Live, work, and play in The Conservancy, an elegant community that capitalizes on its enviable natural location near the Jock River. Designed by Caivan Communities, Barrhaven’s newest neighbourhood has already captivated active Ottawans who are drawn to the parks, greenspaces, and walking trails that are thoughtfully integrated into this highly anticipated master-planned community.

The Conservancy, Barrhaven showcases a full range of the finely crafted OpenPlan™ designs that Caivan is known for in a setting that encourages neighbours to balance work and play. Trails and parks make it easy to enjoy nature to the fullest — leafy trails, along with more than 20 acres of greenspace, invite dog owners, bird watchers, and walkers to enjoy a stroll, while the numerous integrated parks entice mountain bikers and hikers in the summer, snowshoers and cross-country skiers in the winter. A canoe launch provides easy access to the river.

With occupancy beginning in 2020, Phase I of The Conservancy boasts 132 single-detached homes and 73 two-storey townhomes with double-car garages. The generous lots are designed to take advantage of their natural setting, with many of the single-detached homes backing onto greenspace.

This is a modern community with a distinct identity — perfect for families that love nature but want to be connected. Stores and restaurants are minutes away on Strandherd Drive, with community recreation centres nearby. There’s also easy access to Highway 417 and downtown Ottawa.

The two-storey single-detached homes are set on extra-wide lots ranging from 35’ to 50’, with 12 floorplans offering choices for every size of family. These floorplans are both innovative and practical, highlighting Caivan’s OpenPlan™ designs, which see main-floor posts and structural walls strategically located or eliminated so as not to interrupt the flow of everyday life. The result is a light-filled main living space in which the kitchen, dining area and great room are joined for easy living and entertaining.

Porches, double-car garages, and mudrooms add to the functionality of each home. Caivan Communities also appeals to small families with a two-bedroom bungalow that offers compact, well-designed living on one floor with a finished basement.

Innovative two-storey townhomes with double-car garages add to the community’s range of designs. On the main floor, a porch entranceway leads into a spacious great room, dining room and kitchen with granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. Nine-ft. ceilings and eight-ft. doors add airiness. The second floor highlights a generous master bedroom and ensuite, along with an exterior amenity space, as well as two secondary bedrooms that can double as a home office or guest room. A finished basement adds even more living space.

The Conservancy Sales Centre is now open, offering the opportunity to stop in, see the floorplans, and get a sense of how this community is tailored to its natural setting. A stunning 50’ model home is currently open at Orléans Village in Orléans for homebuyers who would like to see firsthand the innovative OpenPlan™ designs, quality finishes, and craftsmanship for which Caivan Communities is known. Two additional model homes are also available for viewing at Caivan’s Fox Run in Richmond Village.
