Perched on the mountainside in Kelowna’s Upper Mission, Fawn Run at The Ponds delivers luxurious living nestled in nature against the backdrop of the Okanagan Lake. This master-planned development has a variety of lots for sale, perfect for families seeking a forever home in an upscale Kelowna neighbourhood situated next to essential amenities and intertwined with the natural landscape.
Are you ready to take the next step in building your forever home in a premier community for your family? Let us take you through the process of building a new home at Fawn Run from lot selection to your happily ever after.
The first step to build your dream home is finding the perfect lot. Fawn Run has a variety of picturesque, generously sized lots for sale in Kelowna’s Upper Mission community. But how do you choose the right one for you and your family?
Your Preferred Lot Style: Depending on your family’s needs, consider whether a flat lot or a walk-out lot is best suited to your lifestyle. Flat lots provide ease-of-access from your front-door through to your backyard whereas walk-out lots offer a more functional basement – great for adding a basement suite or a naturally-lit basement entertainment space.
Your Preferred View: Everywhere you look at Fawn Run, the view is sure to take your breath away. No matter your preference, Fawn Run has a lot with a view for you. Consider if you would prefer a lake view lot, a city view lot, or a mountain view lot. And how the orientation of your dream home can be optimized to showcase your preferred view.
What Your Lot Backs Onto: It is always a good idea to take a lot’s surroundings into consideration. Lots that back onto greenspace offer privacy and seclusion as well as ease-of-access to nature and trails. Fawn Run offers a variety of cul-de-sac and no-thru-road lots that back onto greenspace to promote your active outdoor lifestyle.
Adjacent Amenities: Another important consideration is the lot’s proximity to desired amenities. Young families or households with active dogs or other pets may wish to live closer to Fawn Run’s new park and playground (opening Spring 2024). Homeowners of all types will appreciate the proximity to the newly constructed commercial centre featuring grocery, pharmacy and other convenient retailers (opening Spring/Summer 2024)
Road Type: Road traffic has an impact on your lifestyle which is why Fawn Run is designed with cul-de-sacs and no-thru roads at the forefront. Homes built on these quieted roads will experience limited, slowed traffic making for a much more safe and peaceful living environment.
Privacy: If privacy is of the utmost importance, consider how different features of a lot can tuck you away out of the public’s eye. Fawn Run boasts a variety of privacy-yielding lot characteristics such as raised lots, corner lots, lots that back onto hilled greenspace, lots located on a cul-de-sac or on a no-thru road, and lots with private lane-ways, to name a few.

So you have navigated the Kelowna real estate market and have chosen the perfect lot for you and your family in the master-planned Fawn Run development. What comes next? Now, begins the fun part where your new dream home can begin to take shape.
To us, luxurious living means customized living tailored to you and your individual style, tastes, and preferences. This is why Fawn Run is proud to offer its Open Builder Program, inviting you to work with your preferred architects, designers, and home builders to create a custom home designed to cater to your and your family’s unique needs.
You and your design team will pull inspiration from the landscape, surrounding views, and featured architectural styles of the Fawn Run guidelines, which are outlined below. The home styles within the Fawn Run Development Guidelines are carefully chosen to allow for creativity and showcasing your unique style, while preserving the integrity of the community.
A blend of country elements and contemporary features creates a stunning finished product that feels like a luxurious countryside home. The Modern Farmhouse style features clean lines, neutral colour palettes, and natural textures, which give this home design style a polished, yet down-to-earth feel that fits perfectly into the Fawn Run community.
Homes which embody the sun-soaked, Spanish-American feel of Mediterranean Homes feature low-pitched roofs, gorgeous archways, courtyard entries with ceramic tile accents, and a stucco-finish – this style of home fits right into the beautiful, sunny Okanagan valley.
If you are unsure how to find your own architect, designer, or custom home builder in Kelowna, we are more than happy to share our recommendations with you.
For more information on each design style, download our Development Guidelines or head over to our Instagram page.
Alongside your architectural plans, you will also work with your landscape design team to dream up a picturesque front, back, and side yard to perfectly complement your soon-to-be home.
Your landscape design does not have to be approved before you begin your home construction, but we encourage homeowners to integrate these designs as early as possible to ensure things like pools, patios, and equipment are considered during the planning stage to be seamlessly integrated as part of the build. It also helps to begin this process earlier rather than later to ensure that you can secure a great contractor early on.
It will make a world of difference to be able to move into your finished home if it has a beautifully finished landscape to match!
Upon completion of construction of the home and all required landscaping, the final inspection from the architectural and landscape design consultants will take place.
Once the Final Inspection is complete and passed, you and your family can begin your dream life in Fawn Run. From choosing your ideal lot to delving into the design of your dream home and landscaping, you have successfully navigated the exciting process of crafting your forever home. We welcome you to your new community and are so happy to have you as our neighbour.
Fawn Run at The Ponds aims to make the building process as seamless and enjoyable as possible for you and your family. Our vision is to bring families together in an upscale community that offers the convenience of nearby amenities, as well as an expansive backyard to play, learn, and explore.
Fawn Run at The Ponds has everything your family needs to live full, active, and happy lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. It is a community in which you and your family can safely put down roots.
