Vineyard

Set among terraced rows of grapevines in Kaleden, The Vineyard is a contemporary single-level estate overlooking Skaha Lake and the city of Penticton. Clean stucco lines, deep overhangs and warm wood soffits give the home a quiet, modern presence on the hillside, while walls of glass bring the lake, the mountains and the city lights into every main living space.

Inside, oversized black-framed sliding glass walls open completely at the corners, with flush sills that let the white oak floors run straight onto the terrace with no step. Clerestory windows wash the rooms in natural light. The kitchen centres on a long white oak island with a cosy built-in breakfast nook, and the dining room and gallery-style hallways give the owners’ art collection room to breathe.

Outside, an infinity-edge pool stretches along the covered terrace, with an outdoor kitchen, lounge areas and tiered landscaping down into the vineyard below. It’s a home made for long summer evenings and slow mornings with a view.
