Mattamy Homes Introduces Farmhouse-Inspired Master-Plan Living To Sherwood Park

Sherwood Park, Alberta — a peaceful hamlet located just 20 minutes from Edmonton — is known and loved for its family-friendly streets, access to nature, and warm, community atmosphere. The area is highly sought-after by young families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. It offers residents the opportunity to luxuriate in life at a slower pace, while still enjoying access to modern amenities like great shopping, excellent schools, and a slew of recreational facilities. For those looking to lay down roots in this best-of-both-worlds destination, now may be just the right time, as the community welcomes Hearthstone. The new low-rise master plan, rising in Sherwood Park, blends modern comforts and a strong sense of community with a farmhouse-inspired aesthetic and lifestyle. And, of course, the great outdoors. Presented by Mattamy Homes, the sprawling community of Hearthstone has been thoughtfully built with residents' real lives, needs, and desires top of mind. The homes at Hearthstone are each built on a "WideLot™," a Mattamy Homes signature, which translates to larger rooms, shorter hallways, and ultimately, more space. (Not to mention, the increased possibilities that more space lends itself to.) A WideLot™ also means your garage won’t dominate the front of your home, giving you a much more spacious front porch — all the more inviting for sipping morning coffee on. "Introduced in 1996, Mattamy’s WideLot™ challenged conventional building norms with a wider, more inviting street profile,” says Blair Powell, Sales Operations Manager for Mattamy Homes. “By reducing the number of homes per street, WideLot™ not only enhances curb appeal, but also fosters a quieter, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere.” Inside, the homes at Hearthstone are sleek and cozy, with open-concept layouts and soaring windows that invite in tons of natural light. There are more than 24 floor plans to select from — each unique while remaining complementary to one another. While this means residents will be able to enjoy personalized interiors and exteriors, the streetscape they gaze out upon will always be picturesque. The overarching feel of the homes is “farmhouse,” while modern touches — think: gold fixtures and coloured brick fireplaces — add an air of elegance, without ever sacrificing character and charm.

This makes it easy for future residents to generate rental income, which can support in paying off their mortgage faster. Starting at just $364,990, Hearthstone brings a degree of accessibility to beautiful, farmhouse-feel living — one that's difficult to find in Canada's current low-rise real estate landscape. By integrating income suites into our homes, we're not just creating living spaces; we're fostering financial freedom and flexibility for homeowners,” says David Wan, Vice President of Sales for Mattamy Homes’ Alberta Division. “Whether for multi-generational living, rental income, or a private workspace, these suites add tangible value. Purchasing presale ensures you're not just buying a home but investing in an asset with built-in income potential, starting from day one.” While Sherwood Park is already flourishing, the master-planned community of Hearthstone is poised for even more growth, with two future school sites planned, plus three acres of neighbourhood and community amenity areas, including playgrounds, shopping, and much more. One such playground is already complete, ready for residents to enjoy upon move-in — a rarity for low-rise developments, these days.

Hearthstone sits in the midst of an incredible 40 acres of environmental reserve, which future residents can look forward to exploring as they bike, run or walk along the trails that wind throughout the community. In addition to untouched nature, there will be a 2.68 acre woodlot area, which will act as an outdoor community hub with a selection of picnic sites, boardwalks, and lookout areas for everyone's enjoyment. The woodlot area will serve as a gathering place, where residents can come together and connect with one another for casual fun, barbecues, birthday parties, or kids' sports days.And, for those times that residents do want to venture beyond their neighbourhood's borders, though right in the heart of nature, Hearthstone is by no means remote. The community is just off of Yellowhead highway, which will get you to Edmonton in 20 minutes. And with markets, hospitals, and shopping all accessible in Sherwood Park — waiting just around the corner — future residents will want for nothing. Select homes are already available, with more coming to market in the coming months — meaning, there’s time to move in and get settled before the new school year begins.
