Tobiano is one of those places where the drive in tells you most of what you need to know. Twenty minutes west of Kamloops, the road opens up to Kamloops Lake, the golf course, and a run of homes that sit up on the bench above all of it. 347 Rue Cheval Noir is one of them, and if you have been waiting for the right place to come up in this community, this one is worth a closer look.

Here is the short version: it is a 3,974 square foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home listed at $1,300,000 (MLS® 10383584). It was built by Cressman Homes in 2020 and has only ever had one owner. That last part matters more than it sounds, and I will get to why.

A One-Owner Build That Was Done Right

There is a difference between a house that has been lived in and a house that has been looked after. This one has been looked after.

It is a two-storey build on a half-acre lot (21,780 square feet), freehold, with a full unfinished basement underneath. Stone and stucco exterior, forced-air heat, central air conditioning. Nothing about it was rushed. When a home has had a single owner from the day it was finished, you tend to see it in the details, and that is the case here.

A Main Floor Built for Everyday Living

The main floor is open concept, anchored by an oversized great room that flows into the dining area and a bright kitchen with a central island and more cabinetry than most people know what to do with. It is the kind of layout that works whether you are cooking dinner for two or hosting a crowd.

The part I want to point out is the primary suite. It sits right here on the main floor, with a five-piece ensuite, a soaker tub, and a large walk-in closet. A main-floor primary is one of those features people do not always think to ask for until they have it, and then they never want to go back. It makes the home work for a wider range of buyers, from families to anyone thinking a few steps ahead about single-level living.

Rounding out the main floor is a two-piece powder room and a combined laundry and mudroom with access straight into the double garage. Small thing, big difference on a snowy Kamloops morning.

Room to Spread Out, Upstairs and Down

Up top, you will find two more large bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom, and a good-sized rec room with views out over Kamloops Lake and the surrounding hills. It is a comfortable second living space that keeps kids, guests, or a home office well away from the main floor.

Then there is the basement. It is full and unfinished, which I always tell people is a good problem to have. It is set up to add two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a second rec room, and a utility and storage room. That is real future value, whether you finish it for family, for guests, or down the road when you sell. A quick note for anyone browsing the photos: the basement images have been digitally enhanced to show the potential.

The Outdoor Space and the Smart Features

The covered patio out back adds about 475 square feet of outdoor living, and it is positioned to take in those Tobiano sunrises and sunsets the area is known for. The yard is fenced, landscaped, and backs onto communal green space, so you get privacy without staring at your neighbour's fence. There is stamped and coloured concrete, and a pad already set up and ready for a hot tub and loungers.

Inside, the home was set up smart from the start. That means a Google Smart Home system with a doorbell camera and thermostat, remote-controlled electric blinds in every room, and a Rain Bird Bluetooth irrigation system running eight zones so the landscaping takes care of itself. These are the kinds of upgrades that are a headache to add later and a real bonus when they are already dialled in.

Why Tobiano

Tobiano earns its reputation. The golf course here is regularly ranked among the top public courses in Canada, and living in the community means it is essentially in your backyard. You are on Kamloops Lake, with boating and beaches close by, and still only about twenty minutes from everything Kamloops proper offers, from TRU to the shops and restaurants along the North Shore and Aberdeen.

It is quieter out here than in town, but not remote. For a lot of people, that balance is exactly the point.

Come See It for Yourself

347 Rue Cheval Noir is listed at $1,300,000, MLS® 10383584, three bedrooms and three bathrooms with plenty of room to grow in the basement. A one-owner home this well cared for in Tobiano does not come up often.

If it sounds like the kind of place you have been picturing, reach out and let's book a viewing. I would be glad to walk you through it in person and answer whatever questions you have.

Be Great!
