Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just 35 minutes west of Calgary, the community offers residents plenty of opportunities for recreational fun, from water skiing and sailing to fishing, swimming and more.

 

What to love

This custom-built home exudes cottage charm, both inside and out. On the outside, the home features a pergola-covered porch, white trim and expansive windows that let in the light. Inside, the great room boasts a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace and a glass wall with sweeping views of the lake.
