The new Lake Country, BC development – Lakestone – has been getting lots of attention lately. We spoke with Jason Koverchuk, Director of Sales and Marketing at Lakestone to share more about this opportunity.
Chriscan: Tell us a little bit about the development at Lakestone?
Jason Koverchuck: Lakestone is a master-planned community comprised of 1,365 residences located on one of the best remaining parcels of land on the East shore of Okanagan Lake between Vernon & Kelowna. At the heart of B.C.’s wine country, Lakestone’s 550-acre community offers a rich, outdoor, all-year-round lifestyle and vacation escape. Expansive, affordable lots surrounded by pine trees and granite outcrops on the sloping hillside mean every resident can construct a home with a million-dollar, unobstructed view of the lake. Residents also have exclusive access to a $3.5-million Lake Club, a shared luxury amenity including a gym, outdoor swimming pool, entertaining space, lake access and storage for kayaks and paddleboards.
Phase 1 of Lakestone’s first release, Waterside, has already sold out, with a few remaining lots still available in Phase 2. Phase 3 was released June 21, 2014.
