Cabot Wilds: Nova Scotia’s New Luxury Retreat
Cabot, a prominent developer of elite golf and resort destinations, has unveiled plans for
Cabot Wilds, an expansive 2,500-acre luxury lifestyle and golf resort in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Anticipated to open in late 2027, this stunning new development promises to redefine leisure and indulgence in one of Canada’s most beautiful landscapes.
A Visionary Partnership
The project is being brought to life through a collaboration with John Bragg and his family, notable Canadian entrepreneurs with a rich history in sustainable agriculture. The Bragg family, founders of Oxford Frozen Foods, is committed to blending world-class recreational offerings with a deep respect for the natural environment. The partnership aims to leverage Cabot’s extensive expertise in hospitality and golf management to create an extraordinary destination that reflects local culture and values.
Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot, noted, “We are excited to partner with John Bragg, whose vision aligns seamlessly with ours.
Cabot Wilds is set to celebrate this striking corner of Nova Scotia, merging wellness, sustainability, and the joy of community through world-class experiences.”
Embracing Nature and Luxury
Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Cobequid Mountains,
Cabot Wilds will highlight the tranquil charm of Collingwood Corner, celebrated as the ‘wild blueberry capital of Canada.’ The resort is designed to foster a deep-rooted connection with the land, incorporating stunning natural features into its layout. The centerpiece will be an 18-hole golf course, skillfully crafted by esteemed architect Jeff Mingay, known for his work on several award-winning layouts across North America. The course is poised to offer golfers unparalleled views of lush landscapes and the meandering River Philip, making for a truly immersive golfing experience.
The resort’s design philosophy emphasizes thoughtful integration with its natural surroundings through the artistry of renowned community planner Hart Howerton. Future visitors can expect accommodations that include thoughtfully-designed cottages featuring modern amenities while maintaining a warm, rustic aesthetic. Each residence will offer ample living space including cozy fireplaces and expansive porches that enhance outdoor living.
Unmatched Amenities and Experiences
Beyond golf,
Cabot Wilds intends to create a multifaceted environment that promotes relaxation and exploration. The clubhouse will be a blend of classic elegance and rural comfort, housing various dining options, a pro shop, and wellness facilities designed to support rejuvenation and mindfulness. Culinary offerings will showcase local seafood and produce, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural heritage.
Enthusiasts of outdoor activities will delight in the myriad experiences available, including fishing, hiking, and biking in the surrounding maple forests and blueberry fields. Seasonal offerings will elevate the visitor experience, with autumn colors and winter sports beckoning adventure seekers. The resort will also feature snowmobile trails, trail systems for mountain biking, and guided fishing tours for salmon aficionados.
Cabot has already established a commitment to sustainability across all its destinations.
Cabot Wilds will be enrolled in Audubon International’s Platinum Signature Sanctuary program, ensuring that environmental conservation remains central to all operations and developments.
Looking to the Future
As
Cabot Wilds prepares to take its place among Nova Scotia’s premier destinations, it reflects a harmonious blend of golf, nature, and community spirit. The project stands as a testament to Cabot’s dedication to quality and sustainability, aiming to create a legacy that future generations will cherish.
