Live amongst the tall pines.
Just past Black Mountain on Highway 33, Joe Rich is a quiet rural area outside Kelowna's eastern boundary.
Set within a fire-protected forested region, Joe Rich features private and sparsely spaced homes and acreages ideal for those who wish to dwell in nature but be close enough to the city.
Only a short drive along Highway 33 to Big White Ski Resort and McCulloch Station Regional Park, the mountainous landscape makes Joe Rich a popular area for hiking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, skiing, and all-terrain vehicles.
Families also enjoy local amenities such as an outdoor ice rink, tennis court, playground, park, sports field, and community hall, available for family functions and events.
