About Kootenay Lake Village
|
Imagine your every view is a virtual
postcard, stamped of course, with
your home address.
It’s possible if you own a lot in
Kootenay Lake Village, a one-of-a-kind,
180-hectare (with nearly three kilometres
of shoreline) waterfront development
on spectacular Kootenay Lake. The
Kootenay Rockies region in the southeast
corner of British Columbia is cradled by
the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges
to the east, while serving as a stunning
backdrop to Kootenay Lake.
Kootenay Lake Village is situated 35
kilometres east of the vibrant and eclectic
mountain town of Nelson, which overlooks
the West Arm of Kootenay Lake,
and has been described as “the best
small art town in Canada.” Brimming
with culture, amenities, and recreational
opportunities, Nelson’s storybook charm
and fanciful demeanour, (more than 350
Victorian-style residential and commercial
buildings adorn the streets), add
refinement and helps to preserve a 19th
century atmosphere.
Easy access to Nelson assures you
are not too remote, however, the serenity
that envelopes Kootenay Lake Village
provides a feeling of comfortable seclusion.
There is at least 104 hectares of the
property which is designated as protected
green space, much of which is one
hundred-year-old-plus cedar forest that
covers the surrounding area of Kootenay
Lake Village. The forest is designated as
parkland and commonly shared by all lot
owners. Adjoining the Village is 50 kilometres
of undeveloped pristine shoreline
and secluded beaches. The developers
are investigating a suitable site for a
marina nearby and the potential to build
a world-class waterfront walkway leading
to the beach.
The vision behind Kootenay Lake
Village is the creation of a unique outdoor
lifestyle community — a place for people
who want an abundance of recreational
activities at their
doorstep. Few places
boast beauty that is
more superb with visionary
planning based on a
commitment to respect
and preserve the natural
environment.
The area receives
1,876 hours of sunshine
annually, so it’s
easy to understand why
the Kootenay Rockies
outdoor lifestyle is rife
with limitless recreational
options with
people of all ages anxious to explore the
possibilities. Four very distinct seasons
characterize the area’s climate, but with
temperatures that remain relatively moderate
and comfortable, permitting outdoor
activities to be enjoyed year round.
The Kootenay Rockies has always
been a nature lover’s paradise and your
choices easily crossover into seasonal
activities. Residents can launch a boat,
reel in a kokanee salmon, swim, hike,
cycle, or mountain bike, hit the links,
cross-country ski, carve big turns down
world-class resort runs, or simply sightsee
— all in the surroundings of unsurpassed
natural beauty.
An extensive hiking and biking trail
network, which winds through moss covered
forests, links the shoreline to the
upper reaches of the mountain. Easily
accessible from all lots, these trails connect
a series of awe-inspiring lookout
points, picnic areas, and log and timber
framed viewing decks. Prime flat land,
ideally suited to a village centre, has
been identified as a potential future commercial
and residential development.
“When it comes to features like
viewscapes, lakefront, access, and topography,
it simply does not get any better;
the setting is undeniably world-class,”
says developer Jon Long, Kootenay Lake
Estates Development Corp., “Properties
of such magnitude and splendour are an
extremely rare find anywhere, let alone
in a region with such a rich history of
thriving communities.”
Kootenay Lake Village is a strata
development whereby owners share in
the costs of maintaining the common
infrastructure, park, and trail network.
The hiking and biking trails
which consist of cedar bridges over
marshy expanses are easily accessible
from all lots.
The first phase of waterfront home
sites, the Founders Phase, was released
in the summer of 2006. A limited number
of upland water view lots will be marketed
in 2007 for release in 2008.
Homes in the development are built
based on architectural design and building
guidelines that protect the owner’s
investment, promotes privacy, and
ensures construction is sympathetic to
the landscape and blends into the natural
environment. Those who make their
homes here will be a part of something
special; an outdoor lifestyle community
where residents will be able to “play in
nature,” as an extension of their lifestyle.
