4896 Lakeshore Road

About this home

An architectural showpiece set behind gates on Okanagan Lake, this extraordinary lakeshore estate offers exceptional privacy and a truly elevated waterfront lifestyle. A long, winding drive framed by mature cedars and curated gardens reveals striking architecture — a refined blend of stone, cedar and metal roofing — positioned to capture panoramic lake, bridge and mountain views. With 112 ft of shoreline, the setting is as impressive as the residence itself. Inside, cork plank flooring, exposed beams and soaring ceilings create warmth and texture against dramatic steel and stone accents. Walls of glass open the great room to the pool terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A glass-walled, temperature-controlled wine room adds a stunning focal point. The chef’s kitchen is designed for serious entertaining with a leathered granite island, quartz counters, Thermador induction cooktop, Gaggenau appliances, dual Miele dishwashers and a commercial-grade walk-in cooler. The lakeview primary retreat feels suspended above the water, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite and custom walk-in closets. Additional guest beds, a theatre and a rec room with full bar ensure effortless hosting. Outdoors, enjoy an expansive pool deck, outdoor kitchen and shower, stepping down to manicured lawn, private beach and a private dock with 12,500 lb lift. A separate 2-bed guest house with gym, sauna and steam room, plus 2 garages totaling 1,485 sq ft, complete this rare offering.

Lie of the land

Falls toward the northwest at an overall 18% grade; 42% of the parcel is steeper than 30%, and the ground changes about 27 m (87 ft) in elevation across it

Parcel area and local government from ParcelMap BC; zoning from the published zoning map of the City of Kelowna; ALR from the Agricultural Land Commission boundary; floodplains from the Province’s designated floodplain mapping, which is decades old and incomplete, so local governments set flood construction levels and the absence of a designation here is not a clearance. The lie of the land is measured from the Province's LidarBC 1 m bare-earth elevation model, flown in 2025, across the parcel itself; it reads the ground, not the buildings, so banks and retaining walls count as steep ground. None of this replaces a title search, a survey or confirmation with the local government, which is the authority on zoning.
