137 Highland Drive, Okanagan Falls BC

A luxury property worthy of an immediate Carriage Trade Designation in the beautiful Lakeshore Highlands. I grew up in this neighbourhood and what I love more than anything about these properties are the generous parcel sizes! This home is completely private on 3/4 acre. It has 180 degree unfettered incredibly breathtaking lakeview of Skaha Lake. I can not describe the serenity that accompanies a view like this, you are close but elevated with no neighbours in sight. Relax in the comfort of your own home, pool, garden, green park like landscaping. It does not get any better than this!

Blasted Church winery is just down the gravel road amongst orchards, farm fresh fruit and veg at Mclean Creek farms in the summer months, I can let you in on some spectacular gems for hiking, get to know the little local beach access points.

This home was redone when I sold it to these owners. They went ahead and carried on with massive improvements to make it a highly desired BnB with several master suites, and finishing touches for the forever owner. Salt Water self cleaning pool (YES!), hot tub several outdoor areas to choose from. Gorgeous furnishings inside and out are all negotiable for a turn key luxury life with nothing left to be desired.  Book your private viewing today, watch the video (we did a super fast video to get this on the market between BnB guests and my videographers’ summer vacation) (who does that?!)  locals do, locals take staycations so luckily he didn’t mind a few hours at this one!! Thank you Thomas for getting this together so quickly! Please enjoy, share and use that BnB income for something fun 🙂
I love this home, this area and am more than happy to answer any questions you have!

California living in the Okanagan! This completely private property, nestled on a bluff just above Skaha Lake has unparalleled 180 views; arguably the best in the entire valley.

The location is perfectly situated for easy access to the wineries in Oliver, Osoyoos, Penticton, Naramata, and Summerland. Three bedrooms have ensuite water views, & ample closet space. The Master has two his-and-hers walk-in closets. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with Miele appliances (fridge, steam and convection ovens, induction stove top, & dishwasher). There is a wine fridge, bar area & a butler’s pantry. The dining & living rooms are part of the open-concept entertaining area and connect seamlessly to the pool & outdoor living spaces. The lower level includes a media room (which can double as another guest room), full bath, gym, wine cellar, & storage room. This is a spectacular one-of-a-kind home. A True Oasis.
