FINDING A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE HARD.
After 10 years, Award-Winning Ottawa Builder, -and Ark Homes is back in business.
Stop searching. Stop sitting in traffic. You’ll find what feeds your body and soul at Watercolour Westport. Watercolour is a walkable community where neighbours smile and wave. Homes have large, inviting front verandas and spacious lots. Trails, footbridges, sidewalks and homes are thoughtfully designed to create a greater connection with nature and community. And everything you need is nestled in a picture-perfect waterfront village.
BETTER LOCATION
Maybe you’re like one of our homeowners who escaped the GTA for a better lifestyle. Their family decided to quit the commute and get into a lifestyle that includes a five-minute walk to the beach. Lots of lakes to choose from for boating and swimming as Westport sits on the historic Rideau Waterway, between Upper Rideau Lake and Sand Lake.
Imagine a Saturday morning that starts with a stroll to breakfast in the village followed by an arts and crafts tour put on by local artisans. They’re common in the area. Or maybe it’s a winter day and time for a ski on the groomed trails at local Murphy’s Point Provincial Park.
Enjoy a gourmet pizza and a glass of wine for lunch at the winery which is literally across the street from Watercolour. Or walk downtown for coffee and browse through the quaint local stores before guests arrive for dinner in your spacious dining room. Perhaps there’s a good band playing in the village that night and an evening of live music would be the perfect ending to the day.
All walkable. Schools, arena, groceries, cafes, pharmacy, and brewery...no car required.
BETTER DESIGN
Stephen Rolston, founder of Land Ark Homes, wasn’t content to bring new homes to pristine cottage country without the highest level of environmental stewardship. The vast majority of the 286,000 new homes in Canada are being built to a building code from 2015. Of those new homes, only 900 are Net Zero Ready.
“We don’t believe in building homes that will soon be obsolete,” says Rolston. Every home at Watercolour Westport is Certified Net Zero Ready and fossil-fuel free. These high-performance homes are being built to a code that won’t be enforced until 2035.
Award-winning designs, trusted suppliers, and our exclusive selection process for construction teams means every Land Ark home is built to standards that exceed expectations and create beautiful places to live.
BETTER VALUE
“We have an outstanding team of experts and trades making this community possible,” says Rolston.
“Our standard features include designer finishes that other builders call upgrades. From exterior landscaping to quartz counters, every home in Watercolour is a masterpiece. We build homes people love that last for generations to come.”
Net Zero Ready homes are capable of producing as much clean energy as they consume when the homeowner chooses to add a renewable energy source like solar panels. Watercolour homes include the latest advances in building science and materials.
Mechanical systems are selected to enhance homeowner comfort and reduce energy consumption. Efficiency is the key to sustainability. Watercolour high-performance homes are sustainable and the peak of comfort and efficiency. In the end that is a better value!
