SAVARY ISLAND

For a few years, my family would make the big trek north to a beautiful little island called Savary.  To get there took a long time and finally when you couldn’t drive any further in Lund, BC you’d load up the water taxi for the final leg to the shores of this island made mostly of sand.  The island is about a kilometer wide and 8 km from one end to the other.  There were no cars allowed on the island (although there were a few… maybe 3!) and the only wildlife was deer and bees.  Bikes were used as the main source of transportation and power was by propane.  The cabin we stayed in was fantastic. Tucked into the woods, the large open plan could easily accomodate the 6 of us.  We had a good sized kitchen 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a loft and a huge deck outside.

WHAT ABOUT OKANAGAN WATERFRONT FOR $350k

I’m sharing all this because recently I came across a lot currently available to buy on Kalamalka Lake in Vernon.  This lot also has a dock attached and in the summer, the dock is really the only thing that’s important! A beautiful and scenic drive from downtown Vernon takes about a half hour.  Power is by way of propane and water is lake intake.  This beautiful spot reminds me so much of Savary Island.
