Kelowna Homes: What You Really Want in a Dream House

Kelowna homes in the Upper Mission offer those WOW views that everyone will love.

The kids have flown the coop. You’re tired of looking after a large property and house. You want a simple lifestyle, but still have access to amenities and activities. Out of Kelowna homes for sale, you’re likely looking for one that is near nature, has WOW views, and is easy to look after. You want a place where your kids or grandkids can still come visit, but where you can have your privacy.

This is your life, after all.

What’s in a home?

Empty nesters are often looking to downsize, but they still want enough room to move comfortably. Some homes in Kelowna, including Kelowna townhomes, may not be built to suit your needs. Looking for a home that not only respects place, but also space is important when looking at the Okanagan Valley real estate market.

Some things to think about include:

• Does the home have enough square-footage on the main or single level that will suit your needs?
• Does it have incredible views that can be taken in from all vantage points, including the kitchen and outdoor decks?
• Is there space for guests that still allows for privacy?
• Is the yard easy to look after?

Lifestyle counts for everything

Who doesn’t enjoy Kelowna real estate that feels like they’re on vacation 24/7; where you can sit on a deck above Okanagan Lake sipping on a local pinot noir, without a care in the world? With Kestrel Ridge as your home, you don’t have to leave.

Location, location, location

A sought after neighbourhood, the Kelowna Upper Mission area is where you can experience urban and rural Okanagan living all at once. Located away from highway noise, but close enough to shops and city amenities, the area is literally surrounded by nature – kestrels and other birds of prey can often be seen soaring above. The area is also known for:

• Award-winning wineries
• Orchards and farms offering fresh produce
• Golf courses
• Shops and restaurants – the village of Kettle Valley is walking distance or a short drive down the hill
• Kettle Valley Railway Trail
