Roughly 30 wineries, no big box stores, and a village that hasn't tried to become anything other than what it already is — Naramata is one of the Okanagan's most distinct small communities, and one of its most expensive.
Naramata sits on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, about 15km north of Penticton, tucked against the Naramata Bench — a narrow, sun-exposed strip of land considered some of the most prized agricultural ground in Canada. The village itself stays small and independently owned: boutique wineries, cideries, cafés, and artisan shops, with the Kettle Valley Rail Trail running straight through the community for hiking and cycling. It's genuinely outside Pat's core Osoyoos/Oliver territory, but with a BC-wide license, Pat can represent buyers here just as directly.
Naramata attracts buyers looking for a genuinely different Okanagan lifestyle than the beach-resort character of Osoyoos or the orchard-town feel of Oliver. This is wine country in the fullest sense — nearly 30 wineries concentrated along the Bench, working vineyards and orchards on the hillside, and a village core that has deliberately stayed small, walkable, and independently owned.
Housing here spans a wide range: character homes on quiet streets in the village itself, newer builds on the hillside with lake and vineyard views, and full vineyard estates on multi-acre parcels. Waterfront on Okanagan Lake commands a real premium, with entry-level lakefront positions often starting well into the seven figures.
Recreation follows the same understated character as the village — the Kettle Valley Rail Trail for hiking and cycling, lake access for swimming and paddling, and a slower pace that residents and buyers alike describe as the area's defining feature.

If a property includes an operating vineyard, review the agricultural lease or operating agreement, water licenses, and crop yield history separately from the residential purchase.
Naramata carries a genuine price premium over most South Okanagan communities — go in with realistic expectations on entry-level pricing, especially for lakefront or Bench-view properties.
Much of the Bench falls within the Agricultural Land Reserve, which restricts subdivision and non-farm use. Confirm ALR status before assuming development potential on any acreage parcel.
The village is small and services are limited locally — most residents drive to Penticton for broader shopping, healthcare, and amenities. Confirm this fits your lifestyle expectations.
With 31 active vacant lots on the market, custom building is a real option here — confirm servicing, ALR status, and any building scheme requirements before purchasing land.
Naramata sits outside Pat's core day-to-day territory, but his BC-wide license and construction background still apply directly — and he'll be straightforward if a specific property calls for a Naramata-based specialist alongside him.
Naramata sits outside Pat's core service area, but his BC-wide license means he can represent you here directly — including coordinating a Lower Mainland sale alongside it.
