"BEWDLEY, ONT.–A resort that began as a simple fishing camp on Rice Lake in the 1940s is slated for a $300 million redevelopment into a deluxe, four-season facility with condo hotel units, full-ownership cottages and fractional ownership resort homes.
The plan for Golden Beach Resort, which sits on the south shore of the lake in Northumberland County, about a 90-minute drive east of Toronto, also calls for construction of an 18-hole golf course, a Victorian-inspired village with boutiques and cafes, a snow tubing hill and an equestrian centre." ....
"It currently has 300 seasonal trailer sites, 57 rental waterfront cottages, resort homes for sale, a restaurant, conference centre and 350-slip harbour.
Lang said the redevelopment plan, one of the largest of its kind in Ontario, was sparked by the need to adapt to the marketplace and respond to changing demographics. The redevelopment will echo a trend set by other Ontario resorts such as the Village at Blue Mountain and Red Leaves in Muskoka." .....
"The Golden Beach plan was developed with Sean Kelly of Stempski Kelly Associates Inc. of Guelph, one of the top resort planners in North America, who has been a consultant for resorts across North America, including several by Intrawest.
The redevelopment plan will take 10 to 15 years, says Le Marchant, with the first phase to be launched within the next 12 to 18 months, including condo hotel suites, full ownership seasonal cottages and fractional ownership resort homes." .....
