The houses on the property
There are three houses on the farm. The main house was built in 1985 and was designed by award-winning architect Florian Maurer, winner of the Governor-General's Award for Architecture in 2006 for his personal home in Naramata, BC.
The main house is a 2 story building with a finished basement. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs, while the main floor is an open floor plan with the kitchen/living room about 450 sq. ft. There is a 10'x12' office on the main floor and a full bath.
The basement has a full bathroom and sauna plus a weight room. The laundry is in the basement and has a laundry chute from the top floor. There is also a cold storage room and a root cellar in the basement.

The kitchen has a wood cook stove which heats the entire house and will burn all night when damped down. The wood stove preheats the hot water which is then plumbed through an "on demand" propane hot water heater. This a very efficient system combining the best of old technology with the best of new technology. The same is true for the rest of the water system which is a gravity feed system from the glacial fed creek bounding the property, the domestic water system then flows into a state of the art micro hydro turbine which powers the house at 120V through a large 12V battery bank. The creek is a lovely year round creek that is very constant due to the fact that it flows from the small glacier in the heart of the 7000' Glenora Mtn. which bounds the farm on its North side.
The sewer system is a very reliable lagoon as the micro hydro turbine exhausts it's discharge into the lagoon which acts to aerate the lagoon and keep it odour free.
There is a small high efficiency oil heater that has been recently added to the basement. The sauna is wood-fired and is usable in 15 minutes from the time it is fired up making it wonderful addition to this house.
There is an excellent wireless telephone system and a separate wireless internet system to keep you always connected to the outside world and both systems have been proven to be very reliable.
The house is heavily insulated with 1'8" in the ceilings and 6" in the walls. Large south facing windows add to the solar effect in winter and make the house very bright with a view out over the lawns and gardens and out into the horse pasture along the driveway.
The farm is at the end of the Telegraph Creek road which is maintained year round and allows for easy access both winter and summer.

There is a small mobile home with add-on just below the main house which is used as a guest cabin. It has 3 bedrooms and is connected to the power, water and sewer of the main house.

The old log homestead cabin is on the opposite side of the property and is in need of some TLC.
