Okanagan Property and Homes in Summerland, British Columbia

Sedona Heights is nestled on a hillside in Summerland, BC overlooking Okanagan Lake and a stone's throw from several renowned Okanagan Valley wineries. The small but vibrant community is tucked between Penticton and Kelowna. At home you're in the country, amid rambling orchards and lush vineyards, but just five minutes away is the storybook Tudor town of Summerland with assorted shops, delis, restaurants, artist studios and galleries. The rhythm of life is slower here, leaving time to enjoy all the recreation the Okanagan Valley has to offer. Sedona Heights is the latest premiere development from a longtime Okanagan developer, Todd Gillard.

Sedona Heights Developer, Todd Gillard

Todd Gillard was born and raised in Penticton, BC. He graduated from Penticton High School in 1979 and then completed a degree in business administration at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 1982. He went on to get his real estate license and sold in the Metro Vancouver area for several years before returning to the Okanagan Valley. Through his construction and development company, Elderres Holdings, Todd has built a variety of residences, both single home and multi-family, and exclusive developments in Penticton, Summerland and at Apex Mountain. He lives in Sedona Heights with his young family.

"I had just returned from visiting a friend in Scottsdale," says property owner and developer, Todd Gillard. "We toured the area, south to Tuscon and into Nogales, Mexico, north to the Grand Canyon. Along the way, I fell in love with Sedona. Its amazing rock formations are mystical and almost surreal. When I returned, I began looking for a piece of property and came across this parcel in Summerland. The clay bluffs and massive rock outcroppings reminded me of Sedona."

As he stood on the highest ground on the northern tip of the property, he envisioned an elegant, terraced community with unique water features flowing across the gently rolling hillside. His vision is now becoming reality.

The Perfect Blend of Country Living and Upscale Urban

Sedona Heights sits in a valley ridge with a panoramic view of the pastoral countryside and beautiful Okanagan Lake. The ribbon of blue water is bordered by dramatic clay bluffs, similar to those found in Sedona, Arizona, the namesake of this exclusive new gated community in the heart of wine country.

Sedona Heights is comprised of thirty-four spacious, terraced lots. The majority of the building sites have sweeping views looking south down the valley over a carpet of orchards and vineyards. To blend with the natural environment, each luxury home will feature tiled roofs, timber accents, wood windows, side garages, and grand front entranceways. Reminiscent of the US southwest, the architectural stylings are also a nod to the Okanagan's semi-desert locale. No palm trees on this landscape though, only Ponderosa Pine and other native plants and trees amid the bedrock, as well as a majestic waterfall at the main gate.

Several of the homes already built in the community have combined geothermal and solar heating systems. Rainwater from roadways is captured and allowed to percolate back into the ground. Other green technologies are being considered.

Bask in the warmth of a small and welcoming community. Enjoy the peace of mind, privacy and sense of security that a gated community brings. Live the good life here, drenched in Okanagan sunshine. Sedona Heights is the perfect place to build your dream home.

Or spend a lazy day floating down the river channel. Prefer the links? The valley is lined with thirty golf courses to challenge you in all four seasons.

For the hardcore athletes, Penticton is home to the Ironman in August, an event that is enthusiastically supported by the community.

Food and wine lovers will be in gourmet heaven too. There are farmers' markets and local producers throughout the valley, seasonal festivals and delightful cafés.
