Auction FAQ – Grizzly Ridge Properties

Why an auction?
+

We believe the mountain lifestyle should be accessible – on your terms. This auction offers a modern, transparent way to secure land in two of the Columbia Valley’s most desirable communities.

While auctions are sometimes misunderstood, they’re widely used to present high-value offerings, like fine art, luxury vehicles and exclusive real estate. This approach reflects our commitment to long-term value, purposeful growth and meaningful buyer connections.

Why is there no reserve?
+

While there is no formal reserve, we retain the right to reject any final bid. This ensures we maintain the integrity of our communities and protect long-term real estate value. Every decision is made with our commitment to excellence, quality, and the best interest of existing and future residents in mind.

Will this auction lower the value of my property if I already live in CastleRock or Lake Windermere Estates?

Absolutely not. This is not a distressed or fire sale. These are carefully selected, premium parcels, thoughtfully released through a controlled, limited-time auction. The goal is to strengthen the community by attracting like-minded buyers who share our vision for long-term value, responsible development and lifestyle-driven investment.

The auction features two premium offerings, each designed to meet distinct lifestyle and investment goals:

1. CastleRock – The Park (Phase Three)

This release includes 24 fully serviced quarter-acre lots nestled around a vibrant new community park. These parcels are zoned for single-family residential use and are ideal for families, retirees, or those seeking a recreational getaway. The neighbourhood is thoughtfully designed for walkability and connection, with amenities including a soccer pitch, beach volleyball courts, picnic areas, a playground, and public washrooms. These lots come with a 5-year build commitment, allowing buyers time to plan their dream home while contributing to the community’s timely growth and vibrancy. All of this is just minutes from Lake Windermere and four-season adventure.

2. Lake Windermere Estates – Lakeview Acreages

This limited release includes just six expansive acreages ranging from 2.5 to 5 acres, each offering sweeping views of Lake Windermere and the Rocky Mountains. Zoned SH-2, these parcels allow for a primary residence plus a secondary dwelling—perfect for multigenerational living, guest houses, or future flexibility. There are no build-time restrictions, giving buyers the freedom to develop at their own pace. With unmatched privacy and proximity to the lake and downtown Invermere, these lots offer the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.

Can I build what I want?
+

Yes – with thoughtful guidelines that balance personal creativity with community character.

At CastleRock – The Park (Phase Three), architectural controls are in place to maintain a cohesive mountain-inspired design theme, helping preserve long-term value and visual harmony throughout the neighbourhood. While there is a defined style, homeowners still have room to personalize their design within the alpine aesthetic, ensuring every home feels unique but connected.

At Lake Windermere Estates, buyers enjoy greater architectural freedom while still being encouraged to build in harmony with the natural surroundings. Whether your vision is a modern retreat or a classic timber estate, these acreages offer the space and flexibility to create something truly your own—all while complementing the stunning landscape and community setting.
Both communities support thoughtful, well-designed homes that reflect the lifestyle and legacy you want to build.

Are there any hidden fees or taxes?
+

No speculation tax applies to these properties. Standard closing costs apply, as with any land sale.

What happens if I win?
+

The highest bidders will be contacted immediately after the auction. Sales will proceed under standard real estate terms, with full transparency and clear title.

Why is this a smart investment?
+

This is a rare, one-time release of premium land in two of British Columbia’s most sought-after mountain communities—offering the perfect blend of lifestyle appeal and long-term value. With limited inventory and no speculation tax, these properties provide exceptional flexibility, security, and investment potential.

For investors, it’s a strategic opportunity. Land in the Columbia Valley is finite, and demand continues to grow as more buyers seek lifestyle-rich alternatives to urban living. These are not mass-developed lots—they are intentionally curated to preserve community integrity and support lasting, high-quality growth. Each release reflects a commitment to sustainability, purpose-driven development, and protecting the character of the region for generations to come.
