Poised proudly on a bluff high above Cochrane’s Town Hall (the Western Heritage Centre), The Village of Sunset Ridge resides on 142 acres whose views of the Bow River Valley and its Rocky Mountain backdrop are nothing short of spectacular. Carefully crafted to honour the integrity of the natural landscape, The Village is rich in green space interlaced with walking trails and cycling paths.
In the late 1800s, the Cochrane area was on the edge of Canada’s new frontier. The ‘last best west’, as it came to be known, began with a grazing lease issued to the Cochrane Ranche Company Ltd. Some 129 years later, Cochrane is once again on the brink of a new frontier – as Calgary’s most desirable, accessible and charming satellite community. Nestled at the base of the aptly named Big Hill, Cochrane boasts a burgeoning arts community, year-round festivals and a variety of four-season recreational opportunities from world-class hang-gliding to tranquil river rafting to skiing and snowboarding at several renowned alpine resorts less than an hour away.
