When a property can accommodate covered parking for 10 vehicles — and uncovered for twice that — you know it’s big. The grounds of this two-storey wood frame Sardis house are certainly sprawling: the 1.5 acreage, surrounded by stretches of neighbouring green farmland, includes an in-ground pool with detached pool house/bar with sink and fridge, outdoor shower, in-ground hot tub, putting green, and expansive upper and lower heated decks with mountain views. Perfect for parties.

“The interest I’ve been getting is for generational living,” says Newberry of potential buyers. “Two and three, in one case four, families who want to amalgamate into one property. It’s usually the mom and dad, their two married kids with maybe their own kids. So you have three families who have sold their respective homes and now want to occupy this property together.”
