    A $2 MILLION DOLLAR VIEW IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. The reported RMS square footage tells only part of the story, as two substantial above-grade wings are not currently included. Once completed to qualifying RMS standards, the home would exceed 8,000 sq. ft. and could offer a total of eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Set on 4.87 acres overlooking Spruce Meadows and Calgary’s downtown skyline, this sprawling walkout bungalow offers the rare opportunity to live comfortably in the completed portion while bringing an extraordinary vision to life. The existing residence features generous gathering spaces and a secluded primary retreat with a private office, large walk-in closet and two ensuite bathrooms. One unfinished wing is already approximately 75% complete. This substantial addition extends from the main residence and continues into an upper level that wraps above the attached garage. Designed to accommodate FIVE additional bedrooms & FOUR additional bathrooms and a vaulted bonus or playroom, the unfinished space dramatically expands the scale and flexibility of the home. The second unfinished wing contains a remarkable 46’ x 20’ indoor pool area with soaring ceilings. Complete it as a private pool and wellness retreat, or reimagine the space as an indoor sport court, gym, golf training facility, studio or exceptional recreation hall. Once properly completed and heated, this area would also contribute to the home’s RMS square footage, bringing the total to more than 8,000 sq. ft. An enormous four-bay, tandem-depth attached garage provides room for up to eight vehicles, while a separate stable/outbuilding offers even more versatility. The home is equipped with three forced-air furnaces and two hot-water tanks. The scale, configuration and setting could be ideally suited to multigenerational living, a private spa or retreat, or a distinctive bed-and-breakfast concept, subject to required approvals. For a buyer with vision and the resources to complete it properly, this is an incredibly rare opportunity to create a landmark legacy estate just minutes from Calgary and everyday shopping.

    Country living without the gravel roads? Yes, it really does exist! Set on over 18 acres near Namaka Lake and Eagle Lake, this exceptional property offers peace, privacy, and plenty of room for both two-legged and four-legged family members. Surrounded by natural beauty, the property is located near a Ducks Unlimited wetland project, helping preserve the area’s wildlife habitat. Farmland behind the acreage—designated for the Calgary Zoo—adds to the open views and rural atmosphere, with no crowded subdivision in sight. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive setup, including fencing, corrals, shelters, an area for a round pen, gates, and an electric waterer. Much of the hard work has already been done, so you can spend less time preparing and more time riding—or explaining why you somehow need another horse. The spacious bi-level home features a bright, open-concept design with a generous kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room. The main-floor primary bedroom includes a private ensuite and walk-in closet, while main-floor laundry makes everyday living wonderfully convenient. Step outside onto the expansive south-facing deck—the perfect place for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and watching the animals make questionable decisions. Downstairs, the fully developed lower level offers three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, abundant storage, and flexible spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or gathering with family and friends. A heated triple attached garage with concrete floors and 220-volt wiring provides excellent space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and all the country-living gear you promised would fit neatly in one corner. Additional sheds and horse shelters complete this practical and well-equipped acreage. With room to roam, beautiful surroundings, animal facilities, and pavement right to the property, this is the country oasis you’ve been waiting for—muddy boots optional, gravel-road dust not included.

    Set on a private, wooded 2-acre parcel in the sought-after community of Elk Valley Estates, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to create your own country retreat in one of the most desirable lifestyle locations west of Calgary. Bordering an environmental reserve on two sides, which is a well known wildlife corridor, and tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, the setting provides a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and direct access to the outdoor lifestyle that draws so many to Bragg Creek. Spend your weekends exploring the renowned West Bragg Creek and Kananaskis trail systems, enjoying world-class mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, all just minutes from your doorstep. The charming hamlet of Bragg Creek offers local shops, cafés, restaurants, and a strong sense of community, while Calgary remains an easy 30-minute commute away. This two storey home has over 3000 sq ft of total living space, including the walkout basement, has been cared for by the same owners for the past 18 years and offers a solid foundation for future updates and personalization. Large windows throughout the home capture peaceful forest views, while the vaulted living room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling bay window that brings the outdoors in. The bright dining area opens onto an expansive deck, creating the perfect space to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the surrounding natural landscape. The spacious kitchen features oak cabinetry, an island, and a sunny breakfast nook, while the adjoining family room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a five-piece ensuite and walk in closet in addition to another full bathroom. The walkout lower level provides additional living/recreation space and features a gas fireplace, full bathroom and extensive storage spaces. Seller improvements include a roof replacement in 2015 and two new furnaces and h/w tank were installed in 2026. While the home presents an opportunity for a new owner to undertake cosmetic updates and further improvements, the true value lies in the exceptional setting, the mature treed acreage, and the unparalleled lifestyle that comes with living in West Bragg Creek. Properties offering this combination of privacy, natural surroundings, and access to recreation are increasingly difficult to find, making this a rare opportunity to establish roots in one of Alberta's most treasured country residential communities.

