Lakefront vineyard seller casts a wide net for buyer
245 Swick Rd. Asking price: $9,288,800 This waterfront estate offers the opportunity for the next homeowner to try their hand at winemaking with 1.25 acres of old-vine chardonnay and merlot grapes planted on-site. The private vineyard, located on Okanagan Lake in world-class wine country, would yield about 130 cases a year. Richard Deacon, real estate agent with Engel & Volkers Okanagan, said the current owner is happy to pass on what he knows about the craft, while knowledgeable neighbours at Cedar Creek Estate, Martin’s Lane and Summerhill Pyramid wineries are a short distance away. “These smaller vineyards on estate properties are a labour of love,” said Mr. Deacon. Noting that growing your own grapes is manual farm work, the size of this vineyard is manageable he said, and the site includes wine processing equipment. The 5.4-acre site, listed at $9,288,800, has three buildings. Constructed in 1989, the main house is 7,874 square feet, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms; it’s accompanied by a two-bedroom cottage and a boathouse that includes a studio apartment. The property, which also features a saltwater pool and sandy beach, is a rarity when you consider the privacy, overall size and lake frontage – in combination with the vineyard, Mr. Deacon said.
