5 Luxury British Columbia Homes with Ocean and Valley Views

From its elevated setting on a quiet cul-de-sac in Saanich East, this renovated 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence frames panoramic ocean, island, and mountain views from the principal living areas and outdoor spaces. Upstairs, an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living zone is anchored by large sliders that extend daily life onto a spacious deck. The custom kitchen pairs quartz surfaces with a generous island and a suite of Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Cove appliances, while a separate family room offers a more relaxed retreat. Two primary bedrooms—each with an ensuite and walk-in closet—are thoughtfully split across the home’s two levels, alongside additional bedrooms and flexible living areas. On the lower level, a 2-bedroom in-law accommodation includes its own kitchen and living room. Mature cedar hedging, established gardens, and three seating areas complete the outdoor experience.

Steps from the shoreline in Kelowna’s highly sought-after Lower Mission, this hidden gem is tucked away in a quiet enclave connected by walking and biking paths—an easy rhythm for days shaped by beach time and fresh air at Sarsons Beach. Designed for both entertaining and family life, the residence unfolds across three levels of thoughtfully planned living space, with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. A guest suite with its own private entrance and dedicated parking adds welcome flexibility for visitors or potential rental use. Outdoors, the setting takes center stage: a sparkling saltwater pool, hot tub, and water features are framed by mature landscaping that enhances privacy. With beaches, schools, and everyday amenities close by, the experience here is equal parts retreat and routine—meant for lingering, unhurried evenings.

With the water as its backdrop in Vernon, this custom home pairs big-sky outlooks with true acreage privacy across five gently sloping acres. A level-entry layout keeps everyday living easy, with the primary bedroom on the main level alongside four bedrooms and three baths in total. Inside, an “awesome” timber-frame structure sets the tone, crowned by soaring 23-foot ceilings that bring a sense of volume and warmth. Practicality is equally considered: a three-bay pull-thru garage streamlines arrivals and storage, while a Generac back-up system and integrated fire protection speak to the home’s robust mechanical planning. Set well apart from the world, the setting invites unhurried mornings, quiet evenings, and a lifestyle defined by space, light, and long views.

Tucked into the valley in Coldstream, this substantial residence unfolds across 8,155 square feet on 1.1 acres, with fabulous valley views framed by soaring 22-foot windows. Post-and-beam construction sets a warm, architectural tone, matched by a level of quality noted “top to bottom.” For hosting, the layout leans into leisure: an entertainment room with a full bar, a dedicated theatre, and a super guest wing that keeps visitors comfortable and close, yet separate. Six bedrooms and six baths support everyday living at scale, while a heated saltwater pool brings an easy resort rhythm to warm-weather days. A three-bay garage adds practicality, and the setting remains conveniently connected—about 15 minutes to the City of Vernon—without sacrificing a sense of retreat.

Along the water’s edge in Gordon Head, this custom residence pairs ocean views with a relaxed indoor-outdoor rhythm, moments from beach access and Vantreight Park.

Upstairs, the primary suite continues the vaulted volume, with large windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, alongside two additional bedrooms and another bathroom. A separate home theatre room—with projector and screen—adds a cozy gathering space, with an adjacent bathroom for entertaining. Downstairs, a one-bedroom suite offers its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and living area. Outside, a sun-filled patio with custom stonework and built-in BBQ opens to a private south-facing backyard framed by mature landscaping.
