 A Welcome Setting

Set on a 35-acre estate, Harvest Ridge is the very definition of luxury. A gated entry opens to a long stretch of driveway, which leads to a cascading water feature at the main entrance of this stunning 5940 square foot contemporary home. Once inside, the floor-to-ceiling windows allow the orchard and lake views to take center stage. Nestled in the middle of East Kelowna’s rolling hills, Harvest Ridge is a one-of-a-kind property that holds the perfect balance between opulent, modern architecture, and a sun-soaked orchard oasis.

 The Great Outdoors

There is no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy at Harvest Ridge. Take a morning dip in the pool, hit the tennis court for an afternoon match, or take a walk through the meticulously kept gardens and orchard. Not only does the estate offer plenty of reasons to play outside but it’s only a stone’s throw away from The Harvest Golf Course — a championship-length course designed by renowned Canadian golf course architect, Graham Cooke.

Planting the Seed

Blair and Karen describe the orchard bloom as nothing short of breathtaking. The sun soaked hills of East Kelowna, coupled with blooming trees make for the kind of flourishing conditions that Okanagan dreams are made of. That being said, the making of this luxury orchard estate did not happen overnight – this stunning piece of property was a carefully planned and meticulously cared for labour of love that has been over 12 years in the making.

Lake Life

Hot summer weather and refreshing lake water are a match made in heaven and Okanagan Lake is the perfect local for any water enthusiast. The lake’s water temperature in July averages 19° to 23° Celsius making it perfect for stand up paddle boarding, house boating, water skiing, sailing, or kayaking. Lakeside patio dining or a leisurely boardwalks troll is an equally enjoyable way to experience the lake if you are looking to stay dry.

Food and Wine

The Okanagan Valley is British Columbia’s premier grape growing region. An ever-changing panorama, the valley stretches over 250 kilometres and grows a wide range of varietals. From world-class operations to family-run boutique vineyards, Okanagan wineries are rich with character and consistently ranked among the world’s best at international competitions. With agriculture at the heart of this region, you may find yourself wandering through gardens and vineyards with a glass of merlot in hand.
