As we all reflect over the past 18 months and figure out what is truly important, it has become clear that family is top priority. More & more families are choosing to move to the country to have the space both indoors & outdoors to enjoy time together. As you drive west just a short distance from Calgary you will appreciate seeing the city in the rearview mirror & the stunning Rocky Mountains ahead. Enter the treelined paved driveway and you will immediately know you have found a warm & inviting property. The picture perfect hip roof barn is to the right & the charming home to the left. There is a perfect mix of trees & pasture and the mature landscaping gives you a ton of privacy. Enter the home and take in the mountain view and imagine the gatherings that have happened here. This home was made for entertaining. When we are all allowed to have huge functions the dining room will handle all of those people that are important to you. The Living room has the first of 3 fireplaces, this one being wood burning. As the holidays are just around the corner you can imagine everyone Christmas morning in this room with a decorated tree in the corner. The kitchen has updated appliances & there is a little breakfast nook to enjoy your morning coffee as you look out the big window at the snow covered mountains. There is a brick fireplace in here to make it warm & cozy. Not many people are lucky enough to have a fireplace in their kitchen. Make your way down the hall and here you will find a large bedroom & full bathroom. There is a home office that has an entrance from the hallway or from the front door. This making it the perfectly private location. The family room is located a few steps down from the main level. There are soaring ceilings, a floor to ceiling brick fireplace & a fun bar. All country properties should have large mud rooms and this one will not disappoint. The basement takes full advantage of the walkout with a huge master retreat. It would be hard to fill up the walk-in closet but it would sure be fun to try. There is a fantastic ensuite with heated tile floors, a deep soaker tub & separate shower. Open the cabinet and check out the clever secret room. If you have teenagers or guests they will love the huge bedrooms down here. One even comes complete with its own attached flex room. This would make a great playroom, home school room or workout area. The home has plenty of storage space to keep you organized. Bring your truck & SUV, the heated garage is 21’x23′, they will both fit in here. Ensure you leave yourself enough time to enjoy the outside. The dream of having a couple of horses, goats & chickens is easily a reality. The barn is setup for all of your furry family, there are 4 stalls, a tack room & the back features a workshop. Smokey the resident cat is very happy here, he would love to stay to protect your outdoor space from all of those unwanted little critters. This home has been well maintained & loved and is ready for your family.
