about

Black Mountain, and Joe Rich just beyond it, is situated east of Kelowna's city center. Made up of neighbourhoods possessing beautiful views of the Okanagan valley and the lake and roads that wind through rural wilderness minutes from downtown Kelowna.

Black Mountain contains a mix of older homes with modern architectural ones, many on substantial lots, while the Joe Rich area has more acreages and equestrian properties.

Proximity to Big White Ski Resort is certainly something that draws people into this area. Additionally, it offers a golf course, many hiking and snowmobile trails, as well as a number of wineries. The Black Mountain area truly is a stone's throw from Kelowna, and Joe Rich is maybe 20 minutes from town, so those wanting a more rural experience or lifestyle find this a great place to call home.
