A hidden treasure in the Central Okanagan Valley. You just have to find it.
This magnificent 77 acre estate offers spectacular panoramic views overlooking
Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake. It is one of the larger parcels of land in Oyama,
perfect for a buyer looking for a hunting, hiking, outdoor sports retreat, a
private location for a beauty farm or an eco-tourism resort. Once you have
arrived at the gate follow the access road winding up the hillside, and there it
is, tucked in among tall trees with an inviting wide flat driveway to the
secluded custom-built log home and garden area.
The views from the home are fantastic! The owner has built the log home with an
expansion in mind, however, it would be great for a guest house while you build
your dream home or executive retreat.
You will discover many level and sloping lake view building sites. The current
owner has maintained trails throughout a good portion of the property which is
surrounded by crownland. The opportunities for year-round activities are endless
and the development potential is likely an option. Meanwhile, the property can
serve as your private vacation getaway, situated only 20 minutes to Kelowna
International Airport, UBC Okanagan and 30 minutes to downtown Kelowna. One of
the best beaches you will find is practically ‘just down the road’ in Oyama.

Lake Country is truly the best kept secret in the Okanagan Valley! Here is
where the sun, water, mountains, friendly people and fun all meet.
Lake Country is made up of four different communities with a population of
approximately 10,000 and growing. Winfield remains the commercial centre of
the district, Okanagan Centre and Carr’s Landing are both residential
communities that lie on the shore of Okanagan Lake and Oyama the “Jewel
of the Okanagan” is located on both Wood Land and Kalamalka Lake.
Recreation opportunities are a plenty within our community. Lake Country is
surrounded by several great lakes including: Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka
Lake, Wood Lake and Duck Lake; and many smaller ones hidden within the
Coastal and Monashee Mountain ranges.
The warm, dry climate of the Okanagan Valley provides great recreational
opportunities, including fishing, hiking, golfing, camping, sailing, swimming,
paddling and all water-borne activities.
Oyama has strong agricultural roots. The Okanagan Valley is renowned for its
many orchards of apples, cherries, apricots, pears, and peaches, supplying
the people of Lake Country with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Oyama is named after a Japanese field marshal, Prince Iwao Oyama
(1842-1916), who fought in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905.