    Set on 20 fully fenced acres just 20 minutes from CrossIron Mills, this exceptional Rocky View County property is a rare opportunity for anyone seeking space, infrastructure and versatility. Ideally located along Highway 566 with pavement right to the driveway, properties with this combination of access and acreage are increasingly hard to find. Mature trees, shelter belts, and established landscaping give the property privacy and a true sense of country living, while two wells and cross-fenced pastures add practicality and flexibility for a range of rural uses. The barn/shop was the previous owner's dream build, and it shows. With space configured for up to four stalls with water and a dedicated wash bay with hot and cold plumbing, it can just as easily serve as a fully functional shop. Over-height double doors let you drive a truck and trailer straight through, while an additional garage bay is ideal for mechanical work, storage, or equipment maintenance. A studio with a full bathroom offers comfortable accommodations for hired help or guests. The property adapts easily to a range of rural lifestyles and business uses – store and service an RV or travel bus, run a small hobby farm with the existing hen house and rabbit hutch, or put the shop to work for trucks, equipment or commercial storage. Featured as well are steel-fenced paddocks with automatic waterers, cross-fenced pastures, a smaller riding pasture, and a horse shelter. Rounding out the property is a character-filled log home surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping. The main floor offers a bright living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, a spacious kitchen with breakfast room and generous pantry storage, and a laundry/bathroom off the main entrance. Upstairs are four exceptionally large bedrooms and a main shared bathroom, offering plenty of space for family or guests. The house has been rented out for the past 10 years, and while it remains quite livable, the owner has reduced the price $200K to allow a buyer to bring it up to modern standards with their own renovations and upgrades. A rare opportunity to own a highly functional acreage with exceptional access, infrastructure, and versatility, all within an easy commute to Calgary. More details

    Imagine easing into the morning from the spa-style hot tub, coffee in hand, watching the eastern sky come alive as the sun rises over the Foothills and elk move across the distant landscape. Spend the afternoon working on your golf game, practicing archery, saddling up for a ride, or simply enjoying 20 acres of space that is entirely your own. When winter arrives, build a skating rink, bring out the skates and hockey sticks, or strap on your cross-country skis and follow the perimeter of the property as the landscape settles into winter. This is the kind of property where the lifestyle isn't something you drive to, it's something you live every day. Perfectly situated just northwest of Okotoks, this private 20 acre property offers the freedom of country living with an easy connection to Calgary and all the amenities of town just minutes away. Whether you're an experienced equestrian looking for room for your horses, dreaming of learning to ride, or simply looking for the space to create the acreage lifestyle you've always imagined, the possibilities here are hard to replicate. The home has been extensively updated and thoughtfully improved, combining warmth, character and modern comfort. The 2023 renovation introduced wide-plank engineered oak flooring, beautiful millwork, crown moulding, faux fir ceiling beams, renovated bathrooms, a completely reimagined kitchen, built-in cabinetry and a new gas fireplace. Major systems have also been addressed, including a new roof in 2026, high-efficiency furnace and air conditioning, new well pump, septic pump and complete replacement of the home's Poly-B plumbing with PEX. The basement has just been completed with new carpet and fresh paint, while the oversized triple-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment and all the toys that come with acreage living. Outside, the improvements make the land as functional as it is beautiful. Extensive grading, landscaping, retaining walls, concrete patios and stairs, an upgraded recycled asphalt driveway and expanded parking create an inviting arrival and enhance the usability of the property. Three horse shelters with attached tack rooms, paddock fencing and an extended driveway create an ideal setup for equestrian living, while the expansive acreage leaves plenty of room to continue making the property your own. Most importantly, there is a feeling here that is difficult to put on a feature sheet. It's the quiet of the morning, the changing seasons, the sight of elk in the distance, the freedom to step outside and do something you've always wanted to do, and the comfort of knowing there is room for whatever comes next. Private Foothills living, minutes from Okotoks, with the space to ride, ski, play, explore, entertain and simply enjoy life. This is acreage living the way it was meant to be. More details
