A 234-acre estate on the shores of Okanagan Lake is for sale, and the City of Vernon wants to turn it into a park.
The land was listed last week and it contains 11 parcels of land between Ellison Provincial Park and Predator Ridge. The property currently has no price tag, but it was last assessed at $16.5 million.
The beautiful land has been noticed by Vernon city councillor Scott Anderson, who wants to turn the estate into a park for the public to use. He made a successful motion in Monday's meeting in which the city will send a letter to BC Parks to encourage them to buy the property.
The motion also included a second letter to be sent to the Regional District of North Okanagan to seek their support in the purchase.
"I think this land would be the perfect place for a park," said Anderson. "It seems like the public would be on board with it as well."
