This is a unique opportunity to acquire a 1,200 acre master-planned development site just 30–40 minutes from downtown Halifax in West Hants. Originally envisioned as a luxury residential and resort community, the project was designed to include high-end amenities, a Nicklaus Design 18-hole golf course, a village centre, and a wide mix of residential and commercial uses. https://nicklausdesign.com/course/forestlakes/
The project achieved an extensive development agreement with the municipality, along with installation of some Infrastructure, 100+ subdivided lots, partial golf course construction and considerable infrastructure investment.
The project entered insolvency proceedings in 2020, but since then, an ownership group was established on behalf of investors to liquidate the land.
With the right developer, this project could be positioned to become one of Atlantic Canada’s premier destination communities, appealing to regional buyers, international investors, and retirees returning to the Maritimes. Alternatively, it offers potential for large-scale subdivision development, with or without a golf component.
