THE eastern province of New Brunswick is often referred to as the gateway to Atlantic Canada. A new five-star development, launched to the Irish market last week, also offers the gateway to the sort of healthy, outdoors-y lifestyle with which this part of the world is synonymous. Quintessential Resort, created by Silver Maple Developments, comprises three- and four-bed homes within a landscaped site that includes a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course as well as a Sports Village.
The emphasis here is very much on fun and leisure, and while a 200,000sq ft conference centre forms part of the development, there is also a swimming pool, soccer pitches, tennis courts, basketball court, running track and a host of activities to help owners unwind. A big attraction for those who really want to relax, after dropping the kids off at the on-site creche, is the Conceptual Earth and Sea Spa.
As selling agent, Ann Collins Property Ltd, says there is a big emphasis here is on investing in a healthy lifestyle as much as buying into a fivestar overseas resort.
Launch price of the properties is Euro425,000 with completions set at six months from start date.
New Brunswick borders the upmarket state of Maine, USA, and is known as the 'Picture Province'. After the famine, when many Irish emigrated to Canada, almost half the population of Saint John, the province's largest city, was Irish. Saint John retains that strong Irish heritage with a week-long celebration around St Patrick's Day.
