If you doubt the company president's word when he tells you Stone Creek Properties is in the business of dream-weaving,
sit back, relax and lend an ear.
Then allow Terry O'Grady to paint a word picture that will prove his point.
"We may never find another site of this scale, this magnitude, this beauty, anywhere in the world again," O'Grady said in reference to the remarkable private-
residence resort that is soon to rise near the perimeters of the SilverTip Golf Resort.
"A dozen mountain peaks on the sunny side of the Bow Valley Corridor. An extra three hours of sunlight each day during the winter. And nothing less than a spectacular view from any vantage on the property," he continued.

SilverTip Village, the soon-to-be realized heart of this ambitious prestige development in Canmore, brings out the poet in O'Grady.
When he discusses the amenities to be included in this once-in-a-lifetime residential resort, it's easy to understand why.
They include a five-star, signature hotel in the midst of the village, scheduled for first-phase completion in early 2004.
They include major convention and conference facilities, world-class spa, and choice retail space within an alpine, pedestrian-friendly village setting.
In all likelihood, they will include a major entertainment component, two smaller lodge-style hotels and a host of other facilities.
And the anchor, of course, is the SilverTip Golf Course – the 7,200-yard championship course, which promises a challenging 18-hole round as well as a breathtakingly scenic vista from every tee.
In all, approval has been granted to build close to 2,000 units on almost 600 acres. And every door of every balcony will open to paradise.
Despite the enormous allure of the SilverTip Golf Resort as an investment opportunity, the owner, Stone Creek Properties, wishes to emphasize that the project was not designed with the "quick flip" in mind.
"This is not just real estate," stressed O'Grady. "This is all about dreams."
Members of the Stone Creek Properties’ ownership group are not particularly interested in rapid turn-around or fast profits. That's simply not their style.
On the contrary, the four owners are committed to stability, long-term growth and the utmost in quality. They are committed to developing this landmark project in the exclusive tradition of the Ritz-Carlton Clubs of Colorado and St. Thomas, or the developments taking place in Beaver Creek and Bachelor’s Gulch of Colorado.
But their involvement won’t stop there. Stone Creek Properties intends to retain an onsite
presence in the management of day-to-day operations.
“We really are in the customer-service business,” said O’Grady.
“Our goal is to exceed our customers’ expectations in
everything we do.”
Each of these respected Canadian business leaders –
Guy Turcotte (Western Oil Sands Inc.), Bud McCaig (Trimac Corporation), Gordon Stollery (Angus Glen Golf Club & Development Ltd.) and Geoff Cumming (Gardner Group Capital) – has contributed immeasurably to the economic strength of this country.
And by creating the SilverTip Golf Resort, these men intend to create a permanent legacy, in absolute harmony with the pristine natural setting of the Bow Valley Corridor.
The corporate philosophy is summed up in a single succinct phrase: Naturally Inspired.
In that spirit, each company project – including the exciting Eagle Ranch Golf Resort in Invermere, B.C. – is conceived and developed with an attitude of reverence toward the splendor and ecological delicacy of its natural setting.
Intrigued?
If so, single family lots, townhouses and single-level apartments at SilverTip Golf Resort are available now.

"Come and see us," urged O'Grady. "We'll educate you over the next several months and when the time comes to buy, you'll be first in line."
"Everybody's got a dream," reiterated Stone Creek Properties’ president O'Grady. "And we're creating a vehicle to help them realize that dream.”
