Two and a Half Acres of Life Uninterrupted
Beyond private gates in Lake Country, a tree-lined drive winds through mature, established gardens toward a residence that commands its setting rather than simply occupying it. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass draw in uninterrupted, 180-degree views of lake and mountain from nearly every principal room. Mornings here tend to start at the windows, coffee in hand, watching the light dance over the lake.
The shoreline is the property’s rarest asset. Level, sandy beach, 250 feet of it, a genuine scarcity on Okanagan Lake, stretches below the home, accessed by an easy paved path complete with a tranquil water feature, the kind of walk that turns an errand into a small daily pleasure. A new dock outfitted with three boat lifts, rated for vessels up to 33,000 pounds, sits ready for a season of open water, while the adjacent infinity-edge, gas-heated saltwater pool and tiled hot tub appear to dissolve into the horizon at dusk, a favourite spot, no doubt, for watching the sky change colour over dinner.
Inside, over 7,300-square-feet of custom-built living space separates public and private life with unusual clarity. The primary wing occupies its own section of the home, pairing the principal suite with a private office finished in inlaid hardwood, a curved library reached by rolling ladder, and a see-through gas fireplace shared with the bedroom beyond, a warm welcome on cooler Okanagan evenings. Walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a tiled walk-in shower complete the ensuite, while a lakeview alcove holds a soaker tub steps from a private gym, wine room, and patio access.
The walk-out level opens into a great room defined by two-storey ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone, wood-burning fireplace, built for the kind of evenings when the whole family ends up in one room without quite planning it. Nano doors lead from the dining area to a covered patio, and the kitchen, finished in cherrywood cabinetry with granite counters, is outfitted for serious cooking: a side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator, five-burner Thermador gas range, Bosch wall oven, Dacor warming oven, and a walk-in pantry with a full water filtration system. A separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom suite with its own entrance and patio offers flexible space for extended family or a caretaker.
For the collector, the estate answers a question few properties can. An attached five-car garage handles daily needs, while a detached 1,889-square-feet shop, finished with stucco and stone exterior, tile roof, and ceramic tile flooring, provides showroom-quality space for up to six additional vehicles. High ceilings and purpose-built lighting show off every angle, and the space is finished with a granite bar, a walk-in wine and beverage cooler, a two-piece bathroom, and a dedicated conference area, effectively a private clubhouse built around the cars themselves, and, on a Saturday afternoon, likely the busiest room in the house.
Available for viewing by appointment with Priscilla & Company, this custom-built home at 14966 Carrs Landing Road is in a style reminiscent of a grand European villa, designed from the outset around the Okanagan waterfront lifestyle it inhabits. Every sunset over the lake becomes part of the property’s daily rhythm, and every space, from the beach to the six-car shop, has been built to be lived in, not simply admired.
