5 Luxury BC Retreats from Beach Townhome to Mountain Chalet

Steps from the shoreline in Cadboro Bay, this executive-style townhome pairs a beachside address with the everyday ease of Cadboro Bay Village, UVic, and Gyro Park close by. One of only two residences of its kind in the award-winning Promenade development, it was built in 2009 with a flexible layout designed for real life. Vaulted ceilings, wood floors, and large windows set an airy tone across open living and dining spaces, with balcony access ready for BBQs and ocean breezes. The bright kitchen is finished with quartz counters, stainless appliances, an eating bar, and a walk-in pantry. A spacious primary bedroom opens to its own deck with water glimpses and a beautiful ensuite with a walk-in shower. Downstairs, a separate entrance, patio, laundry, bedroom, 4-piece bath, and kitchenette offer versatility for guests, extended family, or ground-level living. Garage and assigned parking complete the package, with pets and rentals permitted.

From its hillside setting in Kelowna, this residence is designed to maximize privacy while keeping everyday life close at hand. Set in an excellent family neighborhood, it sits within walking distance to parks and a school—an easy rhythm for mornings, afternoons, and weekends alike. Inside, a dedicated theatre room creates a natural gathering place for movie nights and rainy-day downtime. Outdoors, a big covered sundeck extends the living space and frames a touch of lakeviews, offering a sheltered spot for coffee, dinner, or quiet time as the light changes. It’s a home that balances a sense of retreat with the simple convenience of a walkable community, inviting you to settle into a calmer pace above it all.

From its mountain setting at the base of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, this luxury chalet places four-season adventure right outside your door. Set in the final phase of The Cedars, the residence is beautifully finished and designed with a clear sense of flow, offering over 2,500 sq.ft. of thoughtfully planned living space. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the layout balances togetherness and privacy—well suited to weekends with friends, extended family stays, or simply spreading out after a day on the mountain. The resort setting brings an easy rhythm to daily life, where mornings begin with fresh alpine air and evenings settle into the comfort of a chalet made for unwinding. Here, mountain living feels both elevated and effortless, season after season.

Set on a fully fenced property in Ta Ta Creek, this quiet retreat balances privacy with access—about 20 minutes from Kimberley and 35 minutes from an international airport. At its heart is a renovated one-bedroom cabin, offering a simple, comfortable home base while you shape what comes next. The land is already working in your favor, with greenhouses for growing, a large barn, a pond, and additional outbuildings that expand day-to-day possibilities without complication. For those dreaming bigger, several build sites invite a future estate home while allowing you to enjoy the property immediately. Life here reads as unhurried and hands-on: morning rounds to the greenhouse, time by the pond, and wide-open space that feels genuinely your own.
