Southbow Landing Cochrane: Inside the Denali 6 New Build
If you're thinking about a new build in Southbow Landing, Cochrane, you're not alone. It's one of the most talked about new communities in town, and for good reason. Buying early in a brand new community can feel exciting and a little overwhelming at the same time: which builder, which floor plan, and is now the right time? In the video below, I tour the Denali 6 by Sterling Homes, a 2,200+ square foot, three bedroom home with a main floor office, a bonus room, and a separate side entrance. Here's what it's like inside and what to know before you buy in Southbow Landing.
Key takeaways
Southbow Landing is one of Cochrane's newest communities, and early phases often come with the lowest lot pricing.
The Denali 6 has over 2,200 square feet, three bedrooms, a main floor office, and a bonus room with vaulted ceilings.
Storage is everywhere: a huge walk-in pantry, multiple closets, and a primary closet that feels like a dressing room.
A separate side entrance and roughed-in basement give you options for future development.
New detached homes in Southbow Landing sit above Cochrane's detached benchmark, which was $657,600 in September 2026, according to CREB.
Why buyers are choosing Southbow Landing
Southbow Landing is one of Cochrane's newest and fastest growing communities. Buying in an early phase can be a smart move, because lot prices are typically lowest at the start, and you get to watch parks, pathways, and amenities grow around you. Several builders offer a wide range of floor plans, from duplexes to larger detached homes.
The trade off? Like any new community, expect construction nearby for a while. I'll always give you the honest picture of what's planned next to any lot you're considering. For more on the community, watch Southbow Landing: Pros and Cons of Cochrane's Largest New Community.
Inside the Denali 6 by Sterling Homes
Main floor: office, kitchen, and storage
The home feels bright and welcoming from the front door, with a big entry closet and a main floor office with dark accent walls, perfect if you work from home.
The kitchen, dining, and living areas sit at the back of the home and flow together beautifully. This show home has Sterling's executive kitchen upgrade, with built-in appliances, a gas range, lots of drawers, a waterfall island, and a bold black quartz backsplash. A massive walk-in pantry, a spacious powder room, and several storage closets keep everyday life organized.
Upstairs: bonus room and three big bedrooms
Upstairs, the bonus room has vaulted ceilings and big windows, perfect as a playroom or movie room. The primary suite easily fits a king bed and extra furniture, and the ensuite has a freestanding tub, dual sinks, a large tiled shower, and a private water closet. The walk-in closet is huge, more like a dressing room, with smart shelving and a motion sensor light.
Two more oversized bedrooms at the front each have their own walk-in closet, and there's a full bathroom, a big linen closet, and upstairs laundry.
Basement and side entrance
The Denali 6 has a separate side entrance and an unfinished basement with two large windows and a bathroom rough-in. It's a blank canvas for a rec room, more bedrooms, or a future suite, subject to the Town's requirements.
What do new builds cost in Southbow Landing?
New build prices in Southbow Landing depend on the builder, floor plan, lot, and upgrades. For context, CREB's Cochrane benchmarks in September 2026 were $497,000 for semi-detached homes and $657,600 for detached homes, and larger new detached homes like the Denali 6 sit above that. Builders also adjust pricing and incentives often, especially on quick possession homes, so ask me what's current before you visit the show homes.
Why use your own agent for a new build?
Here's the thing, the show home team works for the builder. I spent six years in new home sales before becoming an agent, so I know which questions to ask, which upgrades matter for resale, and how to compare builders and lots. Having your own agent on a new build means someone is in your corner.
Who the Denali 6 is best for
Growing families who want three big bedrooms plus a bonus room.
Anyone who works from home and needs a main floor office.
Buyers who want room to develop the basement down the road.
Families relocating to Cochrane who want a brand new home with a warranty.
