TEN MINUTES TO TOWN TWO MINUTES TO NATURE. THE LARGEST COMMUNITY THIS SIDE OF CALGARY, IS ALSO THE MOST ECOLOGICALLY MINDED. It takes a great visionary to integrate quality crafted homes seamlessly into natural wetlands and wildlife habitats without upsetting the balance. Gehard Blenk, of Blenk Development Corporation is just that - the visionary that brought about one of Kelowna’s premiere communities - Wilden. This ecologically sensitive, multi-faceted development will eventually comprise 2800 new homes and over 1000 acres of parks, trails and protected water. There is a wonderful selection of homesites to choose from. Lost Creek, the newest neighbourhood, has value pricing in mind with lot prices starting from $134,900.00. Skylands boasts incredible lake and city views. Clear Pond is where you will ﬁnd the showhome - and the street of dreams. And Terrace Hill, on the Union Road side of Wilden has great views and shortly, with the completion of the Upper Canyon Drive, phase 1 and 2 of Wilden will now be connected. In fact, The $7 million road, which will be public, is not being constructed by the Province nor the City of Kelowna, but by Blenk Developments as an important piece of infrastructure to link Wilden as one.

GREG AND ROBYN MCGILL “Rykon oﬀers consistency whether it’s a $1Million home or $400,000; you get the same professional attention.” “I like to know what to expect,” explains Robyn. “Rykon is very good at organizing the construction process.” She is referring to the ‘Home Steps Program’ where each phase of construction is documented in a client binder including contact information for important team members.

However, if you’re thinking that Wilden is too big... take a second look. Small secluded neighbourhoods are carefully placed to provide a parklike experience with natural boundaries. These areas will be built out in a short period of time to allow residents the chance to enjoy their complete and quiet home, instead of living in a construction zone. A network of discreet pathways connect all of Wilden to each other and the abundant recreation.

“The proximity to nature is wonderful,” adds Robyn. “There are lots of trails to walk our dogs. And of course, the view is outstanding.” Robyn McGill

Wildon EXPLORE & DISCOVER THINGS TO DO Wilden is a sustainable village, co-exsisting with nature. Gerhard Blenk and Blenk Development have a long-term commitment to these clearly deﬁned goals and are dedicated to ensuring the vision is maintained until the last residence is built. Rykon is a preferred, Tommie award-winning builder at Wilden. Guidelines and strict building codes are such that the homes must not compete with the topography, but rather enhance it, and Rykon has successfully done just that, gaining critical acclaim for their endeavours. The community-wide craftsman style design of Wilden homes, and the exceptional quality and customer service of those few select builders choosen to be a part of Wilden, ensures that this community will never be a hodge-podge of homesites. During the next 20 years, a smooth transistion from one neighbourhood to the next is part of this masterQuate something planned community. “It takes a great company to know a great company” says Gerhard. Quote from Rykon about Blenk.

Clients of Rykon can rest assured that only the very best builders have been invited to be a part of Wilden. Rykon has been handselected by Gerhard Blenk, whose vision and ecological fortitude will stamp Wilden as the best possible way to develop a sustainable, green community, where people and wildlife co-exist.

HIKE AND BIKE, SKI AND SNOWSHOE Over 1000 acres within Wilden are dedicated to environmental preservation and recreational pursuits. We presently have over 50 km of trails through spectacular and natural landscapes. With dozens of parks, ponds, and playgrounds on this prized piece of property.

WINE AND BEACHES In the heart of British Columbia’s beautiful Okanagan Valley, and midway along the pristine 135kilometre-long Okanagan Lake, Wildon is handy to immaculate vineyards and orchards, miles of clean sandy beaches and picturesque natural lakeshore.

NATURE’S BEST Wildlife roams freely here. Squirrels, marmots and chipmunks scurry around, deer meander through the wooded hillsides, and songbirds provide a musical background as you wander through our trails enroute to some of the most prized views in the entire Okanagan.

LOTS TO DO Kelowna is blessed with a pleasant dry and warm summer climate and a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and mountain ranges rising to more than 7000 feet. The Okanagan’s ski resorts are celebrated for their champagne powder snow and the famous Big White and Silver Star Mountain Resorts are just an hour from downtown Kelowna.

...Kettle Valley

IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR TUCKED AWAY IN THE HEART OF THE OKANAGAN VALLEY SITS THE VILLAGE OF KETTLE VALLEY, where families enjoy a safe community with a nod to yesteryear. This scenic area gleaned its notoriety primarily from The Kettle Valley Railway which steamrolled through the Thompson-Okanagan carrying supplies in for the miners and transporting silver out to the coast. The railway operated from 1915 - 1961, and although it is no longer in use, much of the railroad’s original route has been converted to multi-use reacreational trail known as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail which carries the Trans Canada Trail through this part of British Columbia. Most people in the area know the Village of Kettle Valley to be a charming, quaint community based on the traditional style of architecture, turn of the century streetscapes are dotted with greeenspaces, parks and nature trails. This represents the core of Kettle Valley. Although this style has been successful, there is an opportunity with potential buyers to introduce some new home styles in The Pointe and future developments such as The Highlands and The Summit. The Village of Kettle Valley is situated on the north side of Lake Okanagan, the stunning views of sunrises and sunsets over the lake and mountains are beyond compare. The Vllage centre, which will be expanding by 15,000 square feet in the near future, currently offers a travel agent, fitness facility, piza shop, Bistro, landscaping company, day spa, pharmacy, florist, chiropractor, coffee shop and pre-school. The brand new, state-of-the-art elementary school, Chute Lake Elementary is just short walk for most of the kids whose families call The Village of Kettle Valley home.
