Welcome to your private oasis — a modern, sunny, fully-renovated family home, embraced by the natural splendour of Alberta’s foothills. Nestled on a hillside among 16 acres of tall, slender aspens, this three-bedroom, three- bathroom home is mere minutes from the vibrant village of Bragg Creek and the outdoor paradise of Kananaskis, and a pleasant half-hour drive from Calgary. As you pull up the private driveway, you’ll be struck by the tidy blue aluminum board-and- batten exterior with cedar trim — a contemporary take on a rustic vibe that mirrors the crisp rural sky. Straight ahead is the oversized two-car garage and well-appointed workshop with in-floor heating. Above that, accessible via a private, no-slip staircase, is a surprisingly spacious and bright one- bedroom suite with full bathroom and a huge balcony, the perfect place from which to admire the yellow fall foliage. This attractive and contemporary suite is ideal for visitors now — and, pending receipt of the required permit, it opens intriguing options as an income property. As you enter the main house, you’ll appreciate the large foyer with generous storage for your outerwear. The adjacent bathroom is handy for guests, and also features a clawfoot tub — a delightful place to unwind after a bracing day of snowshoeing or other winter sports. From here, a short staircase in this side-split home leads down to a cozy, carpeted den or rec room, as well as a bedroom ideal for your teenager, a full bathroom with shower, and plenty of storage. Straight through the foyer is the great room, whose vaulted ceiling with wooden beams, gleaming maple hardwood floors, and walls of triple-pane windows afford a welcoming sense of airiness, warmth and light. The brand new, highly efficient wood-burning fireplace, flanked by two tall windows, boasts an elegant stone surround, creating a focal point that is as inviting as it is practical. The thoughtfully-designed open kitchen features gleaming high-gloss cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and wooden counters — urban chic meets country charm. Double sliding patio doors lead out to a spacious new deck, beckoning you outdoors to barbecue, hang laundry in the clean summer air, host friends around the picnic table, and watch the whitetail deer glide past. Just a few steps further, enjoy the sunny, multi-tier herb and vegetable garden, a greenhouse, and the rest of your private acreage. From the great room, another short staircase leads to the bedroom wing. The spacious and quiet master bedroom boasts a private dressing area and large en-suite with oversized shower. A second bedroom for the kids and a cozy loft office complete this portion of the house. This wonderful home has it all: Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature and proximity to some of the world’s foremost outdoor adventures. At the same time, you won’t have to compromise on anything with this cool, classy, well-built and energy-efficient home, so close to all amenities and conveniences.
