The Okanagan wine region has the weather and location that vines and people love: sunny days, cool nights, near mountains and the lake. A bottle of rosé or Chianti on the table, lines of vines dotting the landscape, a sun-drenched award-winning restaurant patio: this is the good life dreamt by many.
Laying within this dream panorama overlooking the Okanagan Valley, Parkbridge’s Solstice at Tower Ranch lends itself to a pretty fabulous lifestyle. What is not to love about waking up each day to catch the shimmering reflections of Okanagan Lake, grabbing your golf clubs for a friendly game at Tower Ranch Golf Course, or lacing your hiking boots and heading onto the Tower Ranch Mountain Park and trail system backing your new home? We can’t think of much.
Solstice
“The Okanagan is recognized across Canada as a sought-after destination and for good reason, you have 300+ wineries, orchards, great views, and a short drive to two excellent ski resorts,” says Mark Bourree, operations manager, Parkbridge. “People are moving from across Canada to live within this unique terrain.”
That’s not all - Kelowna is at your fingertips, packed with urban amenities, like restaurants and shops, yet surrounded by soaring pine forests and protected parklands. Okanagan Lake glimmers at the centre of the city, offering endless options to paddle, fish, or sail.
Solstice
Ontario empty nesters, Mark Wenn and Melanie Valentine, were sold, joking: “We feel like we are living in a resort.”
Wanting to be closer to their son who lives in Kelowna, the couple looked at several communities but once they saw Solstice at Tower Ranch, they wanted to call Solstice home.

Buying a home in Solstice, with low-maintenance landscaping, frees the couple to do what they enjoy: skiing at Big White Ski Resort, which is only 40 minutes away from their front door.
“Our weekends are free now. We can ski, kick back, and just have a glass of wine instead of doing yard work,” says Wenn.
Solstice
This curated collection of 160 single-family and quad land leased homes, ranging from 1,260 to 1,861 square feet, are stylishly designed with high-end laminate floors in the main living area, central air conditioning to keep you cool on those hot Okanagan days, gourmet kitchens and spacious decks to take in those amazing vistas.
