FEATURED DEVELOPMENT - Fernie Golf Estates

By KRISTA TURCASSO

Located inside the fairways of the picturesque Fernie Golf & Country Club is Fernie Golf Estates, conceived to be an island within the golf course. This development, which began in 1998, is conveniently within walking distance of the Historic Downtown, and located near both the secondary school and elementary school. With its close proximity to the bustling town centre, Fernie Golf Estates offers an intimate setting surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the colourful, well-maintained and landscaped fairways of the golf course. These properties also allow quick and easy access to Fernie’s extensive trail network and the beautiful Elk River.

Fernie Golf Estates is one of Fernie Vacation Properties’ numerous development projects in Fernie, among them Juniper Lodge and Polar Peak Lodges located in the village at Fernie Alpine Resort. Fernie Vacation Properties has developed over 220 homes in Fernie since 1990 and has an impressive portfolio containing an array of signature properties and projects.

As many of Fernie Vacation Properties projects are located at Fernie Alpine Resort, Fernie Golf Estates is a unique offering in town. These homes feature Andreas Kaminski of AKA Architecture with interiors by the respected Fernie design firm, Emmerson Design and also a new designer, Whistler Interior Design Ltd. The final result is a well appointed contemporary craftsman theme that flows with the setting at the Fernie Golf & Country Club.
