Owning a lot here
Each lot is a unit in Winnipeg Condominium Corporation No. 882. You own the lot itself, and share with the other owners in the private roads and common areas. The condominium fee is about $300 a year and covers road upkeep, snow removal and mowing of the common areas. Property tax on an undeveloped lot is about $300 a year. Both figures change once a house is built and assessed.
The roads are open all year and are cleared after snowfall, which also matters for deliveries and trades while you build.
Under the condominium declaration, a unit is to be used as a private single-family dwelling, and nothing can be built on a lot without the board's prior written consent, which requires the full plans and the building, electrical and plumbing permits. Your lawyer reviews the declaration and by-laws with you before you are committed; I will send you the documents in advance.
Building on a lot
As a guide, a basic 1,000 sq ft cottage on a crawl space starts at about $160,000 for materials and labour. Water, wastewater, the driveway and electrical service are on top of that and depend on the lot, so they are priced only after a site review, and where needed a well test. The lot price is separate again.
If you want help with the build, Lightus Design can prepare a written proposal for your lot and house. Lightus Design is my own contracting business; using it is your choice, under a separate contract from the lot purchase, and buying a lot does not require it.
A finished house in the development
If you would rather not build, Gable 41 at 41 Jesse's Trail is a four-season A-frame cottage built in 2025: 2,067 sq ft, three bedrooms plus a loft, an indoor sauna and a hot tub, at $749,900. The seller is a REALTOR® with eXp Realty and has an interest in this property.
Location
