FEATURED DEVELOPMENT | Black Rock Estates

Black Rock Estates is a new opportunity in Fernie offered by AHC Developments. With over 30 years of experience in building a diverse range of homes and seven years of building and community involvement in Fernie, AHC ensures all projects are built to the highest standards while providing opportunities to local trades, materials and suppliers.

AHC has been a company recognized for its integrity and dependability since 1893. Traditions of this BC company include family commitment, quality construction, and community involvement. Family commitment means having two generations of Paone family members in leadership, administrative and hands-on construction roles. Quality construction is a cornerstone of all the work that they do. Community involvement includes volunteering for Church Advisory, School, and Construction Association Boards, Canadian Ski & Snowboard Association Board, Canadian Freestyle Ski Association Board and the Vancouver 2010 Olympic bid. From the founding partnership of Baynes and Horie, this construction company has stood the test of time by remaining strong and reliable to its customers. This family company continues, to this day, to ensure honest, reliable, professional, quality construction and management services.

AHC is best known in Fernie for its development of the popular Pinnacle Ridge, located between Fernie and Fernie Alpine Resort. Previously AHC solely operated out of Burnaby, B.C. With a growing development portfolio in Fernie, the company decided to purchase a 6,000 square foot shop and yard in the Ghostrider Industrial area in Fernie. This new permanent home in Fernie allows AHC to focus on and expand its mandate to provide residential, institutional, commercial and industrial projects for the long term in this area.

Black Rock Estates is one of the newest projects being offered by AHC, and is an exciting extension of its current portfolio. Treed lots with panoramic views located just off of the new golf course development at the base of Castle Mountain, Black Rock Estates is a private, paved cul-de-sac enhanced by beautifully landscaped rock walls, evergreen trees, amazing mountain views and exquisitely crafted custom timber-framed homes.

Black Rock Estates is an intimate eight lot subdivision for seclusion and privacy, whether you are a permanent resident or recreational home owner. AHC is developing this project to ensure the natural setting is protected and the homes are built with the highest of standards and design. Building design covenants have been put into place, and for the ease of ownership, there are no building time restrictions.

The intent of these building design guidelines is to foster and encourage architecture with a quality alpine nature. Building shapes and the arrangement of those shapes should respect the surrounding natural environment, not overpower it.
Buildings that appear to be from or of the land, rather than simply set onto the site will create a community that has, and retains, a high value. AHC’s building perspective is as follows:

“Fernie and Black Rock Estates is an area of intense snowfall. It is also an area with an abundant supply of wood products. The region’s architecture has evolved to respond to these conditions. Robust structure, natural materials, and modest forms are all characteristic of the regions buildings. Designing homes that address these issues, whether responses are traditional or modern, will result in architecture of interest and quality.”

Black Rock Estates is within walking distance to the Historic Downtown of Fernie and overlooks Fernie Alpine Resort, the Lizard Range, Mount Fernie, the Three Sisters, Mount Proctor and Mount Hosmer. Nestled into the exclusive wilderness, this development has currently sold two lots leaving six available. Lot sizes range from 6,749 square feet to 13,509 square feet and are each secluded and private. AHC is using the natural setting to enhance the development site, incorporating the black rock of the mountains within the landscaping. Prices for the lots start at $289,000.
