Pre Construction

Slackcountry / Roberts Creek, BC

Intentionally Designed Basecamps for Adventure

Slackcountry Real Estate is completing preliminary assessment to validate the opportunity, define capital requirements, and inform the path forward.

The Opportunity

Slackcountry Resorts is exploring the development of a 10-acre recreational property near Roberts Creek on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Conveniently located approximately 15 minutes from both Gibsons and Sechelt, the property offers access to the Sunshine Coast’s communities and outdoor recreation while remaining within reach of Metro Vancouver.

The Sunshine Coast is a well-established vacation destination, known for its mountain biking, hiking, coastal culture, local restaurants, and year-round outdoor lifestyle.

the property provides a strong starting point for development, with power available at the lot line and an existing well and septic system.

The concept is centred around a communal basecamp featuring private studio suites, complemented by a shared commercial style-kitchen, dining area, and lounge. The property will also stand-alone one-bedroom and two-bedroom cabins. Outdoor amenities are envisioned to include a fitness area, hot tub, fire pits, and spaces designed for gathering, relaxing, and connecting after a day of adventure.

Together, the location, existing infrastructure, and resort concept create an opportunity to establish a intentionally build basecamp for adventure on the Sunshine Coast.

Key Drivers

Slackcountry Resorts are basecamps designed for adventure—offering private accommodations, shared spaces that encourage connection, and thoughtfully designed experiences that bring people together.

  • The resort is envisioned around a self-service model, creating a independent experiecne while keeping support easily accessible.

    Guests will manage their own check-in, check-out, and basic clean up supported by an easy-to-use app designed to make the entire stay simple and seamless. The app will also provide a direct line of communication with a resident manger whenever assistance is needed.

    Rather than relying on full-time on-site staff, the concept is build around trust, independence, and shared responsibility.

  • The resort is envisioned to offer the best of both worlds; the comfort and privacy of your own accommodation, with shared spaces that create opportunities for connection.

    Guests would have access to thoughtfully designed communal amenities, including a commercial-style kitchen, shared lounges, and outdoor gathering spaces.

    The concept allows visitors to choose their own rhythm, retreat in private space when they want solitude, or step into shared spaces to cook, gather, relax and connect with others.

  • Every element is thoughtfull designed to create a basecamp for adventure, a place that makes it easy to explore, connect, and recharge.

    From comfortable private accommodations and shared spaces that bring people together to a dedicated kids’ bike park where young riders can play, learn, and build confidence, the resort is envisioned with the whole family in mind.

    Thoughtful by design. Adventurous by nature, built to bring people together.
