If you’re looking for acreage for sale in BC, you mustn’t overlook the quaint and exciting community of Penticton. Located in south-central British Columbia at the heart of the Okanagan Valley, Penticton sits on the ancestral land of the Syilx and Okanagan native Aboriginal tribes.
In fact, this exceptional city gets its name from the Interior Salish word “snpintktn,” which translates as “a place to stay forever” “or “a place where people live year-round.” The municipal government of Penticton considers the name particularly apt, maintaining that the city is “the kind of place where people come to visit for the holidays – and never want to leave.”

The Canadian government’s Environment and Climate Change Canada also sings Penticton’s praises with stats that demonstrate its exceptional natural environment and typical weather patterns. With more than 2,100 hours of sunshine and just 15 inches of rain annually, Penticton has the most appealing climate of all cities in Canada.
In addition to its long and warm summers, Penticton’s two adjacent lakes (Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake) have given it a widespread reputation for exceptional beachgoing. During the colder months, the city remains relatively temperate and dry while the surrounding mountains get ample champagne powder snow to support outstanding skiing and other popular winter sports.
The Penticton area is also home to some of the most celebrated wineries in the Okanagan Valley’s world-famous wine-producing region. While traveling among the more than 100 wineries that stand within an hour’s drive of Penticton, visitors are treated to views of rolling benchlands, expansive lakes, and breathtaking mountains. In town, people can shop at Penticton’s bustling outdoor market, browse its many art galleries, or ice skate in its contemporary Community Center.
Penticton is also widely regarded as the festival center of the Okanagan Valley, From the Peach Festival to the Meadowlark Nature Festival, there is almost always something happening in the Penticton community all year long. The annual Penticton Elvis Festival gathers some of the best Elvis tribute artists in the world to honor the work of the iconic King of Rock and Roll.
