Description
Sometimes you can own a house, and sometimes you can own some history, but occasionally.. you can own both! What a stellar location with one of the best, if not THE BEST view of the head of The Great Canadian Badlands. This home was originally the property of the Canadian Railway and was a spot for weary rail workers to lay their heads. Since then the home was recently stripped back to the studs and completely renovated with all new insulation, wiring, plumbing, and added insulation in the attic. The owners have taken distinct measures to preserve the character of the home where they could, ie. the floors. Where they couldn't maintain original status they went out of their way to pay homage to the era with pieces like the ornate wood burning stove, industrial chic lighting fixtures and panelled doors. Privacy is at a premium thanks to the gorgeous mature trees. Complete with two sheds for storage, a big fire pit and a stage to do a little pickin' & grinnin' on! North of the yard shelter belt is a great big space to build a shop, or a new home on someday. Until then it's ideal for some animals, or just a place to enjoy the tranquility of The Coulee. Donalda is a great little town with a k-9 school, some fine eateries, a fabulous indoor&outdoor riding arena and all just ten minutes away from the largest lake south of Edmonton - Buffalo Lake! about a half an hour to Stettler and just over that the other way to Camrose. Lastly, just beyond your backyard behold THE WORLD'S LARGEST LAMP!!!
