Our inspiration for The Stages goes back to 1905, when families used to use this area for their seasonal fishing stages in the summer months.  This small community of summer shanties on stilts, served as a place to eat and sleep during the age of sail out on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Today,  a compelling residential development within Blackbush Resort called “The Stages” is a 42 lot neighborhood offering a rare opportunity for ownership at one of Atlantic Canada’s premier beach communities.  Parcel Lots will start at $350,000 with residence built separately. Parcel Lot includes elevated grading for site footprint, sewer, water, and driveway culvert installation. The development is protected by covenants that ensure your time here is relaxing and fulfilling. The lots are being sold with 4 standard home models but for those wishing to join our custom-built home program, it will be provided & offered for an additional fee.

Having the opportunity to revitalize this historical area and bring it back to its once thriving wharf community, is an honorable gesture and undertaking to extend the legacy of Old Tracadie Harbour.  What makes this development attractive is the opportunity for family to be near urban amenities but at the same time have a small town beach community vibe, also leveraging the nearby resort and fish market for potential employment opportunities for youth.  

The Commons at Blackbush are a series of modern beach cottages that are strategically located near the Blackbush hotel; access to the hotel amenities can be reached via walking trail. All the vacation units will have unobstructed views of the grand dunes and ocean and a convenient walk to FiN Restaurant or Tracadie Beach.

The Commons Development won’t be made available to the public until after its been offered through the Hotel and Resort as vacation rentals (hotel rental units expected for first 5 years ) then after that time period, the tentative plan is to offer those vacation rental units into the open market for sale, as a fractional ownership product. It is a great opportunity for those looking for a vacation home that is privately managed by Blackbush’s rental program.  This turn-key solution makes vacationing easy and earning income while you aren’t there even easier.

These income producing properties will be offering premium services and amenities to provide all comforts for owners and guests on site, as well as rental marketing and year-round property management.  A dedicated team will oversee the front-end service provision as well as the back-end business management services.

The Homesteads of Blackbush is located just down the road from The Stages Community, adjacent to Watts Road and National Park area.
The residential properties within the Homesteads will all be built and featured as passive design homes.

A passive house is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, which reduces the building’s ecological footprint.
It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. 

Living in a passive house means living in a space that is naturally warmer, healthier and more comfortable. This comfort inside
your home is unmatched because of the way energy efficiency solutions are integrated into the architectural design.
