About this property

SkaHaven- Direct Lakefront

Beautiful, spacious home on west facing Skaha Lake. Newly renovated 2800 sq ft. waterfront home, located on 150 feet of private, flat lakefront with just under an acre of landscaped property. Glorious sunsets on your own private dock with boat lift. Shallow beach front, 2 firepits, fenced grassy area. Master bedroom with floor to ceiling windows looking out to lake, all new ensuite bathroom. Open concept kitchen/dining, new wood flooring/paint.
The space:
Originally built in 1948 this unique vintage home on an estate like property has been lovingly added on to over the years and recently renovated. The living room has surround floor to ceiling windows looking out to the magnificent lakefront views. There's a spacious seating area with large TV as well as a conversation area looking out towards the water. Open plan kitchen has a large central island capturing the lake views, dining area and walk out to the brand new deck. The bedrooms are divided into a grand king master suite with it's own ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. The second king and third twin bedrooms are side by side with a shared bathroom. The fourth queen bedroom is in a private back portion of the house with it's own full bathroom and door leading out to the side yard. There is lots of privacy in each area for multi families or generational families. There is a large storage/laundry area behind the kitchen. Finally a bonus recreational room for kids with a ping pong table, T.V. and queen size sofa bed for extra guests in it's own private area.
To access the property there is a winding driveway down a gently sloping hill. There is parking for several cars including EV plug in with trellis vines to the front entrance. The water side of the house is perfectly flat with a large patio area, several lounges, picnic table, BBQ and seating area around a central propane fireplace, perfect for evening get togethers. There is also a secondary large stone wood burning fire pit right next to the water with a built in curved stone seating area to roast marsh mellows and share stories. There is a long grassy play area along the waterfront with a boat shed at the end. Behind this area there is a fenced in grassy area, that could be used as a secondary play area including a badminton net or to keep a dog contained. The back of the property does have a fenced off unusable pool area not for guest use at this time.
This is a large property, fenced and treed so neighbors are not visible. If you want peaceful privacy, this is the place for you.
We have a kayak and paddle board for your use. Our favorite spot is at the end of the dock at sunset with a glass of wine from the local vineyards. If you want to bring your boat, there is a boat lift and tubing for the kids.
The water is shallow and the bottom is clear of any weeds.

We have spent the last year renovating this home. We are very excited to welcome you to our home away from home.

Please note: Short term restriction legislation does not apply to this rural district property at this time.

Guest access
The entire house is there for your private use. We will be available at any time if you have any questions.

Activities: more than 50 flavors of ice cream just a walk away at TickleBerries in OK Falls. Fine wine tastings along the Skaha Bench, Eastside Rd and Oliver
The Apple Bin with daily fresh local fruit just a block away.
Penticton is only a 10 minute drive away for fine dining.
Float down the Penticton river on a lazy hot day.
Great biking trails along the Old Kettle Valley Railroad just 5 minutes away.
Amazing flower gardens and petting zoo at Linden Gardens in Kaleden offering great lunches on their patio.

Just a stunning spot

We loved this property so much! The dock, yard, decks, and patio were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in our extended family group. Okanagan Falls is charming, especially Tickleberry’s!

Skahaven - heavenly holiday

This was for a family vacation - ranging from grandma to little ones 10 & 4 - so the layout of the house gave everyone a unique space. The outside patio was great for after swimming time; the upper patio good for morning coffee. The lake area is very suitable for kids to enjoy safely. The kitchen had all the items you might need to make a meal for all. The windows from the living room are a lovely place to watch the sunset as you cosy up with a book and coffee.

Excellent place!

We had an amazing time at Skahaven! The location was wonderful and the house was very big and spacious. Lots of different rooms and outdoor spaces for people to find quiet spot. We really appreciated the kids recreation room too. The owners, Maret and Lyle, were very helpful, sent lots of information before we arrived and were super easy to communicate with. Lots of parking space too which was great for our boat trailer. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely love to come back again one day!

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property to enjoy with our grandkids who love the water. We are on a lovely shallow waterfront which is perfect for families. The dock is especially fun to enjoy the view and a great jumping off point for the kids. We look forward to sharing it with other families during the times that we are not there.

What makes this property unique

What attracted us to this property was the rural nature of it. We have complete privacy with the estate size lot. Being away from the city offers great wildlife viewing, especially the deer that pass by daily, bunnies throughout the property and bird song all around. For those that enjoy fishing, bring your poles and catch dinner right off the dock. We are away from the hustle and bustle of the city and yet a short drive to all that we need in Penticton and a walk away from the Okanagan Falls area. We are also surrounded by some of the best wine producers that the Okanagan has to offer.
