A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN 20 ACRES with a CREEK, POND, lots of TREES providing a PRIVATE OASIS and only 15 minutes to Westhills Shopping or only 25 minutes to downtown Calgary. Take in the serenity of the long tree lined driveway as it dips down to the creek bed on the way to your new home. You may spot some deer, a coyote or some birds of prey along the way. At the end of the driveway, you will find a rare brick sided bungalow with over 6000 sq. ft of living space. An extensive renovation was done in the 90's and ongoing improvements have been made over the years, including a just completed renovation of a lower-level bathroom. This home functions well as a family home with spaces for the family to get together, retreat to private areas and it is a fantastic home for entertaining large gatherings for family and friends. The adjacent family and living rooms provide lots of options for larger groups. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen with a massive island, gas cooktop and double wall ovens, plenty of cabinets and an oversized pantry. The adjacent dining room can seat up to 10 people or 16 with a portable table extension. Your guests will enjoy great food and a wonderful view while dining, An executive-sized home office is conveniently located at the front entrance. The primary bedroom with reading and dressing area and a 4 piece en suite with in-floor heating makes for a relaxing private retreat. Some of the features of this great home are custom arches between rooms, solid core doors, curved staircase to the lower level, wide hallways, walk-in entrance closet, main floor laundry with space for a freezer and refrigerator and a stone fireplace in the family room. In the lower level the wide-open family/recreation areas offer a variety of options for games, conversations in front of the inviting fireplace, exercise and 2 huge bedrooms with en suites for the teenagers in the family or guests. There is a cold storage room, 2 large storage rooms, 3 mechanical rooms for zone heating and a well house with water treatment equipment. A significant bonus is the huge 2 level deck with 18' diameter gazebo. Perfect for summer living. The detached garage has ample space for 4 vehicles plus the adjacent pole shed has 3 stalls for vehicles or acreage equipment. There is a large paved parking space for additional parking and storage. If you are into gardening there is a large vegetable garden which can be irrigated from the pond. This one-of-a-kind property is a wonderful opportunity to make it your private estate, with upside potential for sub-division, develop your own equestrian Centre or possibly a pitch and putt golf course. Minutes to the Glencoe, Springs and Spirit River Golf Courses, a quick getaway to world class skiing or hiking in K-Country and easy access to all Calgary has to offer, it doesn't get much better than this.
