These days, home and community mean everything. They are our safe harbour and shelter from the storm. La Vita Land, the developer of Fireside of Cochrane, strives every day to deepen the connection between home and community and to deepen this connection with its residents.
The Fireside neighbourhood, on the west side of Hwy. 22, has been under development since 2010. La Vita Land has ensured Fireside has every amenity that new home buyers want in a community, and more. This includes everything from preserved natural spaces, walking trails and views, to a school, shopping and playgrounds. It also features a variety of home types, including townhomes for first-time buyers and move-up homes on larger amenity lots.
Phase 6 of Fireside, which was released in 2018, marked the first release of estate-sized lots in the community. At widths of 38 feet to 44 feet, the lots are wide enough for two-storey front-drive homes with double- or triple-car garages, as well as bungalows with double-attached garages. Two pie-shaped lots, adjacent to a brand new park and preserved wetland, are among the available homesites in this phase.
Pam Goldfeldt, marketing manager for La Vita Land, says the size and location of the lots in Phase 6 is unique.
“We won’t have homesites like this again for quite a few years in Fireside. This is an opportunity for a buyer to move up to a larger home on a much larger lot,” she explains.
The builder group in Fireside consists of Calbridge Homes, Janssen Homes and NuVista Homes, which are building home styles in all price points.

All three builders in the community have front-drive floor plans, specifically for the distinctive lots in Phase 6 starting in the low $500,000s — a price point that compares favourably with a similar house and lot in the city.
While larger homesites are available in Phase 6, there are many prime options for street towns, duplexes, laned and move-up homes in Fireside, with prices starting in the low $300,000s.
Calbridge’s Vantage townhomes in Fireside have bungalow and two- and three-storey units priced from the $190,000s.
Clearbrook Meadows of Fireside offers bungalow villas by Calbridge Homes. This exclusive 28-home enclave offers a low-maintenance lifestyle, perfect for downsizers, and start in the mid-$400,000s.
“Interest rates are virtually at a record low, creating a fantastic opportunity to get into a new home,” Goldfeldt says. “Whether someone is upsizing or downsizing, there is a great variety of product and prices to truly suit anybody.”
As getting out to walk is vital in these times of physical distancing, Fireside’s 13 hectares (32 acres) of parks and pathways make it easy to find the space you need to enjoy the outdoors. As well, a new park with community garden plots, where residents can grow their own food, is scheduled to open this summer.
Fireside School, a K-8 public facility, is within walking distance of every residence and a high school is located in the next community over. The local commercial plaza, The Embers, has a new pub, pizza restaurant and café, a gas station and select services for residents.
Vibrant downtown Cochrane is just down the hill from Fireside with local shopping, a community health centre and town services.
As the builder group in Fireside promotes its products online or works with new home buyers on a personal, one-on-one basis, La Vita Land ambitiously plans for the future of Fireside.
“We will have new show homes this fall, being built as we speak. It’s full steam ahead and we’re excited to watch them take shape,” says Goldfeldt.
