Fully renovated in 2025, the four-bedroom, three-bath layout reads as essentially brand-new—fresh, current, and designed for low-maintenance daily life. The focus stays on what matters: modern luxury, a like-new feel throughout, and a setting where the lake is always part of the experience. Mornings unfold to open water vistas, while evenings settle into the calm rhythm that only true waterfront living can offer. With its recent transformation and coveted location on Lakeshore Drive North, this home offers a refined, updated base for life beside the lake.

The layout includes four bedrooms and four baths, with refined living designed to flow easily between levels. Outdoor time takes center stage on the covered upper deck, where a vaulted ceiling creates volume overhead and a gas line supports effortless al fresco cooking. A distinctive bridge design adds a memorable architectural moment, connecting you to the landscape and extending the sense of openness beyond the interior. Just steps away, the Okanagan Rail Trail invites morning rides and evening strolls, while nearby Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake set the tone for days shaped by water, fresh air, and wide-open horizons.

From its elevated setting above Fernie, Qanuk is an alpine retreat where luxury and flexibility share the spotlight.

Inside, bright open-concept interiors are paired with expansive decks, creating easy flow for everything from quiet mornings to après gatherings. Thoughtfully designed as two self-contained suites, the layout offers seven bedrooms and six baths—well suited to single- or multi-family living, corporate retreats, or a proven rental program. A shared games and entertainment level anchors the experience, while a forest-backed outdoor space with a hot tub extends the home’s year-round appeal, with summer biking and hiking trails right at the doorstep.
