Naramata Bench living that starts with the home

Perched above Okanagan Lake, this recently updated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home takes in panoramic lake and vineyard views, the kind that stop guests mid-sentence, while the spectacular outdoor entertaining area is built for al fresco dinners that stretch into the evening. The partially finished basement offers straightforward suite potential or room for your own ideas, and the detached guest house, a former tasting room with its own half bath, works as a fifth bedroom, home business, studio, guest accommodation, or gym. The rest of the property is pure bonus: almost 4 acres with a heritage orchard of cherry, apple, plum, pear, peach, and apricot trees, a vegetable garden, custom greenhouse, and chicken coop, ready for as much or as little farm life as you choose. A maintenance-free vineyard lease is available for the 2.5 acres of organic Chardonnay and Gamay. Best of all, you are a short walk from the beaches, cafes, pub, and general store of Naramata Village, with the vineyards of the Bench as your daily backdrop.
