Location: The home is located in an area of orchards, vineyards and forest just above the charming village of Okanagan Center. The Kelowna International Airport is only fifteen minutes away. Car rental available at this airport. Closer still is the town of Winfield, where you can find IGA and Save On grocery stores, liquor stores, pharmacies, and other daily needs. Right at the end of the driveway there is a path which leads straight down to Okanagan Lake. It is a 10 minute walk down to the lake. It is a bit steep but is maintained and packed down. At the lake there is a beautiful path running through the trees all along the shoreline. There are also two cafes where you can stop for refreshments, have lunch, ice cream cones and rent kayaks and paddle boards.
The area is called Lake Country because it includes four beautiful lakes. Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, Wood Lake and Duck Lake. Casa Vista overlooks Okanagan Lake. Each offers its own attractions for example there is a lovely sandy beach at the south end of Wood Lake which is a 10 minute drive from the house. There is also a Rail Trail which runs along the East side of Wood Lake and is a beautiful walking and biking trail. The resort city of Kelowna, 25 minutes to the south, boasts fabulous restaurants, shops and entertainment. Lake Country is a District Municipality with a population of approximately 12,000 in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada. The city of Kelowna lies to the south, while the city of Vernon lies to the north. As its name suggests, there are a number of lakes in the vicinity of Lake Country, and outside the municipal boundaries in the hills to the east. Okanagan Lake acts as the western boundary of the municipality, while the entirety of Wood Lake and the southern-most portion of Kalamalka Lake are encompassed by it.
In the winter, the ski resorts of Big White and Silverstar are both only 45 minutes away.
The Okanagan is renowned for its numerous outstanding wineries. One of the best, Gray Monk, is just down the road from Casa Vista.
For boaters you will be pleased that there is a Safe Harbour for launching your boat only 5 minutes from the house. It is in Okanagan Centre. There is plenty of room beside the house to park a boat.
