Minto Manor: A Revelstoke Icon Reborn

805 & 815 Mackenzie Avenue | Now Listed for $7.5M

There are houses — and then there are homes that define a community.
formerly Minto Manor belongs in the second category.

This lovingly restored 1905 Edwardian landmark is now on the market — offering one lucky buyer the chance to own a piece of Revelstoke history, thoughtfully reimagined for modern mountain living.

A Story 120 Years in the Making

Built in 1905 by prominent local businessman Robert Howson, Minto Manor was once considered Revelstoke’s grandest residence. Over the decades, it served many purposes — including as a family home and long-running bed & breakfast.

But by the 2010s, time had taken its toll.

Enter Andrew Goldman, who in 2017 partnered with Revelstoke’s Wellwood Custom Homes to undertake one of the most ambitious heritage restorations the community has seen.

The team worked meticulously to preserve and rebuild the home:
✅ A brand new foundation
✅ Fully rebuilt concrete-block exterior (using local masons to replicate the original blocks)
Warmboard radiant floor heating throughout
✅ Reclaimed elements preserved for local archives — including original doors and fireplace mantels
✅ Iconic stained glass windows remain, casting colourful reflections across the home

As designer Melanie Bernier put it in a recent Revelstoke Review interview:
“We wanted to respect the soul of this house, but make it livable, light-filled, and welcoming for the next hundred years.”

Inside the Manor

Today, Minto Manor offers over 5,300 sq ft of elevated living across four floors, perched on a quiet stretch of Mackenzie Avenue in the heart of downtown Revelstoke.

Key features include:
🛏️ 5 spacious bedrooms — all with en-suites
🛁 7 bathrooms in total
🔥 Open-concept living + chef’s kitchen with custom millwork
🎹 Grand piano space + formal media room + private gym
🖼️ North- and south-facing balconies with jaw-dropping views of Mt. Begbie, Mt. Cartier, RMR, and the Columbia River
🪵 Thoughtfully chosen materials — concrete, hardwood, glass, custom metalwork
🛠️ Detached 2-car garage with approved plans for a manager’s suite
🛋️ Most furnishings included in the sale — fully curated for the space

Outdoor living:

  • Wrap-around covered deck

  • Hot tub area

  • Traditional gazebo under construction

  • Professionally landscaped double lot backing the Columbia River

  • Underground irrigation system

Designed for Life (and Business)

One of Minto Manor’s most intriguing features is its special B&B zoning — offering unique revenue potential for a luxury hospitality operation. Approved plans for an additional manager’s suite above the garage add even more flexibility.

Whether you envision this as a family estate, a luxury vacation home, or an iconic boutique B&B, the potential is unmatched.
