Rise to the ocasion
By Nicole McLaws Located at the upper end of the Okanagan Valley, a warm and welcoming spot known for its world-class wines, is The Rise, a master-planned recreational community offering western Canada’s first Fred Couples Signature Golf Course, along with a winery, private lakeside beach club and several neighbourhoods intertwined around the vineyard and carefully manicured fairways. The 735-acre resort development overlooks glittering Okanagan Lake, providing residents with stunning views, while on site, a rolling, rocky landscape, forested gullies and wetlands create a stunning backdrop for a year-round vacation home. And recently released Belago, says Leona Snider, president and CEO of The Rise, is a new neighbourhood featuring a limited release of 18 vineyard home sites. “Those who purchase in Belago will literally be able to watch their investment grow with the vines,” Snider says. “Home owners at Belago will feel as though they own the vineyard as it is right in their backyard.” An estate style community, Belago boasts large lots with room enough for backyard swimming pools, and nearby, amenities from shopping to hiking await. Additionally, the vineyard — which is only steps away — has expanded to 17 acres, meaning Belago home owners will experience the growth of the vineyard and The Cellars at The Rise winery firsthand. A visitor facility, VIP tasting room and private wine storage only add appeal to the vino-lovers showing interest in this location, Snider adds. “This is a wonderful opportunity for those who are passionate about wine to be part of a growing community that feels the same way,” she says.
