Auction fever is in full force in British Columbia. Beverly Hills-based Kennedy Wilson, a real estate auction company, and Buss Marketing will be conducting a Final Closeout Auction on May 16 that will see 40 luxury condominiums at Invermere’s Lake Windermere Pointe community cross the auction block.

Starting bids have been set at $85,000 to $180,000 on exquisite luxury condos previously priced at up to $512,900. The auction presents a golden opportunity to snap up a luxury condo at a bargain price.

Besides being affordable, Lake Windermere Pointe offers residents an unmatched quality of life, surrounded by rugged mountains carpeted with mature stands of fragrant evergreens.

The 40 condos up for auction (see windermerepointeauction.com) feature 11 different floor plans of one to two bedrooms each, offering up to 1,249 square feet of living space. Each home includes access to a swimming pool, heated spa, fitness centre and poolhouse. Bright, open designs with spacious balconies and barbecue decks provide picture-postcard views of Lake Windermere. Inside, each home features top-quality materials and high-end design details such as ceramic tile flooring in the entryway and brushed nickel hardware in gourmet kitchens. Plush wall-to-wall carpeting and central heating and air conditioning ensure every home is a paragon of comfort no matter what the season.
