The overall concept for the land is to develop it into an “eco-adventure ranch”.

All the wetland areas will be left in their “natural” state with only a few access trails/ bridges built to permit wildlife viewing . The remaining development will be phased in over several years.

The first phase will see all the pasture fields tilled and seeded with some irrigation applied.

Approximately, 2000 square feet of the landing zone will be allocated as a folding area for paragliding and hang gliding pilots. This area will be seeded and heavily irrigated to establish and maintain a green grassy area.

Owners, John McIsaac and Cathy-Anne David see phased development in the coming years that will include specific features:

  1. Establishment of a flight camp including 20 tenting sites and 44
    full service RV sites
  2. Preservation of the natural wetlands and development of a trail
    system to include activities such as hiking, biking and skiing
  3. Preservation of the Agricultural Land Reserve Designation by
    upgrading pasture lands and the creation of an organic market
    garden.
  4. Establishment of a 12 room lodge with out cabins, spa and
    restaurant.

Development phases and features will, of course, depend upon appropriate approvals by  regional and agricultural authorities.

The long term plans include the construction of a four season alpine style lodge complete with restaurant and health/spa amenities.
