Seven years in the making, the recently approved Owl’s Nest Estates is an exclusive collection of 28 net-zero, standalone homes where residents are steps away from the beach while still being only a 15 minute drive to Kelowna International Airport. The development is situated on Kalamalka Lake, known for its stunning, turquoise waters, that have earned it a spot on National Geographic's list of the top 10 most beautiful lakes in the world.

This natural wonder will be the focal point of Owl’s Nest Estates, providing residents with unparalleled waterfront access and a rare private marina. In a significant move towards sustainability, each home in Owl’s Nest Estates will be also designed for net zero energy consumption. The homes will feature solar arrays that power air-source heat pumps for heating and cooling.

Overall, each home will produce as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year. The development will also include natural gas for patio heaters, fire tables, barbecues, gas ranges and indoor fireplaces, blending modern convenience with environmental responsibility. Nestled into the scenic hillside, the approved development promises a collection of exquisite, three-storey walkout homes, each boasting expansive living spaces from 2,671 to 4,236 square feet.
