Stave Falls is one of Mission’s most remote residential communities — a rural area north of the main Mission township, set in the valley carved by the Stave River below Stave Lake. The neighbourhood takes its name from the Stave Falls Dam and generating station, one of BC Hydro’s historic hydroelectric facilities on the Stave River system. Properties in this area are genuinely rural: acreages, cabin-style homes, and rural residential lots set in second-growth forest and river valley terrain that feels remote despite technically remaining within Mission’s municipal boundary.
Infrastructure in Stave Falls reflects its rural character. Well water and septic systems are universal — there is no municipal water or sewer service in this area. The road network is primarily two-lane rural roads, and some secondary properties in the area have unpaved access. Homes range from basic cabin-style structures to custom rural homes built by owners who specifically sought this remote setting. The construction quality and systems condition of Stave Falls properties varies more widely than any other Mission neighbourhood, making thorough pre-purchase home inspection — including well testing, septic assessment, and structural evaluation — particularly important.
Stave Lake is the primary recreational draw: boating, fishing, and paddling on one of the largest reservoirs in the lower Fraser Valley watershed. BC Hydro operates a public boat launch at Davis Lake Provincial Park nearby, and the Stave River recreational area attracts anglers pursuing steelhead and trout. For buyers who specifically want rural isolation, recreational waterfront access, and a genuine back-country residential lifestyle within reach of Mission’s services, Stave Falls offers something genuinely rare in the Metro Vancouver commuter orbit.
Best for: Buyers seeking true rural isolation and recreational waterfront access, cabin and retreat property buyers, and individuals specifically drawn to the Stave Lake recreational corridor.
Top services needed: Roofing (rural and cabin-style homes with often-aging roofing), plumbing (well and septic service in remote settings), HVAC (wood-burning, propane, and electric heating systems in rural properties), tree service (heavily treed rural lots and windfall management), pest control (rural forest setting), electrical (generator and off-grid system maintenance).
