A thriving new development is turning heads in southern Manitoba – and for good reason. With housing in short supply across many rural communities, Prairie Hearth in Rosenort is offering a fresh alternative with a variety of lots, nearby amenities, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere. And now, Phase 2 is officially open for sales.
“This is a 235-lot development that will be phased out over several years,” explains Candice Bakx-Friesen with Royal LePage Dynamic. “Phase 1 has been around for about two years, and now I’m very excited to be launching Phase 2.”
The first phase of Prairie Hearth saw strong demand, with a mix of housing types taking shape – from single-family homes to townhouses and duplexes. Even a new multi-family building has begun construction, a sign that the area is on the rise.
“The piles are in – it’s really fun to watch the progress,” says Bakx-Friesen. “There’s a lot of momentum here.”
Phase 2 adds even more options. A brand-new bay is now open for buyers, making it a great time to drive out to Rosenort and see the available lots. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a growing family, or a downsizing couple, Prairie Hearth has something for everyone.

“There’s a daycare adjacent to the development, the school is just down the road, and the community itself is very family-oriented,” she says. “Rosenort also has a strong business sector and lots of job opportunities, which makes it ideal for people looking to live and work locally.”
With many neighbouring communities seeing their residential lots fill up, interest in Prairie Hearth is growing among builders and investors alike.
“We’re finding builders are looking at Rosenort as a good opportunity for spec homes or investment properties,” Bakx-Friesen notes. “The demand is definitely there.”
Beyond residential housing, there is also a clear need for adult-living options and retail space in the community – gaps that future phases of Prairie Hearth may help address.
The appeal is drawing attention from across the region.
“We’ve had people from Winkler looking here because it’s closer to Winnipeg,” says Bakx-Friesen. “Others from the city are ready to leave the hustle and bustle for a more peaceful, small-town lifestyle.”
