AMAZING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! Handyman Special! Stunning, Mature Acreage! This spectacular, heavily treed, 6.18-acre parcel is within minutes of Southwest Calgary and Spruce Meadows. All Structures here are solid but in rough shape. Most of the value here is in the location, the magical forested yard, and the views from the western part of the land - in short, this is a very special piece of land. The main home is a 1500+ square foot walkout bungalow. The "bunkhouse" is 2500 square feet on one level (slab on grade I believe) and consists of a 2-bedroom illegal suite and a ton of additional space that has been used for crafts in the past. Additional out buildings include a triple detached garage, a double detached garage, a barn, an insulated shed/cabin, and a covered gazebo. There is an old outdoor skating rink that could likely be brought back to life as well. This property would be ideal for those looking to be able to have 2 living quarters on one parcel. This property is also suitable to build your dream home, in which case the county may agree to allow the existing home to stay for a secondary suite/dwelling. Foothills County should be consulted about regulations regarding secondary suites or if you desire to build a new home and keep the old one. All structures will need some work but are in solid condition. This Estate sale is subject to probate being granted by the courts, but we do not expect any challenges. Everything here is to be accepted in "AS IS" condition. There is an RPR available, but it has not been sent in for compliance as we believe one shed it too close to the north lot line to get compliance.

This super energy efficient 5295 square foot building is set up in 3 separate sections. The northern 850 square feet is set up for office/reception/coffee room space. The portion of the building has 2 large offices, a spacious 2 piece bathroom, some cabinetry with a sink with some space for coffee and lunch, and a very large reception area. The first section of the shop is about 2530 square feet with 16 foot ceilings, and 2 overhead doors (one 12'x12' and another that is 12'x14' high). This shop area has another 2 piece bathroom, a mechanical room that can accommodate laundry facilities, 200 amp service, heated concrete floors, and great lighting. The next shop area has been opened up into the first, but with a simple wall, this portion could easily be leased out to a separate business as it has a separate entrance, separate heating zones, and also its own lunch room and bathroom. This side is about 1912 square feet. This entire complex is owned and was constructed by one of Alberta's most reputable and ethical builders, so rest assured that it is a very well constructed and efficient building. The complex consists of just 4 "bare land" condominium units, currently with just the one owner. This sale is for one of the 4 units. There is a common driveway/parking area with shared maintenance obligations, but costs and workload are expected to be minimal. We have access to a lender who can arrange financing for as little as 20% down with very attractive interest rates so please feel free to reach out any time for additional information. Private tours can be arranged for qualified buyers.

This is a very special home, and a lot of thought was put into its design. It starts with the curb appeal - stand back and look at this place from the street - it's beautiful. Here are some of the highlights: The garage is 3 cars wide, but it is also 2 cars deep on the north side making it a 4-car garage. It is also heated and has a floor drain. The main floor is very spacious and is packed with upgrades including floor to ceiling cabinetry, a walnut island, quarts countertops with a waterfall island, beautiful appliances, a garburator, an abundance of pot drawers, and a spacious pantry. The living room features a natural stone feature wall, cabinetry with a bar fridge, and best of all there are a ton of west exposed triple pane windows with beautiful views onto the air ranch and the mountains beyond. My favourite feature of the main floor is the sunroom. This sunroom is so beautiful, it is completely screened in which blocks any wind, it has a soaring vaulted cedar ceiling, pot lighting, and the owners rave about how much use they get out of this additional living space. There is also a main floor office with a custom built in desk, and a spacious mud room off the garage. The upper level is home to 4 bedrooms, the laundry room, a massive bonus room, and all of it must be seen to be appreciated. All these upper-level rooms are very spacious. The primary suite runs the width of the back side of the home, and the mountain views from here are breathtaking. The ensuite was thoughtfully designed, it features twin sinks, a soaker tub, and a high-end glass panel shower with high end tile work. The walk-in closet is sure to accommodate the largest of wardrobes. The second upper level bathroom has a cheater door from one of the additional bedrooms, it also has twin sinks, and it also has a separate room for the tub, shower, and toilet - making it absolutely perfect for the kids to share efficiently. The lower level is completely developed adding another 1000 square feet of living space. Down here you will find the 5th bedroom, another full bathroom, and a very spacious living area that just feels great. Outside you will appreciate the oversized, pie shaped yard (see RPR) and beautiful landscaping. The shed matches the house and is it 5' x 20' so there is plenty of storage for outdoor equipment. Top all of this off with yard irrigation, a new hot water tank, a zoned heating system, and the fact that this home not only backs onto green space, but it also faces green space, and this becomes a very rare offering that might just tick all the boxes on your home hunting checklist!
