PRIDDIS

Priddis is located about 15 - 20 minutes west of Shawnessy, and is a scenic area of rolling hills that parallels the Rocky Mountain front. It is a good starting point for a leisurely drive south into the heart of Alberta's high Ranching country. Great mountain views and lovely mature vegetation provide tremendous scenery as one drives west from Calgary on 22X to Priddis and towards the Bragg Creek area which is another 12 to 14 minutes beyond Priddis.

This area boasts beautiful acreages and larger land agriculture parcels and is highly sought after. Many gorgeous country roads offer some of the most beautiful country drives close to the city. One of Southern Alberta's most prestigious golf courses, Priddis Greens, is a 27 hole gem just west of the hamlet of Priddis. A major 80 unit condo complex is situated in the Priddis Greens golf course complex and currently about 60 new, very high quality estate homes are being built around the latest phase of the golf course called Hawkes Landing, with homes ranging from $950,000 to $3,000,000.

The lovely small quaint hamlet of Priddis offers a small complex with a country style cafe, stores, gas station, skating rink, community center, small country church and post office.

There are still some traditional "working" ranches in this area and some wonderful bed & breakfast operations but it is becoming best known for its beautiful acreages and country estate settings.

This area has truly become one of the most sought after country areas near Calgary and is a great place to raise a family and invest in property that will definitely gain in value into the future.

Prices in this area range from $650,000 up to as much as $3,000,000 and more for acreages and luxury estate homes on larger acreage parcels and large raw land parcels. Homes on the the Priddis Greens Golf Course range from $480,000+ for condo's at Priddis Greens up to well over $1.4M + for luxury homes on the Golf Course and at Hawk's landing.
