43 Lake Wapta Rise SE in Calgary: Lake Bonavista Detached for sale : MLS®# A2346199
Lake Bonavista
Welcome to Lake Bonavista, Calgary’s original lake community, where residents enjoy
an exceptional blend of recreational amenities, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community.
Man-Made Lake and Recreation
Established in 1967, Lake Bonavista was the first community in Canada built around a man-made lake. The 52-acre lake offers year-round activities, including swimming, boating, and fishing in the summer, and ice skating and hockey during the winter months.
Proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park
Bordering the southern edge of the community, Fish Creek Provincial Park provides residents with access to extensive walking and cycling trails, picnic areas, and natural landscapes, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
Diverse Housing Options
Lake Bonavista offers a variety of housing styles, from single-family homes to luxury estates, catering to diverse preferences and lifestyles. As of December 2024, the average home price in Lake Bonavista is approximately $749,900, reflecting its status as a desirable neighborhood.
Educational Facilities
The community is served by reputable schools, including Lake Bonavista School and St. Boniface School, providing quality education options for families with children.
Active Community Association
The Lake Bonavista Community Association organizes various programs, events, and recreational activities, fostering a vibrant and engaged community atmosphere.
Convenient Access to Amenities
With its strategic location near major roadways and public transit, residents of Lake Bonavista enjoy easy access to shopping centers, dining options, and other essential services, enhancing the convenience of daily living.
A newly constructed, never lived in home in Lake Bonavista is an extraordinary rarity. In the past 25 years, only three such homes have been offered for public sale on MLS. While a small handful of other homes have been newly built in the last 25 years, those properties were lived in before coming to market. This is a genuinely uncommon opportunity to be the first owner of a brand new custom residence in one of Calgary's most established and sought after lake communities. Completed in 2026, this exceptional bungalow offers almost 4,300 sq. ft. of professionally developed living space, new home warranty coverage and a level of finish designed to impress. The stone-accented exterior opens to a dramatic foyer and an interior defined by soaring 12' ceilings, custom millwork, designer lighting, carefully selected finishes throughout, and premium triple pane windows which insulate the home & keep it super quiet. The open concept main floor balances everyday comfort with impressive entertaining space. At its centre, the kitchen features natural stone surfaces, custom cabinetry, an integrated JennAir appliance package, built-in JennAir coffee system, white Kohler farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry and an oversized island that invites people to gather. The spacious living and dining areas flow naturally from the kitchen, creating a bright, cohesive setting for both relaxed family life and larger occasions. The private primary retreat includes a beautifully appointed 5-pc ensuite with heated floors, a steam shower, freestanding soaker tub, dual sinks and smart toilet. Two additional main floor bedrooms share a full bathroom, while an elegant powder room serves guests. Downstairs, 9' ceilings enhance an expansive and highly functional lower level. A large recreation and lounge area is complemented by a custom wet bar with natural stone surfaces and a built-in Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. A dedicated theatre, glass enclosed office, fitness room, 2 additional bedrooms, full bathroom, laundry area and extensive storage provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests and work from home needs. Comfort has been thoughtfully addressed with in-floor heat in every bathroom, dual zone heating with separate furnaces for the main and lower levels, air conditioning, 200-amp electrical service and a 75-gallon water heater. The detached garage includes a gas rough-in for a future heater & its own electrical panel. The value is equally compelling. Between the scarcity of suitable lots, demolition and today's construction costs, duplicating a home of this scale and quality in Lake Bonavista at the offered price would be very difficult, before accounting for the considerable time required. Add year round lake privileges and outstanding access to Fish Creek, schools, shopping, dining and major routes, and this becomes a home without a true local comparison.
