Watercolour Westport by Land Ark Homes has won the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) National Award for Housing Excellence for Best Production Net Zero Home in Canada. The designer-furnished model home, located in walkable Westport in the heart of Eastern Ontario’s historic cottage country, was chosen from entries by builders from across Canada. The home proves the attainability of a high-performance, fossil-fuel free home for any new home buyer. Every Watercolour home starts with the same high-performance Net Zero Ready certification. Homes range in price from $552,000 to $2M.
A Watercolour Net Zero home is the peak of comfort and efficiency. It produces as much renewable energy on-site as it consumes over the course of a year thanks to solar panels on the roof and a long list of proven technology and superior building techniques.
These are healthier, sustainable and resilient homes that are built to last for generations. Equally beneficial to the wellbeing of homeowners is the walkability of the community, with integrated nature trails, lookouts, and public gathering places inside the lakeside village of Westport.
“Winning this award is especially meaningful as our team, our trade partners, and our suppliers refined or dramatically improved the way we build production homes in Canada,” says Stephen Rolston, founder and owner of Land Ark Homes. “Our Net Zero Ready homes make owning a high-performance home attainable for average Canadians, bringing them future-ready features like EV-ready garages, solar-power ready roof engineering and electrician-ready rough-ins, all for energy resilience peace of mind.”
Land Ark Homes is proud to add this recognition from the CHBA to the numerous awards previously earned in various categories with local, national and international associations.
Watercolour Westport is conveniently located 75 minutes from Ottawa, and just a 25-minute drive from Perth. The model home at 148 Hearthside Drive is open for visitors every day of the week or by scheduling a meeting or personal tour through watercolourwestport.com.
