Never in my wildest imaginings would I have ever looked at this as being of the Tudor style. My initial impression was of a Spanish Mission style residence. Be that as it may, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkimeen people seem to think this is a Tudor style building.
Set well back off the west side of Highway 97, the Nesbitt-Hext Residence stands at the end of Nettle Road. Nearby are the remains of an apple orchard, fewer than 100 trees, the rest of the property having been replanted to grapes.
