COLDSTREAM

On the shores of Kalamalka Lake in Coldstream, British Columbia, sits one of the Okanagan’s most extraordinary waterfront estates. Set across 2.41 acres with nearly 450 feet of lakefront, this $14.9 million property was conceived as a true multi-generational legacy estate — centred around an unfinished 16,000+ sq. ft. main residence, alongside a completed guest house and an irreplaceable beach house positioned just steps from the water. The history of the property stretches back much further. An original farmhouse stood here from 1909, and when the estate was reimagined, preserving the character and maturity of the land became fundamental to its design. Mature trees were relocated throughout the property, while the enormous oak tree at its centre was carefully protected and used as an anchor around which the estate was planned. A winding gated entrance crosses a bridge over a man-made creek before moving through mature landscaping and hand-stacked stone walls. Natural stone, massive timber beams, clay tile roofs and extensive outdoor spaces give the property an old-world character while allowing the architecture to sit naturally within its Okanagan setting. The main residence remains unfinished inside, creating the unusual opportunity for its next owner to complete a home of this scale around their own vision. Plans include seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, grand entertaining spaces, a chef’s kitchen, lounges, gym, sauna, golf simulator and four gas fireplaces. Down at the water, the completed beach house occupies a position that could not realistically be recreated under today’s waterfront setback regulations, with living and entertaining space, a kitchenette, outdoor kitchen and shower, and a large dock extending onto Kalamalka Lake.
