Or at least, own your own view of the Rocky Mountains. And the Monashee Range. Not to mention the Cariboo Mountains. Unless it's a cloudy day, you can't look up in Valemount and not see mountains.
Basically, if mountains are your thing, this is your place. From fresh air and unspoiled grandeur to the thrill of tackling extreme sports in front of a mighty backdrop, Valemount and its surroundings will take your breath away.
This charming little village sits in a valley on the eastern edge of British Columbia, Canada's western-most province and proud host of the 2010 Winter Olympics. You can find it off Highway 5, approximately one hour west of Jasper National Park, and just steps outside Mount Robson Provincial Park, home to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
From all indications, Valemount is on the cusp of a growth spurt. Investing in mountain resort properties has huge potential! British Columbia real estate investments are highly sought after by Canadians, and it is growing in popularity with overseas investors in Britain and the rest of Europe. With the upcoming exposure offered by the 2010 Winter Olympics, this province is going to be on the world-wide stage in more ways than one. Individuals looking to get in on the ground floor of the "next big opportunity" (think Canmore without the stress and rush of a metropolis at its doorsteps) should seriously consider what this place has to offer... and grab while the grabbing is still good.
As evidence of the fact that growth is expected and is indeed around the corner, the BC government announced in October 2007 that Valemount is the latest community to participate in a Resort Municipality Revenue Sharing Agreement that will see a portion of hotel room tax revenues being invested in local projects. On top of that, in the summer of 2008, both the provincial and federal governments announced that additional funds will be made available to assist with downtown beautification and local road improvements in Valemount.

The other objective of this website is to market the Valemountain Vistas project. This is a planned 12-unit townhouse complex in the heart of the village (along 6th Avenue) — definitely the first of its kind in Valemount. Once development is underway, this space will be used to communicate project status to investors.
If you're interested in getting in on the ground floor of this exciting development, contact us to be put on a priority mailing list. For floor plans and other information, click on this link: Valemountain Vistas.
