Golf · Lake · Piped · Five Minutes South of the City
A master-planned hamlet built around 27 holes of golf and one very exclusive lake, sitting just past Calgary's southern boundary. Around 14 listings are active at a time, averaging $2.06 million — and every one of them comes with something no other Foothills community can offer: taps and drains the county's well owners can only dream about.
Browse by sub-area
Heritage Pointe was master-planned in phases starting in the mid-1990s, and each phase grew its own identity, price band and homeowners association. Whether your budget says villa or lakefront showpiece, the trick is knowing which of the four sub-areas matches it — so here they are, decoded.
The signature address — homes ringed around a private man-made lake with a residents' beach and boating rights, which is not a sentence you get to write about many communities south of Calgary. Lake access rarely changes hands, and when it does, resale values behave like the blue-chip stock they are.
Roughly $1.3M–$4M
Where the houses and the fairways share property lines. The Ridge went up through the 2000s on lots backing the golf course, so the rear windows frame mowed green instead of a neighbour's fence — and the occasional wayward drive keeps homeowners honest about where they park.
Typically $1.2M–$2.5M
The most attainable door into the community — smaller lots and villa-style homes that trade yard size for the same golf-club setting, piped services and postal code as the seven-figure showpieces up the road. Downsizers and first-time Heritage Pointe buyers meet in the middle here.
About $900K–$1.4M
The community's still-growing luxury chapter, building since 2013 under architectural controls that keep every streetscape singing from the same sheet. Around five listings are active at a time, from new builds in the $1.68 to $1.70 million range up to a $3.98 million top end — the only place in Heritage Pointe where the construction fences are a feature, not a flaw.

The Heritage Pointe file
Everywhere else in Foothills County, buying an acreage means becoming your own utility manager — well pump, pressure tank, septic field, the works. Heritage Pointe skipped that chapter entirely: piped water and wastewater serve the whole hamlet, a service arrangement essentially unheard of in the county's rural residential inventory. For buyers who love the idea of estate living but glaze over at the phrase "flow-rate test," this one detail is often the deciding vote.
The community literally wraps around the Heritage Pointe Golf Club — 27 holes threaded between the sub-areas, giving the hamlet its green spine and half its property lines. You don't have to swing a club to benefit; the course guarantees that a large share of homes back onto protected, groomed open space that can never sprout a rooftop.
The original phases have been finished since the community's mid-1990s beginnings matured, which means the trees are grown, the streetscapes are settled and supply is capped at what already exists. Artesia is the lone exception still adding homes. Mature-plus-scarce is a friendly recipe for owners: with only about 14 listings active at a time, well-priced homes here don't need to advertise twice.
Heritage Pointe's homeowners associations run per sub-area, not hamlet-wide — The Lake's fees buy the beach and boating privileges, while The Ridge, The Hamlet and Artesia each fund their own entrances, landscaping and standards. Two consequences for buyers: compare fee schedules between sub-areas as carefully as you compare kitchens, and read the specific association's documents for the address you're chasing, because the rules genuinely differ from one street to the next.
The hamlet's next act is already on paper. Heritage Crossing, with its area structure plan approved in 2024, and Heritage Estates, following in 2025, are both slated to rise on the lands south of Dunbow Road — the first meaningful additions to the Heritage Pointe map in a decade. Neither has homes to show yet, but buyers thinking two or three years ahead should keep both names bookmarked; fresh supply next door tends to reshuffle every price band in a community this small.
Good questions
Does Heritage Pointe really have piped water and sewer?
It does — and in Foothills County that makes it a unicorn. While the rest of the county's acreage communities run on private wells and septic fields, Heritage Pointe homes connect to piped water and wastewater utilities, so there are no flow tests to order, no tank to pump and no well report to decode. Buyers coming from Calgary get the country setting without adopting any of the country plumbing homework.
Should I buy in The Lake or one of the golf sub-areas?
It depends which amenity you'll actually use on a Tuesday. The Lake at Heritage Pointe surrounds a private man-made lake with a beach and boating, and its blue-chip resale record reflects how rarely lake privileges come up for sale south of Calgary — expect roughly $1.3 million to $4 million. The Ridge backs onto the golf course itself, with 2000s-era homes typically between $1.2 million and $2.5 million, while Artesia offers the newest luxury builds. Water families choose The Lake; fairway families choose The Ridge; new-build families choose Artesia.
How do HOA fees work in Heritage Pointe?
Each sub-area carries its own homeowners association, so fees and inclusions differ depending on where you buy — The Lake's dues fund the private lake, beach and residents' amenities, while The Ridge, The Hamlet and Artesia each maintain their own structures for entrance features, landscaping and community standards. Before writing an offer, ask for that specific sub-area's HOA fee schedule, budget and rules rather than assuming one community-wide number covers everything.
