5 Spectacular B.C. Waterfront and View Estates in Kelowna and Oak Bay

Along one of West Kelowna’s most coveted shorelines, this gated waterfront residence on Whitworth Road pairs timeless architecture with a resort-level way of life. The setting is defined by privacy and a sense of arrival, with the community’s gated character framing the property’s connection to the water. Inside and out, the focus is on an easy rhythm: spaces designed to feel enduring rather than trend-driven, and amenities that bring the comfort and convenience of a retreat into daily living. It’s a rare combination for the area—waterfront positioning, a secured enclave, and an architectural presence that reads as classic. Days here can move effortlessly from quiet mornings by the water to evenings that feel like a getaway, all without leaving home.

From its elevated setting at Oak Bay’s highest point above McNeil Bay, 121 Denison Rd—aptly nicknamed “King of The Hill”—takes in unobstructed 270° views spanning the Olympic Mountains, the Trial Island lighthouse, and surrounding islands, with constant marine activity beyond. Set on a quiet, park-like cul-de-sac in South Oak Bay, the brand new 2026 residence offers exceptional privacy. Originally built in the 1970s and reimagined by Zebra Design, it preserves its irreplaceable elevation—now restricted—while drawing ocean views into every principal room, even the garage. Built by GT-Mann Construction, details include an engineered pillarless design, triple-pane windows, solid core doors, and extensive soundproofing. Control4 automation integrates lighting, climate, and security, alongside a floating staircase, seamless indoor-outdoor living, a concrete pool, wellness area, and a 400-bottle wine cellar for unhurried coastal days.

Along the water’s edge on Lakeshore Road in Kelowna, this lakeshore acreage offers a rare blend of scale and shoreline presence. Spanning 7.5 acres with 153 feet of water frontage, the estate is positioned for a lifestyle that revolves around open land, lake access, and long-view planning. The setting is described as a horse enthusiast’s dream, with the kind of acreage that supports an equestrian-minded routine without feeling constrained. For those drawn to cultivation, the property can also be easily converted to additional vines, creating the foundation for an unrivaled “legacy” holding shaped by the land itself. Here, the days can be defined by the shoreline, the acreage, and the freedom to let the estate evolve over time.

On a private, beautifully landscaped property in the prestigious Uplands, 3085 Southdowne Road pairs refined scale with a layout designed for real life. Expansive main-level living spaces set the tone, anchored by a chef’s kitchen with an adjoining eating area and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to sun-filled patios and manicured grounds. Flexible rooms—including a dedicated office, den, media room, and recreation room—create natural zones for work, quiet retreat, and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own sanctuary, complete with a private sitting area, a spa-inspired ensuite, and a generous walk-in closet, while three additional bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite. A fifth bedroom on the main level adds versatility, and the lower level is devoted to leisure with a full media room and recreation space—an easy backdrop for unhurried evenings at home.

From its elevated setting on a private 0.6-acre estate in prestigious Ten Mile Point, 2701 Sea View is a 2021 modern residence by Horizon Pacific, designed to capture sweeping ocean-view panoramas. Contemporary architecture meets exceptional craftsmanship, with the main level arranged around an expansive living room, dining area, and chef-inspired kitchen—each oriented to the coast and washed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing that strengthens the indoor-outdoor connection. A private office adds a calm, dedicated workspace. Down a dramatic steel staircase, the lower level unfolds with a luxurious primary suite, three additional ensuite bedrooms, a family lounge, and a theatre room for unhurried evenings at home. A separate studio with its own ensuite, separate address (2701B), and gas and plumbing for a kitchen offers flexible options for guests, work, or rental. Minutes from Cadboro Bay Village and Gyro Beach, days here feel quietly coastal and well composed.
