Luxurious Cougar Mountain Lodge B&B In Rocky Mountains For Sale

Business description

Cougar Mountain Lodge is an expansive 4600 square foot, five bedroom log home set on five acres of prime and pristine mountain property. The lodge was entirely rebuilt in 2006 so the entire main building and contents is less than 3 years old and is located five kilometers north of the town of Valemount on a very private lot with direct access to the main highway. This incredible property offers direct acces to Canada's finest river rafting, hiking, snowmobiling, cat-skiing and heli-skiing.

The current business focus has been the winter snowmobiling tourism with very little emphasis on the summer marketing. This creates an enormous potential for growth of income in the summer months with B&B traffic. As well, the property has the zoning for and is large enough to add small cabins or a camping facility. When the lodge was rebuilt enough power was installed to allow for this expansion also. Because it is only 120km from Jasper and much more affordable for both residents and tourists, Valemount is growing very quickly in popularity as a destination and not just a stop-over. The village is currently undergoing extensive infrastructure and esthetic improvements to facilitate this growth in tourism.

Outside amenities include: Front (west) covered veranda, rear (east) open deck with lower slate patio and hot tub overlooking 4 log raised garden beds and raspberry patch, 24x24 foot shop prepped for hot water heat and currently used as a storage facility as well as a work shop, a large well-landscaped firepit area, excess parking including a double attached garage and beautiful landscaping designed for easy maintenance and peaceful esthetics. The acreage is home to many species of migratory birds who nest and return with their families annually.

Indoor amenities include: 18 foot ceiling in great room with 6 skylights, a large kitchen with lots of cupboard space as well as an inlaid Jennair stovetop, grill and griddle in the island, 4 large guest rooms (2 on each floor) with 1 large bathroom on each guest floor, 600 square foot basement containing laundry, furnaces, 2 hot water tanks and winter equipment drying area. The owner/host suite is opposite the guest wing with a large bedroom, bathroom as well as an office area and a living room with a full wet bar suitable for a small kitchen. Other amenities include wireless internet as well as full satelite television and music.

Cougar Mountian lodge is a successful tourism business in operation since 2002, prior to being rebuilt in 2006. Sale of the property also includes one-third partnership in THE BIG RIDE, which is a snowmobile tour company marketing to Eastern Canada and Europe.
