Welcome to Forest Lakes Country Club, the premium four-season resort destination in stunning Atlantic Canada.

We acquired this beautiful forested site in 2007 with a vision to create a high-quality resort community with every conceivable amenity including a spectacular Nicklaus Design golf course. A special place where local, national and international clients could live and call their home.

Forest Lakes Country Club is situated in the eastern Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is a region that is renowned for its traditional values: friendliness, unlocked doors and a seamless blend of people and cultures. Forest Lakes brings these values together, creating an inspirational family community.

Under six hours flight from London and just a two-hour flight from New York City, the resort’s prime location in the heart of Nova Scotia gives it unprecedented local, regional and global appeal.

Our world-class homes, set in spectacular forest and lakeside scenery include a mix of villas, townhomes and condominiums, offering a choice for every taste.

And as members of the Canadian Green Building Council we are committed to sustainable design and development.

We have assembled a world-class team comprised of local and international architects, engineers, master planners, golf designers and

marketing experts including Nicklaus Design, EDSA, DTJ Design and

WSP to ensure that Forest Lakes Country Club sets new standards for resort development worldwide.

As natives of Atlantic Canada, we are extremely proud of Forest Lakes Country Club and all that it will bring to this region of Atlantic Canada.

We invite you to become part of our community and we hope that Forest Lakes Country Club can become ‘your home for all seasons’.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPERS AND VISIONARIES

FOREST LAKES COUNTRY CLUB, NOVA SCOTIA: YEAR-ROUND ENJOYMENT, CREATED AROUND YOU

Forest Lakes Country Club is becoming the premium four-season resort in the heart of Nova Scotia, Canada, where local, national

and international clients of all ages can enjoy a spectacular destination, a high-quality lifestyle and activities in harmony with the magnificent nature and ambiance of Atlantic Canada.

Located on the picturesque Atlantic coast, with over 7,000 km of rugged coastline, it is perhaps unsurprising that Nova Scotia is known as ‘Canada's Ocean Playground’. This spectacular Maritime province, boasting the longest stretch of coastline in the world with its white sand beaches, estuaries, bays, cliffs and lighthouses, is rich in history and culture.

The award-winning Halifax International Airport is easily accessible from a number of major cities including: Boston (one-hour), New York (two hours) London (six hours) and Frankfurt (seven hours). Other important US cities with direct connection to Halifax include Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta and Orlando.

Nova Scotians are genuinely friendly and welcoming; you will find that nothing is too much trouble for them to ensure that your stay in their province is both memorable and pleasurable, to keep you coming back.

Over 80 percent of Nova Scotia's population can trace their ancestry either wholly or partly to the British Isles. Nova Scotians have maintained proud traditions from their Celtic heritage, so evident throughout the province and in local culture today.

Unlike much of the rest of Canada, Nova Scotia sits on the same latitude as the south of France. Visitors find that the climate is unexpectedly comfortable, with warmer summers and milder winters than can be experienced further inland in cities such as Calgary or Toronto. The province is perhaps most famous for its spectacular contrasting seasons, each ideal for enjoying many varied year-round outdoor activities: spring leads into balmy summers, with the unrivalled beauty of autumn preceding our snowy and picturesque winters.

Nova Scotia’s culture blends a vibrant mix of Scottish, Acadian and Mi’kmaq heritage and the inhabitants certainly enjoy any excuse to celebrate – in fact their calendar lists more than 750 festivals and events year-round.

Like New England, the province is renowned for its marvellous seafood cuisine, prepared by nationally recognised chefs in some of Atlantic Canada’s finest restaurants and accompanied by award-winning wines from local vineyards.

There is no shortage of interesting places to visit in Nova Scotia. Every day offers a new adventure, allowing you to choose whether to discover the region’s historic lighthouses and dramatic beaches, tour cultural hotspots including any of the 27 museums, indulge in numerous sports and outdoor activities, explore the beautiful wilderness, or simply wander around one of the region’s 150 outdoor parks.

Surfing, golfing, fishing, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, diving, riding, hiking, whale watching, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, snowmobiling and even ziplining are all available within a short drive. And for the most adventurous the world’s highest tides offer exhilarating wave rides you won’t experience anywhere else.

More than 1,300 restaurants across the province offer well prepared fresh produce, notably the world-famous lobster and seafood, as well as local wines on their menus. No visit is complete without a trip to the UNESCO world heritage town of Lunenburg. Steeped in seafaring history, this picturesque seafront community boasts a beautiful wharf that is its most popular tourist attraction.

Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and is considered the economic and cultural powerhouse of the region. This fast-growing city is experiencing massive economic growth and prosperity, not least due to the CAD$25 billion federal shipbuilding contract awarded to Irving Shipbuilding Yard in 2011.

The city has also been highlighted as one of the country’s fastest growing real estate markets, as more and more people discover the exceptional lifestyle and beautiful environment in the province.

Halifax is a renowned cultural centre, boasting a wide array of art galleries, theatres and museums, as well as sports and entertainment facilities.

The city hosts a wide variety of festivals including The Atlantic Film Festival, The Atlantic Jazz Festival, The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, Canada Day and Tall Ships Festival events to name a few. Some of these have become world-renowned events.

NOVA SCOTIA CUISINE

With over 50 restaurants lining its bustling streets, Halifax boasts more pubs, clubs and nightlife venues per capita than almost anywhere else in Canada, making going out to eat, drink and dance in this city a whole lot of fun!

Eating out is a particular delight, as Halifax’s restaurants are supplied with exceptional-quality produce from the surrounding area. Diners can choose from numerous restaurants; whether preferring gastronomic or leisurely eating, the cuisine is well-prepared and the service always friendly. The seafood is supreme, notably the red lobster which is among the best in the world.

In addition to a myriad of stores and boutiques, Halifax Shopping Centre is Atlantic Canada's largest multi-building shopping centre, which attracts over 110,000 people every week.

Founded by the legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, Nicklaus Design is widely regarded as the world’s leading golf design firm, having created almost 400 courses in 36 countries worldwide.

The course, which will be the only internationally recognised golf design brand in the region, has been thoughtfully planned to enhance the stunning environment, as well as to provide some challenging play – above all to ensure enjoyment for players of all levels.

The naturally undulating terrain provides the perfect setting for Forest Lakes Country Club’s 18-hole golf course. As the seasons change and the colours of the surrounding forest evolve from luscious green to glowing gold and orange, golfers will appreciate the spectacular scenery as much as the high quality of our Nicklaus Design golf course.

An exceptional clubhouse and Golf Academy will complement the course, offering top-of-the-range facilities for residents and the local golfing community.

All areas designated for golf will be protected during all phases of construction and to ensure course sustainability, landscaping will be designed to maximise the use of recycled water for irrigation purposes.
