Lake Country

Overview

Lake Country is a scenic and fast growing municipality just north of Kelowna, celebrated for its serene lakeside setting, rural charm, and strong sense of community. 

True to its name, the area is surrounded by three beautiful lakes—Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake, and Kalamalka Lake, providing residents with endless opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and paddle boarding in the summer, while the surrounding hills and trails offer hiking, biking, and cross country skiing throughout the year. Housing in Lake Country is diverse, ranging from family friendly subdivisions and modern townhomes to acreages, vineyard properties, and stunning lakeview estates, appealing to a wide mix of buyers from young families to retirees.

The community is made up of several distinct neighborhoods, including Winfield, Oyama, Carr’s Landing, and Okanagan Centre, each with its own character, whether it’s the historic charm of Oyama, the waterfront appeal of Carr’s Landing, or the central conveniences of Winfield. Agriculture remains an important part of the area’s identity, with orchards, vineyards, and farm stands scattered throughout, while a growing number of wineries and restaurants are helping shape Lake Country into a destination for food and wine enthusiasts. Families benefit from quality schools, recreational facilities, and community events, while professionals appreciate the quick access to both Kelowna and Vernon as well as the Kelowna International Airport. Balancing rural beauty with modern amenities, Lake Country offers a relaxed lifestyle deeply connected to nature, making it an appealing place for those who want space, scenery, and community while staying close to the region’s urban centres.
