Set just outside northern city limits, at the intersection of Highway 1A and Woodland Road in Rocky View County, this 64-hectare country estate community — with six hectares of streams and ponds and more than four kilometres of walking trails — will consist of 52 homes at build-out. Lots measuring .8 to 1.2 hectares — all with unobstructed views of the Rocky Mountains — begin around $430,000. Lot and house prices start closer to $1.25 million.

Contributing to the buzz around the new community is the presence of four of Calgary’s most established estate and custom home builders, including McKinley Masters, Astoria Homes, Laratta Homes and Hyatt Homes. Several homes are currently under construction, including a show home from Astoria, and more are slated to break ground soon.

For now, the Info Centre is open Monday – Thursday 1 to 5 p.m., weekends and holidays 12 – 5 p.m. Or visit http://www.willowcreekatbearspaw.com.
