotel, and even an airport. What started as a small community of 25 families has now grown into a large-scale residential community.
One of the unique features of the 108 Mile Ranch community is its expansive green belt lands. These community parklands span more than 1,500 acres (610 ha) and include 108 and Sepa Lakes, Walker Valley, and numerous small patches scattered around the ranch.
108 Mile Ranch is conveniently located about 12 km (7.5 mi) north of 100 Mile House, just off Highway 97. The South Cariboo Regional Airport serves as the regional facility for the South Cariboo.
The 108 Heritage Site, located on Highway 97, is a popular tourist attraction. It boasts a growing number of restored buildings, including the largest log barn in Canada.
The South Cariboo Regional Airport, also known as the 108 Mile Ranch Airport (IATA: ZMH, ICAO: CZML), is a registered aerodrome located 5.3 nautical miles (9.8 km; 6.1 mi) northwest of the city. It serves as the regional aerodrome for the South Cariboo Regional District, capable of handling commercial passenger service, MEDEVAC, flight training, and corporate traffic.
