City viewLake view

Some properties are more than dirt and boundary lines — they're a beginning. At 8948 Hampshire Crescent, tucked into Vernon's coveted Adventure Bay, a rare flat 0.27-acre lot waits for someone ready to build a life around a view like this one. Most homesites on this hillside demand retaining walls and engineered foundations just to level the ground beneath them. This one doesn't. It's already flat, already facing the shimmering blue expanse of Okanagan Lake, already surrounded by architect-designed homes that chose this street for exactly the reason you're reading this today. Picture your first morning here: coffee in hand, mist rising off the water, the hills across the lake slowly catching the light. Picture evenings on a deck that doesn't exist yet, watching the sun sink behind the mountains while the lights of Sparkling Hill begin to twinkle on the far shore. This is a canvas, not a compromise — a paved, curbed street with sidewalks and lighting already in place, and a flat, buildable pad that means more of your budget goes into the home you love, not the ground it sits on. Close to golf, wineries, beaches, and everything the Okanagan lifestyle promises, homesites like this rarely stay available for long.

Highlights

  • Per the listing, the 0.26-acre lot is already flat, so no retaining walls are needed to level it.
  • Municipal water and sewer are listed, with natural gas, electricity and telephone also available.
  • Okanagan Lake is about 470 m away in straight-line distance, with lake, city, mountain and valley views listed.
  • City of Vernon map facts show zoning as Multi-Unit: Small Scale (MUS).
  • Fire Hall 2 is about 4.4 km away in straight-line distance.

Things to check

  • The property is in the City's Wildfire Hazard Development Permit Area. Ask your insurer, and ask the City what it means for building plans.
  • Ask the City what MUS zoning allows on this lot and which approvals a new build would need.
  • The listing shows both 0.26 and 0.27 acres. Ask for the exact lot size from the survey.
