Value and location make Forest Crowne a leader in Kimberley, B.C., vacation homes.
An easy four-hour drive from Calgary, and located in the heart of some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada, Forest Crowne is a unique, master planned resort community offering unparalleled investment value. "Forest Crowne is located on a series of treed plateaus, with more than 100 kilometres of regional trails and hiking trails right outside our homes," says Alix Halpen, marketing director for United Communities, who is developing Forest Crowne in partnership with TeckCominico Ltd.
"You get privacy and spectacular scenery, but you are still close to all of the great activities the area has to offer."
Forest Crowne is the largest master planned community in the Kootenays - a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with nearby golf courses, fishing, skiing, hiking/xtreme and x-country cycling.
The development is bordered by the 2,300-acre Kimberley Nature Park, Mark Creek, and Kimberley Municipal Golf Course, and connected to Kimberley Nordic Ski Trails and Kimberley Alpine Resort.
New to the development is a proposed three-acre outdoor pool and recreation area, with heated pool and large pool deck, tanning and picnic areas, outdoor year-round therapeutic whirlpool, and the owners' lodge with its stone fireplace, reading lounge, games area and catering kitchen - ideal for social gatherings and neighbourhood hospitality.
The first two phases are sold out and Eagles Nest Resort Homes Ltd., the designer and builder of The Cottages and The Vacation Homes of Forest Crowne, has just released its next 25 new woodland building sites and three new cottage designs. Construction starts are expected by mid-summer and occupancies are projected before ski season this year.
This is your opportunity to own a fully furnished and accessorized "turn key" quartershare cedar cottage with three bedrooms, three baths, two fireplaces, a patio deck and verandah, a carport, a full walk-out basement, vaulted ceilings, stained log railings, stained pine doors and trim and alder cabinets. Your share - one-week retreat every month for the rest of your life - starts from $99,900.
Full ownership is also available from $189,900.
Considering the location and thoughtful design of Forest Crowne, families will be pleasantly surprised at the pricing of the properties.
"Our prices are a big attraction," says Halpen. "It is not easy to find single family resort properties under $200,000 and we offer a great product."
Kimberley is located on BC Highway 95A, 32 kilometres north of Cranbrook and 80 kilometres south of Fairmont Hot Springs.
