Say hello to 234 Sugar Lake Road, a sprawling property located near the Shuswap Falls, which is a little east of Vernon. Set between a river and a creek, this 8.8 acre property is practically surrounded with lush forest and the sound of running water. We have to admit, it’s a pretty serene starting point.

But rather than building a modern and nondescript cabin, the current owners opted for their dream home. Specifically, a recreation/reimagining of 15th-century castles, complete with arched entryways, vaulted ceilings, and even a cute little moat/drawbridge combo out front.

The fun doesn’t stop there, either. The list of unique touches is pretty staggering, and ranges from a legitimate ‘rooftop patio’ complete with an outdoor kitchen to a whole swack of wood-burning stoves. Got a guest coming to stay? One of the rooms can become a fully self-contained ‘lock off’ suite for those wanting a super weird Airbnb experience or something.

However, their commitment to the aesthetic doesn’t come with too many convenience trade-offs. Inside, you’ll find (relatively) modern amenities like a semi-gourmet kitchen, spa-like amenities in the main bedroom’s ensuite, and polished concrete floors. Finally, a connection to BC Hydro means you won’t have to worry about the lights, or the Wi-Fi, going out anytime soon.
