Escape To the Escarpment on 86 acres of stunning natural splendour,
overlooking the Big Head Valley in Grey County, Ontario
A Rare Opportunity, Years in the Making.
Bubble Grove is more than 86 acres of beautiful land.
It is the product of five years of intensive planning, research, advocacy, design, development work and relentless problem-solving - work that ultimately secured the recognition of the property’s historic commercial use and created a clear path forward for its next chapter.
We learned this land from the ground up.
And fought for it.
Thousands of hours have been invested studying the planning framework, working through the Niagara Escarpment Commission process, navigating the Ontario Land Tribunal, commissioning and writing professional reports, uncovering evidence, engaging relationships across government and industry, designing the project for people + place + planet, tending the land & orchards, building trails, opening Sky Camp, and assembling the foundation for something genuinely distinctive.
Now, Bubble Grove is available for its next evolution.
The land, history, infrastructure, planning work and vision are already here.
The next iteration is ready to be written.
We are exploring opportunities for an investment or strategic partnership to continue to champion the business we have developed, OR a Full Sale to a new group ready to head the land into its next chapter.
