** Please join us for our TWILIGHT OPEN HOUSE this Friday, June 5th from 6-9PM to explore this property and catch a sunset .** | Wake up to the Rocky Mountains and finish your day watching the horses graze as the sun drops behind the foothills. This is ±8.7 private, treed acres just five minutes from Calgary's south edge, so you get real country living without giving anything up. Spruce Meadows, Granary Road and Red Deer Lake School are all minutes away, and yes, you can still order Skip the Dishes out here. The five bedroom walkout home was made for the view. Big west facing windows pull the mountains and foothills into nearly every room, so you can watch the kids on the zipline or the horses in the pasture right from the kitchen. And the kitchen is the heart of the home, open concept with a peninsula island that's built for entertaining. The upstairs brick wood burning and downstairs gas fireplaces keep it cozy, the all season sunroom doubles as a playroom, library or office, and the oversized mudroom and laundry make day to day country life easy. The walkout basement adds a gym, extra bedrooms with soundproofed construction, and a second fireplace framed by built in bookcases. Outside, the land is fully cross fenced and ready for horses and animals, with a barn for stabling, a workshop, and storage for boats and equipment. There's an oversized double garage, loads of driveway parking, a dedicated RV pad, a hot tub pad, a kids playset, a rock waterfall, and plenty of spots to sit and take it all in. The home has been updated top to bottom in recent years, including the kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, a high efficiency furnace and heat pump, a new septic system, and a 14.2 kW grid tied solar system on the buyback program. Paved road and driveway right to the door. Mountain views, room for horses, and the city close by. Book your showing.
