Everyone at some time considers getting away from the stress and rigors of day-to-day living. It’s a fact of life.

Many people envision vacationing somewhere other than where they live, and a few even consider buying a second property to give themselves a home away from home. Recognizing this need early on, one company has evolved to offer luxury adult condominiums in many travel-destination areas across Canada. Providing first-class lifestyle buildings for over 30 years, Medican has once again found that picture-perfect spot to build yet another remarkable vacation condo community.

Only a ten minute drive from Kelowna airport, located in beautiful British Columbia lake country, is a subdivision called The Lakes. Located next to a quiet pond in this mountain top development, will be a condo community that derives its name from this picturesque feature. Sitara on the Pond will offer one, two and two-bedroom plus den suites. Starting from around 837 square feet and ranging all the way up to 1150 square feet, the choice of floorplans offers versatility in design and lifestyle. As well as incredible living spaces, Sitara on the Pond will include an elegant library lounge and a marvelous outdoor pool and lounge sitting area, perfect for socializing or just laying back and relaxing. Also within the subdivision is a natural area which offers peace and tranquility right in your own backyard.

Medican’s Bob Carmichael says that as well as offering outstanding floorplans and amenities, the location of Sitara on the Pond is nothing short of fantastic. “It’s a wonderful location, being right between Vernon and Kelowna and so close to the airport,” he says. “As well, there are a large number of golf courses, ski hills, and of course there’s Kalamalka Lake.”

As a matter of fact, the area is full of pristine lakes, fragrant orchards, vineyards, beautiful golf courses and fabulous winter skiing. Kalamalka Lake (Lake of a Thousand Colours) is one of only a handful of lakes known as Marl lakes, famous for their vivid blue and green colouring during the summer months. Along with this spectacularly beautiful lake are several other awe-inspiring lakes where you can enjoy a variety of water or beach activities. In the winter there is alpine or cross-country skiing available, both of which attract visitors from around the world. This area is one of the most desirable locations in British Columbia, and possibly Canada, for year-round outdoor recreation.

In addition to the outdoor recreational benefits available at Sitara on the Pond, cultural attractions and exciting nightlife are only a short drive away. Kelowna offers nightclubs, restaurants, galleries and museums, live theatre, and even a symphony and ballet. In the opposite direction, but just as close as Kelowna, is the city of Vernon. Here you can experience year-round carnivals, exhibitions and festivals and even more unique shops and dining experiences. All this and much more makes Sitara on the Lake the ultimate investment or getaway property.

Whether you would like to ensure that you have a great place to vacation at any time of the year, or would like to invest in your future, Sitara on the Pond is the answer to both. This great condominium community would be an excellent choice, whether you’re basing your decision on location,  quality of construction, design, or lifestyle.
