Developer to release lake-view single family lots
Hunters Hill, a Summerland based development company, has announced the limited release of the first phase of these single-family lake view lots.
“We have designed the lots to feature absolutely stunning views of Summerland and Okanagan Lake. People who have toured the site with us are, frankly, very shocked that a hillside development on non ALR land can offer so much flat, useable terrain. Invariably, people just can’t believe it’s there, and that it’s happening, in Summerland!”
