Far from ordinary
Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Wildstone community provides a sense of harmony between the wildness of nature and the comforts of a resort lifestyle like no other.

Situated just outside Cranbrook, B.C., the 900-acre Wildstone community will be more than 2,500 homes, comprised of a diverse variety of accommodation and living opportunities; from single-family homes, side-by-side villas, townhomes, multi-family homes, condominiums, and more. As well, the Gary Player Group has partnered with Wildstone to develop branded Player communities within the resort, including the future Gary Player Luxury Cabins and Gary Player Estate homes.

At the heart of the community, The Village at Wildstone will be culturally vibrant and exude a small-town charm; embracing all the opportunities of the region’s four-season climate. The Village will play host to a true pedestrian experience and, at build out, will include an inviting variety of cafés, patios, boutique shops, festivals, restaurants and galleries.

The Clubhouse at Wildstone will offer a full array of service amenities such as gourmet dining, shopping, spa and fitness facilities. In addition, plans are underway for the first Gary Player Golf Academy and Gary Player Wellness Centre outside of South Africa.

The region is undergoing a dramatic economic boom that has seen the growth of many new modern amenities; the Canadian Rockies International Airport, the College of the Rockies (with which Wildstone will host an exclusive strategic alliance), and state-of-the-art health care facilities are all within minutes of Wildstone.
