Backing onto the spring-fed Beaupre Lake with a 180-degree, unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains, this walkout bungalow with 3,800+ sq ft of living was architect-designed by Design 2 Group (as featured in Architectural Digest) and built by Kingsmith Builders on 4.5 acres. The H-frame entry and floor-to-ceiling windows were purpose-built around the view — it's the first thing you notice, and it doesn't let up. The kitchen is finished for the chef at home: upgraded Fisher & Paykel appliances, a double wall oven, 5-burner gas cooktop with pot filler, dishwasher & beverage cooler plus a 4'x10' quartz waterfall island beneath a walnut-slatted ceiling. A butler's pantry behind the kitchen adds a second dishwasher, built-in microwave, and Corian counters — kitchen prep and cleanup, tucked out of sight. A custom 3-way fireplace by Alberta Metal Works separates the dining room from the main living room, tying the two spaces together while each keeps its own character — the dining room opens directly onto a 900 sq ft covered deck with glass partitions and gas outlets, while the living room's massive windows pull the mountain and lake view straight through the wall of glass. Lutron lighting, Somfy power blinds, and central air conditioning are a bonus. A convenient main-floor office with his/her built-in desks & hard-wired internet adds versatility for those who work remotely, anchored by a main-floor 2-piece bathroom. The main-floor primary suite includes a freestanding soaker tub, double rain showers, in-floor heat, and a large walk-in closet with built-ins and a vanity/make-up area — all beneath the same floor-to-ceiling glass that frames lake, mountains, and, at night, stars. A custom-built wood staircase, finished with its own display feature, leads down to the walkout lower level — two bedrooms, a flex room/den, a roughed-in wet bar, and a 3-piece bathroom with steam shower, opening to a coloured concrete patio with in-floor heat continuing through the level. Outside, a cedar firepit pergola, private outdoor sauna, and Gemstone-lit deck round out an outdoor living space built for every season. Practical infrastructure matches the finishes: attached heated 3½ car garage with 2 EV chargers and in-floor heat, a detached 1440 sq ft insulated/heated shop w/storage room, a separate RV area for visitors, with septic and 220-amp service, a razphalt driveway, well and septic systems. Set among native wildflower meadows with resident deer, eagles, and migrating Trumpeter Swans passing the lake each spring and fall — ten minutes to Cochrane, 45 to Canmore, minutes from Ghost Lake. A setting that's genuinely hard to find twice. Make your private appointment to view this special property. More detailsListed by Royal LePage Benchmark- DIANE RICHARDSON

How to Think About Location

What to Check Before Buying an Airdrie Acreage
A good acreage near Airdrie should feel peaceful, but it also needs to work in everyday life. Before you fall in love with the view, take time to understand the home, land, services, access and maintenance needs. Those details are what make rural ownership enjoyable instead of stressful.
Water Source
Ask how the property gets water, how reliable the supply has been, what the ongoing costs look like and whether the setup fits your household or land-use plans.
Septic System
Find out where the septic system is, how old it is, how it has been maintained and whether it suits the home as it is used today.
Commute & Road Access
Look at the driveway, road type, winter access and how often you will drive to Airdrie, Calgary, school, work, groceries and appointments.
Land Use
Think about what you want to do on the land. Animals, gardens, shops, storage, equipment, home-based work and future building plans may all need a closer look before you buy.
Shops & Outbuildings
A shop, garage, shed or shelter can be a major benefit if it is useful and in good shape. Check power, doors, roof condition, floor, access and how the space could actually be used.
Privacy & Yard Comfort
Pay attention to trees, shelter, neighbouring properties, noise, exposure, fencing and whether the yard feels comfortable for the way you want to live.
A Useful Showing Tip
When you view an acreage near Airdrie, spend as much time outside as inside. Walk the yard, look at the driveway, notice the road noise, check the shop or outbuildings and picture a normal week there. If the property feels good on ordinary days, not just perfect showing days, that is a good sign.
Before writing an offer, Diane’s guides on well and septic inspections, acreage utilities, Alberta land zoning and acreage and farm financing can help you feel more prepared.
