THE HISTORY OF OUR PROPERTY
​
Set on 13 acres of rolling foothills in Priddis, Alberta, Azuridge offers a peaceful escape just beyond Calgary. Surrounded by sweeping landscapes, homestead ranches and quiet country roads, the estate invites guests to slow down and settle into a different pace. Originally built as a private residence in 1997, Azuridge’s architecture draws inspiration from the grand historic railway stations of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its striking scale is balanced by inviting spaces and thoughtful details, while floor-to-ceiling windows in the main hall frame panoramic views of the surrounding foothills.
​
The name Azuridge reflects the beauty of its setting. “Azure” evokes Alberta’s brilliant blue skies and the rich tones of azurite, a mineral often called the “stone of heaven.” “Ridge” honours the estate’s elevated position and the expansive views that make this place so memorable.
​
Since opening to the public on January 1, 2012, Azuridge has become a treasured retreat for guests from near and far. Its privacy, distinctive character and gracious hospitality draw travellers seeking a quiet getaway, local guests who return to their home away from home, and corporate groups looking for space to connect. Tucked into the Alberta foothills, this hidden gem offers a setting as remarkable as the moments shared here.
