Overview

This is your opportunity to join Manitobans on their annual pilgrimage to our pristine lake country, to experience first hand the cottaging experience.     For over 30 years Lake Manitoba Narrows has been the choice for families from all over to enjoy sunshine, water, campfires and an all around fun experience.   We are now proud to announce our latest project, the development of the area’s West Shore!  Directly across from the Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge, only about 0.5 km away, we are developing the west shore into 330 cottage lots with an 18-hole golf course.   Of these 330 cottage lots, 55 will be lakefront, 19 will have a view of the lake while being on the golf course, 91 will surround the golf course, and the remaining 165 will be large, treed, back lots.   These will be large beautiful lots approximately an acre in size.   I can say with confidence that I truly believe that these will be some of the most beautiful cottage lots in the province!    Because we want to see our beautiful area stay healthy, it is our intention to donate a percentage of all of the revenue created from this sub-division to charity.   One non-profit organization which we strongly support is the Lake Manitoba Narrows Game and Fish Association whose mandate to protect and maintain the wildlife, game, and natural beauty of our area.    We will also be donating a percentage of our sales to the “Firefighters Burn Fund”.
Cottaging is a valued tradition in Manitoba that contributes to the overall high quality of life for the citizens of the province. This new cottage development can provide your family the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful landscapes that exist at Lake Manitoba Narrows.   The breathtaking spectacle of a Manitoba sunset and the unparalleled serenity that defines Manitoba lake country, may be yours to experience from your own new cottage lot.   Imagine a place where you could take your family year-round to rejuvenate and relax, to enjoy quality time with one another.  A place where you know your kids will want to return to year after year, a place you will want to return year after year. That place is here at Manitoba’s newest cottage development, the Narrows West Shore Development.
Adjacent to this new development is the Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge.  Nestled on the east shore overlooking the new cottage development, this modern resort will comfortably accommodate up to 150 persons in a variety of setups. Fully equipped with all the modern meeting room accessories, it is sure to meet and exceed your needs for retreats, training seminars, or workshops. The meeting rooms combine first class catering services with absolute privacy for your meeting.   The Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge is the proud recipient of many of the industry's top awards and strives each day to continue that tradition. The Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge Resort and Conference Center has attracted guests to this area for over 30 years. As you drive through the area, it is evident what has attracted these guests.

Getting There

The subdivision is located about 190km northwest of Winnipeg on Lake Manitoba.  From Winnipeg take PTH 6 approximately 130km, then go west on paved highway PTH 68 roughly 60km to Lake Manitoba Narrows.    From downtown Winnipeg, the Lake Manitoba Narrows is approximately a 2 hour drive.  Construction of the access road into the subdivision will commence early in the upcoming year.

Area Description

The Rural Municipality of Alonsa is located in north central Manitoba, straddling Lake Manitoba along the full length of its eastern border.  Blessed with Lake Manitoba along its eastern border, the municipality can offer the lovely Lake Manitoba Narrows with its natural beauty as a place to either live or spend your recreational time all year.   Lake Manitoba provides a diverse fishery that commonly produces walleye, sauger, northern pike, whitefish, burbot and perch.  Lake Manitoba is a large hour-glass shaped lake, about 200km long.  With the east and west shore being so close (approximately 0.5 km apart), the water is mostly sheltered from large waves while at the same time very clean because of the flowing water.   The lake is a shallow lake with an average depth of approximately 30 feet.   These shallow waters tend to stay very warm in the summer which is wonderful for swimming and boating.    When the water is cool in the spring and fall, the walleye and sauger fishing is spectacular.   In the winter, the ice-fishing is tremendous.  There are also plenty of groomed trails in the area for snow-mobiling and cross country skiing.   The area is also renowned for providing some of the best waterfowl, whitetail deer, and bear hunting in the world.  The Narrows of Lake Manitoba is considered by many as a sportsman’s playground.   With the flat land and abundance of beautiful shoreline, the area is referred to as “Manitoba’s Sunset Coast”.  It is an undiscovered paradise! 

Location & Description of Subdivision

Pricing schedule

The next price increase will be on June 1st, 2008 where the price will increase by 10%. Prices will continue to increase by 10% every 4 months following the March 1st price increase until all of the lots are sold. Like our previous sub-division, we first look at what everyone else is charging for their properties and create a drastically low price. We then keep increasing the price of the lots until we eventually are at the same prices as everyone else.

Purchase Finance Option

These lots are available on lease purchase as well as on a cash sale basis. This is an ideal option for people who do not wish to pay for their purchase in one lump sum. We offer the following terms on land sold in this manner -

• A deposit (down payment) of 25% is required on each lot financed.
• A competitive annual interest rate of 3.9% will be charged on the balance.
• If a buyer wishes to take more than one lot, we will finance the balance of both lots (or as many as the buyer purchases) at 0%
• Lot purchases shall be financed for the term of three years.
• The financing can be paid off early after the first full year at no penalty.
• Building work can take place on site at any time during the finance period.
• All purchases will have 5% G.S.T. added to the price
• The buyer will be responsible for the land taxes from the start of the purchase finance agreement
• Titles will be transferred to the property owner no sooner than July 1st, 2008

Once the final payment has been made the deeds for the lot will be transferred in to your name. All the necessary legal documentation will be drawn up by Taylor McCaffrey Law firm in Winnipeg Manitoba. 
The favored method of payment for each monthly installment is in the form of 36 post dated cheques. These can be sent all together at the start of the agreement, or in three batches of 12 at yearly intervals.
