Lake Country is a fast-growing District municipality just 15 to 20 minutes north of Kelowna, set between Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake and the famously colourful Kalamalka Lake. Known for its wineries, orchards, beaches and the Okanagan Rail Trail, it offers a relaxed lakeside lifestyle with newer homes, lake views and more space than the city centre — while still being close to Kelowna International Airport and UBC Okanagan.
As a Kelowna and Okanagan REALTOR® who knows Lake Country well, I help buyers and sellers move with confidence — from lakeview condos and family homes to acreage, orchards and waterfront.
