Open House Sun from 1-4.!fWelcome to your dream country home in a peaceful and picturesque setting with pavement to your door and an ample supply of amazing water. 20 acres of mixed forest and pasture backs onto two quarter sections of Crown land just 20 minutes from Cochrane and 35 minutes from NW Calgary – you can have it all.
House was redone in the early 2000s. A large mudroom at the back houses the laundry area. Watch deer stroll by from your dream kitchen. The living areas on the main floor have richly coloured hard wood floors. A room on the main floor can be used for multiple purposes including a fourth bedroom. The wide staircase (3.5 ft) brings you luxuriously into an open area on the second floor that could be used as an office space, playroom, exercise area, reading nook, or hobby area. The upstairs boasts three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including Jaccuzi tubs. The master bedroom is outfitted with California Closets shelving. The basement is unfinished with some roughed in walls and storage shelving. The well is located in the cold room.
Children can play on the swing set, in the playhouse, in the tree house, or in nature itself. The home is in the Westbrook School catchment area, and there are buses to Cochrane as well. There is a large dog run (could house other small animals), a chicken coop, and set up for large animals including a sanded oval riding arena, paddocks and pasture, two shelters, and an automatic waterer (requires servicing). Twelve gates help customize pasture space.
There is a double garage with a second level that can be used as a games or hobby area. The Quonset is equipped with a workbench and separate workroom. The hay shed is perfect for storing hay and/or equipment. There is plenty of room on this property.
Enjoy the lilac bush, daylilies, horseradish, Saskatoon bushes, apple trees (2014 and 2017) and more. The front deck can be finished to your liking by adding a second level, more steps, or garden beds along the front. Outdoor lighting is available or simply turn the lights off and star gaze in the darkest of skies. Enjoy the northern lights from your bedroom window. You won’t get skies like this in town.
