The PVE Advantage

"I've been selling real estate for 11 years and have had the opportunity to see the markets change. Ten years ago everyone wanted lake property, but couldn't find what they were looking for. Most of the time they settled for something they weren't exactly looking for. Now PVE comes along and ten years ago this is what everyone wanted - an estate, lakefront development. In my experience this is where the real estate investment lies. Ten years from now there is going to be a lot of people wishing they had bought when they had the opportunity."

  • What is the shoreline/lakefront like?
    When you visit, you'll notice our natural shoreline has been beautifully maintained. Fine sandy banks have been partially unearthed by wave action. Human activity on the waterfront will likely see more sand being exposed as time goes by. The smooth sandy bottom with a slow natural grade is great for family swimming and long afternoons on one of our 4 groomed beaches. A red shale path now extends across our lake front shoreline connecting us to neighboring Pelican Point for all to use and enjoy. This path also is perfect for winter snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

  • Is there anything else we should know?
    Lake living isnt just one season! PVE is designed for four season, year-round living. While spending long, sun-filled summer days on the lake is a highlight, the lake and PVE is also enjoyed in all four seasons. Fall brings some amazing morning sunrises and lovely calm days, great for evening walks down lakefront path or a evening campfire by the beach. Fall also is a highlight for the hunters as the area is good for both big game and birds. Winter in the Buffalo Lake area often sees a good amount of snow perfect for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and some good snowball fun! The ice on the lake allows for a long season of ice fishing, hockey and skating.
