Description

Unlock a rare opportunity to develop one of Fernie’s last large, fully serviced parcels—49 acres of gently sloping land with sweeping southeast views of the Lizard Range, Fernie Alpine Resort, and the Elk River. Located within the City of Fernie, a renowned four-season resort town in the Canadian Rockies, this development property is fully connected to municipal water, sewer, underground 3-phase power, cable, and telecom—stubbed to the parcel property line on Burma Road. Zoned RR (Rural Residential), with potential for multi-family or small-lot residential (RSS) zoning, the property offers exceptional flexibility for a boutique subdivision, a master-planned community, or an estate property, all within minutes of downtown Fernie. Adjacent to the established communities of Alpine Trails and Burma Road Estates, and just minutes from Fernie Alpine Resort and multiple outdoor recreation opportunities, the site is ideally positioned for both primary residences and vacation homes. With Koocanusa Lake 30 minutes away, Cranbrook Airport within an hour, and Calgary International Airport just three hours away, accessibility complements this site's natural beauty and investment appeal. As one of the last remaining large-scale, in-town parcels, this is a rare chance to shape the future of Fernie’s residential landscape in a high-demand market. (id:63159)
