Approaching by land, you would think you are arriving at an Italian villa. Cobblestone drive and auto court, strong roof lines and old-world stone work abound. Approach it by water and once again you realize what a world class estate this is. We are after all in the ‘Canadian Mediterranean’ and this villa takes advantage of its tremendous location and great craftsmanship. Luxe materials and passionate detail abound inside and out. With energy efficient geothermal heating, ICF construction and in-floor radiant heat, its also one of the most efficient houses on the market today making it just that little more environmentally friendly. This home lists, among its many features, a separate guest wing overlooking a fabulous courtyard that provides a pool and hot tub for some great R&R. In the kitchen you’ll find world-class appliances and fixtures, mixed with marble, travertine and custom millwork… best to call on Emeril Laggossi…..BAM !!! A private retreat in the library/office provides for a great cigar lounge. The same is found in the spa-like master bedroom – an apartment sized cocoon. Situated in one of Kelowna's most sought after lakeshore location this is one of the few and most formidable homes to be found in Kelowna and, as someone in the market for an extraordinary 7,200 sq ft custom property, it could be yours. The home is currently listed by the Gary Athans of MacDonald Realtors. Images are available online at www.garyathans.com or you can call Gary direct at 250.860.4300
