Construction
Quality that even the most discriminating buyer will admire — yet surprisingly affordable

Shared ownership means the cottages at Whitewater Village can be built to the highest standards of quality and sustainability, yet remain affordable. And because they were designed to be sustainable, the cottages rely on cost-effective natural resources that preserve the area’s natural beauty.

Each spacious, two-storey 1,700-square-foot cottage was built with nature — and you — in mind. They are 40% to 50% more energy-efficient than the typical cottage. And they provide an unmatched experience of natural beauty, comfort and enjoyment.

Consider some of our cottages’ construction features:

  • Energy Star accreditation
  • Advanced, energy-efficient interlocking log walls that keep you comfortable while retaining a rich natural beauty
  • Geothermal heating system that uses energy derived from the ground, providing affordable comfort no matter what happens to energy prices in the future
  • High-efficiency windows that let the light in but keep the weather outside
  • Solar-ready water heaters that keep energy use to a minimum
  • High ceilings that allow for maximal light and lend an air of luxury and abundance to your home away from home
  • Sound-absorbing log walls in the master bedroom, combining comfort, spaciousness and quiet
  • Resource-efficient wood-pellet fireplace with a “set and forget” solution, so you can spend those crisp fall nights basking in the warmth of the flames before nestling into bed
  • Fully equipped cook’s kitchen with Energy Star appliances
  • Three outdoor decks (and an outdoor grill) for a variety of possibilities for alfresco dining, whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet night alone
  • Indoor finishes based on emission free, low VOC and sustainably harvested materials to maximize indoor air quality, so you breathe fresh air inside and out
  • Reclaimed Ottawa River pine flooring by Log's End
