Our Story - Château Okanagan

INTRODUCING CHÂTEAU LUXURY
TO THE OKANAGAN

Embrace the essence of French luxury across 44 beautifully kept acres draped across the shores of Okanagan Lake. This gated waterfront estate edges almost one kilometre of exclusive shoreline, with five craggy beaches and numerous pathways awaiting your footsteps. Château Okanagan is the largest private rental property in the Okanagan and one of the most luxurious estates in Western Canada. With a private chef, customized experiences, and unparalleled amenities, nowhere compares.

A GRANDE VISION

Château Okanagan’s origins began in the late 1950s when the Holzhey Family, originally from Augsburg, Germany, discovered the charms of the Okanagan Valley during hunting and fishing trips. Michael Holzhey, ventured to Vancouver, BC for an internship at a forestry company where he met and later married Nadia in 1996. They settled in Kelowna, BC, pursuing commercial and residential real estate projects while raising their sons.

Originally a family home, Château Okanagan now stands as a Private Villa and Wellness Spa on 44 private acres. Offering luxury with 180° lake views from every room, its interiors blend French and old-world influences with furnishings and textiles sourced from France and the Mediterranean.

IMPRESSIVE ARCHITECTURE & AUTHENTIC STYLE

It takes time to create a legend. Our thoughtful process unfolded over five years, as we meticulously integrated French design elements into The Château. We unearthed treasured antiques, authentic furnishings, and beautiful building materials. From cascading fountains to gleaming chandeliers, every inch of the estate is designed for you to embrace European culture and revel in the energy of the Okanagan.
