Sound like something you’d find in the country? It may surprise you to know you can have all of this close to Calgary's city limits.

Enter Artesia at Heritage Pointe, a quiet, private community on Calgary’s south side. Artesia’s 137 acres of natural land offers a magnificent rural setting, weaving a fabric of nature and community. Designed to preserve the natural landscape, this effervescent community provides the idyllic location to plant your own unique roots.

Amenities

Artesia is certainly not short on amenities despite its rural-type setting. If you fancy yourself a bit of an athlete, you'll find tennis and basketball courts, golf courses, volleyball, and soccer areas nearby. In addition, two playgrounds, an open field, and a toboggan hill provide plenty of activity space for you and your family to enjoy.

This charming community boasts a short commute time to downtown Calgary and even includes its own Heritage Pointe Village Centre; complete with a gas station, car wash, restaurants, medical centres, salon and spa, and even a dance studio, among other shops.

Emergency services are also less than five minutes away, with Artesia’s own De Winton Fire Hall located close by. Police and paramedic services are in close proximity and can be quickly dispatched from Okotoks and High River.

Lot Types

The lots available in this desirable estate community include level lots, walkout lots, and what we call “sunshine basement” lots. A “sunshine basement” lot means there are much larger windows filling the lower level of the home with natural light and warmth rather than a walkout.

Lots are still available facing any direction you desire, from bright south and west-facing back yards to water amenities, natural spaces, and more.

This community offers the lowest density compared to any other community in Calgary. This means you have far more space, fewer neighbours, and more natural beauty all to yourself.

The land in here is stunning and virtually untouched, providing you one of the City’s most remarkable backdrops to your new home. Every single home backs onto green space, a water feature or amenity space, and all will claim executive-level countryside views.

Home Types

Artesia offers both villa-style homes and single-family homes. The homes in this community are built by a select group of Calgary’s finest, award-winning builders. The architectural style in this neighbourhood reflects that of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie-style elevations, which offer clean lines and lower profiles. Non-invasive to the rolling foothills, the look of these homes will create a refined setting against the nature of Southern Alberta.

Sustainability

One of Artesia’s most attractive features is that it offers one of the most innovative irrigation systems in Southern Alberta. This system collects and filters the community’s rainwater via bioswales, which is then used to irrigate homeowner lawns and gardens, as well as the community’s common areas.

The developer in the area, Heritage Pointe Properties, believes in the importance of water conservation and reducing our carbon footprint, and has developed this elaborate system in order to ensure the community remains beautiful, and noninvasive, for many years to come. A detailed diagram can be found on the Artesia website demonstrating how this water management system works.

Community Care Program

This unique estate community also features the Community Care Program. This program ensures the residents’ assets are protected, the Artesia lifestyle is preserved, and a standardized code of conduct is adhered to. To meet the needs of residents, the management team performs regular site inspections to safeguard the quality of this program.

Artesia’s Home Owners’ Association

The AHOA is in place to provide ongoing maintenance of pathways, landscaping, water features, community amenities, and the irrigation and water management system. A resident Board of Managers, whose purpose is to ensure the quality and integrity of your community for many years to come, manages this association.

If you're an executive or a young family looking for an uncompromising, striking estate community in which to build your next home, Artesia at Heritage Pointe may be the ideal location for you.
