Cabot has announed Cabot Wilds, an enchanting new 2,500-acre golf resort destination coming to the rolling hills of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia in late 2027.
Developed in partnership with visionary Canadian businessman John Bragg and his family — founders of Oxford Frozen Foods, the world’s largest wild blueberry farming operation — Cabot Wilds reflects a shared commitment to innovation, wellness and sustainability.
“We are honoured to work with John Bragg and his family to bring Cabot Wilds to life and shine a light on this beautiful corner of Nova Scotia,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. “I consider John to be one of the greatest Canadian entrepreneurs of our time, and beyond being a valued long-time partner, he has been an amazing friend and mentor to me. We are thrilled to see him take a more prominent role across Cabot’s portfolio as we shape the brand’s future.”
Nestled in the tranquil foothills of the Cobequid Mountains, Cabot Wilds is located in the charming community of Collingwood Corner, just outside of Oxford, recognized as the “wild blueberry capital of Canada.”
Celebrating the beauty of inland Nova Scotia through world-class golf, thoughtful design by renowned community master planner Hart Howerton, exceptional hospitality and an authentic connection to place, the all-season resort destination will feature an 18-hole golf course designed by Jeff Mingay, along with a clubhouse, dining experiences, recreation pavilion, racquet sports facilities and residential real estate. A curated collection of outdoor experiences will immerse guests in the surrounding maple forests, wild blueberry fields and salmon-rich River Philip.
“This land has always been a treasured place for my family and it’s incredibly meaningful to now share this special part of Nova Scotia with the world.” said John Bragg. “Cabot is a great partner to help us create a world-class golf resort, as we share common values of providing something meaningful to the communities in which we’re based, while serving as stewards of the land we call home.“
