Resort Life Beckons at Okanagan Properties The Okanagan has long been synonymous with resort living — in large part because of the expansive vineyards, the sandy beaches and the warm lakes that dot the region’s landscape. The projects include: Greata Ranch Vineyard Estates: Concord Pacific has found a great location for its latest recreational project on the Greata Ranch Vineyard Estates, so buyers will find themselves not only close to a sandy beachfront, but also surrounded by 40 acres of working vineyard. There are many building choices, as well, from townhomes of approximately 1,800 sq. ft. in the hillside collection, to detached homes sized from 2,400 sq. ft. to 3,300 sq. ft., in either the lakeside or grand lakeside collection. Prices start at $ 500,000 to $ 2 millionplus. All have Mediterranean- inspired architecture where indoor/ outdoor living is key. An on- site marina and pool are just some of the features of this resort on Okanagan Lake, 25 minutes south of Kelowna. Watermark Beach Resort Construction has begun on the $ 75- million Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos. The resort is located along 1,000 feet of sandy beach on the shoreline of Osoyoos Lake, a popular vacation destination, judging by how quickly suites sold in Phase 1. When sales began last October, more than 70 per cent of the available suites sold in one day and the remaining 30 per cent are expected to sell out before the end of summer. The resort’s amenities include a 1,800sq.- ft. pool, two hot spa pools, a kiddie waterslide, poolside wine bar, restaurant and event space for the town’s festivals, such as the “ Christmas Light- up” and local wine tour events. The average price for a furnished onebedroom suite runs from the mid$ 300,000s to mid-$ 500,000s. The four- storey resort is scheduled for completion in 2009.
