It is rare to find a master-
planned community
dedicated to celebrating
natural beauty, and sensitivity
to preserving the integrity
of surrounding majestic surroundings.
Wildstone, set
amid the rugged inspirational
landscape of Rocky Mountain
wilderness in Cranbrook,
British Columbia is such a
development.
900 acres of scenic land,
showcased by heavily forested
mountains, lush valleys,
and cool crystalline lakes, is
being transformed into a culturally
vibrant village centred
around an idyllic six acre
lake. Residents will find in
the pedestrian-friendly village
centre, a tantalizing variety
of cafes, patios, boutique
shops, festivals, restaurants,
and galleries. A four-season
paradise with a cornucopia of
urban amenities.
Ultimately there will
be 3000 residences in
Wildstone, ranging from
custom single-family homes
on a wide variety of homesite
sizes, side-by-side villas, multifamily
townhomes, lock’n
leave condominiums, estate
homes, and more. Havaday
President, Joel Savage, indicated
that, “We had three
major goals in mind, to
respect the environment,
provide four-season-fun in a
village environment, and
meet the broad spectrum of
homebuyers needs.”
Incredibly, the first
phase of Wildstone, The
Whins, sold in one day. This
Canadian Rockies’ record of
selling 76 homesites has set
a standard for future phases.
To put things into perspective,
Gary Player, whose
group is designing the
Wildstone golf course stated,
“This is the most beautiful
site I’ve ever had the privilege
to design a golf course on…
nature has given us this wonderful
gift. We’d like to leave
here saying, ‘we created a gift
for nature.’ ”
All distinctive residential
pods will be constructed
in close proximity to The
Village and The Clubhouse,
all of which are architecturally
designed to emulate
Wildstone’s natural landscapes.
Careful craftsmanship,
impressive scale, and
extensive use of natural
materials, will seamlessly
blend this community into
its surroundings. Wildstone’s
vision is not to overpower
nature, but to create living
environments that honour
nature.
Wildstone’s Cranbrook
location has been carefully
chosen, as this dynamic
Rocky Mountain city combines
urban convenience
with a wilderness heart. The
newly expanded Canadian
Rockies International Airport
makes accessing Wildstone
even more convenient. Highway
93/95 takes you to
Wildstone, whose homes gaze
southeast towards the inspiring
Rockies and majestic
Mount Fisher.
Purchasing a home in
Wildstone is buying a
lifestyle, for whether you
choose to spend all of your
time exploring the wonders of
The Village or the extensive
Great Outdoors, this is a
mountain paradise for recreation
all year round. From fly
fishing, golfing on one their
two golf courses, to hiking
the multitude of trails, skiing
in the winter, or sitting by a
cozy restaurant and reminiscing,
Wildstone is a magnet
for four-season fun.
There are many benefits
of ownership at
Wildstone, including priority
tee time reservations at
the Black Knight course,
designed by Gary Player,
priority reservations at the
spa, unlimited access to the
Recreation Centre, and free
shuttle service to and from
the airport.
With the fitness area,
indoor/outdoor swimming
pool, multi-use outdoor
courts, and other recreational
venues, the Recreation
Centre is a true community
gathering place. For visitors
who come to experience
Wildstone’s environment and
to explore the surrounding
countryside, a unique boutique
Lodge is just the
answer. So whether you come
to relax in the spa, or work in
the conference centre with its
leading-edge technological
capabilities, Wildstone is a
destination for play, rest,
contemplation, or even business
activities.
