When the developers took their first reconnaissance flight over what would become Kootenay Lake Village, they wondered why a community had never developed here, on what is undoubtedly the most prominent point on Kootenay Lake. When it comes to features like viewscapes, lakefront, access, and topography, it simply does not get any better; the setting is undeniably world-class. Waterfront and waterview 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 such as Nelson, BC.

The answer to the property’s dormant destiny lies in its inclusion in the Forest Land Reserve for many years. With the Forest Land Reserve Act having been repealed in 2004, this magnificent property has, for the first time in recent history, become available for residential development. The opportunity to create something special is enormous. So is the responsibility to create a legacy, which takes to heart the property’s essence and long time preservation. Thus the vision of Kootenay Lake Village was born.
