Gated Wine Country Estate
410 Upper Bench Road North, Uplands/Redlands, Penticton, BC
🏡 The Property
A Rare Estate at the Edge of Wine Country
Gated, private, and overflowing with character — this is one of those Penticton properties that doesn’t come along often.
Tucked behind its own gate on Upper Bench Road North, this 3,150 sqft home sits in one of Penticton’s most coveted addresses: an elevated residential bench where estate properties border the Naramata wine trail. Da Silva Vineyards and Misconduct Wine Co. are about 90 metres away. Township 7 is under 200 metres. The KVR Trail begins at the end of the block. And Okanagan Lake is a five-minute drive. This isn’t a neighbourhood — it’s a lifestyle.
The home itself is warm and generous. A grand entrance opens into formal living spaces, including a light-filled living room anchored by a gas fireplace, a family room with a wood-burning stove, and a large dining area framed by expansive windows. The primary suite on the upper level is a proper retreat — 5-piece spa ensuite with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and his-and-hers vanities. Three more bedrooms and a total of four bathrooms give the layout room to breathe for families or hosting.
The converted garage is a standout feature: two additional bedrooms, a 2-piece bathroom, laundry, and a kitchen sink in a fully self-contained studio. Home office, in-law suite, creative space, or income-generating unit — it’s a versatile asset that the main house square footage doesn’t even count.
Outside, the 0.4-acre grounds feel like a private resort. Saltwater pool, hot tub, fire pit, fragrant lavender, fruit trees, and a charming chicken coop. Solar panels and 200-amp service underpin the whole operation. Five parking spots, including RV parking. Built in 1945 with the kind of bones and footprint you can’t replicate today.

Trails & Outdoor Life Near Upper Bench Road
The Uplands sits at the intersection of three of Penticton’s best outdoor corridors — the KVR Trail, the Naramata Bench trail network, and Munson Mountain. You don’t need a car for any of them.
One of BC’s iconic rail-trail conversions, the KVR runs flat along the Naramata Bench with panoramic views of Okanagan Lake. It’s a favourite for cyclists, joggers, and walkers — you can pedal north toward Naramata village or head south through Penticton. The trailhead from Upper Bench Road is essentially at your doorstep.
→ KVR Trail infoA paved trail winds to the summit of Munson Mountain, offering one of the best 360° views in the South Okanagan — both lakes, the city, and vineyard-covered benches. The climb is gentle enough for families and the payoff is worth it every time.
→ Trail detailsThe Naramata Bench offers kilometres of trail running between wineries, orchards, and lakeview viewpoints. Whether you’re on foot, gravel bike, or e-bike, the routes here pass through some of the most photogenic terrain in BC wine country.
Penticton’s famous canal walk connects Okanagan Lake to Skaha Lake — a flat, paved 2.5 km path perfect for walking, cycling, and watching the river channel flow between the two lakes. A uniquely Penticton experience that never gets old.

Beaches Near the Uplands
Penticton sits between two lakes — Okanagan to the north, Skaha to the south. From Upper Bench Road, you’re equidistant to both, meaning summer lake days are never more than a few minutes away.
Penticton’s main Okanagan Lake beach stretches along Lakeshore Drive — sandy, popular, and well-serviced with washrooms, parking, and the famous Penticton floating water park in season. The Peach band shell and Gyro Park are along the same strip.
→ Beach infoSkaha is the quieter, warmer lake — its south-facing beach is a local favourite for families and those who prefer less crowd. Skaha Lake Park has excellent amenities including a large playground, picnic areas, and a full marina. Water temperatures here tend to run warmer through the summer.
→ Park detailsPedal the KVR Trail north from Upper Bench Road and you’ll reach small, secluded swimming spots along the Naramata shore — less trafficked than the main Penticton beaches, with the bonus of stopping at tasting rooms along the way.
For boating households, the main boat launch on Okanagan Lake is a short drive from the Uplands. With 5 parking spots including RV, there’s room for a trailer rig at home before heading to the water.
