Named for its volcanic soil, Black Mountain is just a short drive east of the city centre. This popular area has family-friendly neighbourhoods with gorgeous views of the valley and lake. Joe Rich lies just beyond Black Mountain, where the roads wind through a beautiful rural wilderness.

A world-class golf course and easy access to hiking trails, snowmobiling trails, wineries, an outdoor adventure centre, and Big White Ski Resort make Black Mountain feel like a playground. Convenient to city amenities, and easy to reach via Highway 33, this location appeals to those who seek the Okanagan lifestyle with suburban comforts. Joe Rich residents enjoy a more remote atmosphere, and most of the properties here are tucked away in the wooded hillsides off of the highway, though still only 20 minutes from town.

Black Mountain consists mainly of single-family homes on comfortable lots. Older, established neighbourhoods mix with new developments that showcase spectacular architecture. Exceptional views from hillside lots attract buyers to the area. Some townhome and condo options are available near the golf course. Joe Rich offers a collection of expansive rural acreages and equestrian properties and farms.
