Redwood Meadows Real Estate

Redwood Meadows primarily consists of single-family homes on spacious lots, offering a variety of architectural styles, from classic chalet-style homes and bungalows to more modern and open-concept designs.

All properties in Redwood Meadows are leasehold, meaning homeowners lease the land from the Tsuu T’ina Nation, typically with 75-year renewable lease terms. This setup allows for ownership of the home itself, but not the land. Lease fees are generally used to maintain the community’s infrastructure, parks, and amenities.

Homes in Redwood Meadows tend to be more affordable than comparable properties in nearby areas like Bragg Creek, as the leasehold arrangement typically results in lower purchase prices for homes. Buyers often see this as a unique opportunity to own a spacious, single-family home in a scenic area at a lower price point.
