Highland Woods is a new estate lot subdivision nestled on the lower slopes of the spectacular Fairmont Mountain, just above the Fairmont Golf Course. Ideally located in close proximity to Fairmont Hot Springs and the diverse recreational offerings of the Columbia Valley, the community provides year-round access to an unparalleled lifestyle — from golf, alpine and cross-country skiing, and mountain biking, to boating, fishing, and horseback riding. This unique setting invites residents to live immersed in the natural rhythm of the mountains, surrounded by sweeping vistas and rich outdoor experiences.

The site plan is thoughtfully crafted to respond to the mountain terrain and context, carefully integrating natural elements such as nearby creeks, mature forests, and panoramic views of both the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. The landscape design enhances the connection between residents and the surrounding wilderness through trails, open green spaces, and outdoor recreation areas that support biking, hiking, and exploration. Environmental stewardship is a guiding principle, with a focus on sustainable planting strategies, native and drought-tolerant vegetation, and integrated stormwater management systems that protect the natural landscape and support ecological health. Highland Woods is a place where refined living and rugged beauty come together — offering an inspired mountain lifestyle rooted in nature.
