Lakeside property with panoramic views that you can actually afford

Enjoying your morning cup of coffee on the dock, just steps from your beautiful home, and basking in the glorious, panoramic views of Okanagan Lake. Sounds like a dream only attainable to millionaires, right? Wrong.

What would you say if we told you that you could soon own a lakeside property for under a million dollars?

Living your dream life in Kelowna has just taken a dramatic turn. Acorn Communities is introducing a new and novel concept with their Granite at McKinley Beach project.

Acorn’s Granite at McKinley Beach is a 5.2-acre multifamily site that will consist of 18 townhomes and 100 apartment style condos, with breathtaking views of Okanagan Lake. The project will provide a stress free live/work/play environment that will bring together all lifestyles in a “one of a kind” community.

Based on intensive research into surrounding communities and the market, the company expects to price the side-by-side, semi-detached town homes in the $730,000-$795,000 range for 2200-3000 square feet, with the future condos around $385,000-$495,000 for units in the 1200-1350 square foot range.

The market in the Okanagan is changing rapidly. Without a comparable project, the company is being prudent when it comes to pricing in order to deliver the high standard its’ clients are used to, and selling the properties for the best value possible.

The property is around 140 feet from the water’s edge, at an elevation of approximately 60 feet, with a panoramic 180 degree view of the lake. The McKinley Beach development offers a 96 slip marina, of which Acorn has reserved five slips for its residents of Granite at McKinley Beach.

A society to operate slips and manage water sports equipment and boats is anticipated to be incorporated at Granite at McKinley Beach. The society would lease the slips from the marina owner, at below market rates, and own, operate and maintain the boats and equipment for their residents. All the benefits of private ownership without the cost and headaches!

A pool, hot tub and patio, complete with barbeques, are contemplated for Granite’s second phase. There is currently an ingenious outdoor gymnasium on site. And McKinley Beach anticipates hiking and biking trails around the property.

Life in this community will offer some of the most gorgeous views in the Okanagan, as well as countless opportunities to enjoy an active lifestyle. One day you may join your neighbours for a lakeside barbeque, the next you might explore the lake on a stand-up paddle board.

Acorn is proud of all its communities, but is delighted and excited to offer Granite at McKinley Beach. Greg Bird, the company’s’ CEO, is passionate about all Acorn’s projects, but when he speaks about McKinley you know from his grin that he’s not only enthusiastic to build this novel community, he’s also patiently waiting to enjoy this property, as a resident, with his new neighbours.

“The unique topography of McKinley Mountain allows us to tuck theses townhomes right into the hillside, offering unique floor plans, outstanding views of Okanagan Lake and quick access to the beach below,” says Bird. “This is the Okanagan living we’ve been looking for and I‘ve already made plans to make my own home at the Granite. I’m excited to help my future neighbours build their Okanagan dream lifestyle too.”
