    Four acres of quiet, less than 30 minutes from downtown Calgary, with mountain views from a wraparound deck and no neighbours close enough to matter. That's the short version of what 114 South Shore Point offers. The long version takes longer to appreciate in person. This 1,833 sq.ft. bungalow has been cared for the way acreage properties deserve to be: updated roof, furnace and A/C, newer kitchen appliances, a fully replaced septic system, and a water heater that's only a few years old. Nothing deferred, nothing waiting for the next owner. The walkout lower level adds another 1,551 sq.ft. of finished living space, including a massive rec room, wet bar, two additional bedrooms, and a den/office that works equally well as a music room or a home workspace. Outside, the yard is landscaped and well-kept, with a water feature, fenced pasture, gas barbecue, and a triple oversized garage with 11-foot ceilings. Two horses are permitted on the property (subject to Rocky View County land-use regulations). The riding mower, snow blower, power washer, and weed trimmer can all be included, the kind of equipment list that usually takes an acreage buyer a full season to build. More details

    Welcome to Eagle Hill, where the Rockies fill your western horizon and the sunsets put on a show every single night. This custom 2025 build sits on two pristine acres and delivers 3,557 sq ft of fully developed living space, 1,757 of it above grade. Step inside to 9'9" ceilings, engineered hardwood, a cozy gas fireplace, and expansive triple pane Pella windows that frame the mountains like artwork and flood the home with natural light from sunrise to that final glow over the peaks. The chef's galley kitchen was designed for people who actually cook, bringing quartz countertops, a dual fuel gas stove, a commercial size fridge, a full wall of custom cabinetry, and travertine tile accents. Two bedrooms on the main floor include a master suite featuring a master bathroom with mountain views. Solid wood interior doors, poplar trim, and porcelain tiled entries speak to the craftsmanship in every corner. These are the details you notice a year in, not just on the first walkthrough. The fully developed 1,800 sq ft basement adds a third bedroom, a 3 piece bath with walk in shower, a spacious family room that easily handles a media setup, games area, or home gym, plus laundry and generous utility and storage space. Thanks to the ICF envelope, the lower level stays warm, quiet, and comfortable year round. Built to last and built to save you money. ICF construction runs full wall to the trusses, giving you exterior walls over 14 inches thick, R80 insulation through the living space and the oversized 27 by 25 double attached garage, and Hardie Board exterior. The result is a home that is remarkably quiet, holds its temperature through cold snaps and summer heat, and costs a fraction of comparable acreage homes to heat. Add the excellent water well, septic system, and 10 Year Structural New Home Warranty, and the peace of mind is built right in. Outside, 1,000 sq ft of covered wraparound deck invites true year round living, perfectly positioned for panoramic sunsets over the Rockies. Covered means you use it in the rain, in the snow, and through the height of summer. The two acres are fully fenced, fully landscaped, and many trees have already been planted and are settling in, with room for a shop, a garden, animals, or simply space and quiet. Eagle Hill gives you the quiet of country living with Sundre and Olds minutes away for every amenity. Custom build, acreage, mountain views, and construction quality at this level rarely arrive in the same package. Homes like this do not come along often. Book your private showing today. More details

    Set on 8.82 acres between the James River Bridge and Sundre, this A-Frame acreage is the kind of place you'll want to slow down for — pasture and mature trees, and enough distance from your neighbors that the view stays yours. On a clear night, watch for the northern lights right from the yard. On a hot day, cool off at the James River, just a few minutes from the property. Inside, the main floor is 759 sq ft with a wood-burning fireplace in the livingroom. The main floor also offers a well-appointed kitchen, a bedroom and office, and a main bathroom where the shower looks out over the acreage. Upstairs, the 423 sq ft loft has a cozy, tucked-away feel — a natural fit for a TV room, an additional bedroom, or a hideaway for the teenagers. A tub and sink are already in place, ready to be reimagined as a wet bar if desired. Downstairs is an additional 738 sq feet with a fully developed rec room currently used by the owners as their primary bedroom — and a separate semi-developed bedroom. There's also a 3-piece bathroom, plus a laundry and storage room. Outside, a 30' x 60' Quonset with a new roof offers real potential as a barn or equipment storage. There are three stalls in the quonset with one that could easily be turned into 2 stalls. Outside features several separate pastures and a paddock. This acreage is ready for horses, goats and chickens. There's even a spot for an RV or bunkie with access to power. All of this just 11 minutes from Sundre, with a 24-hour hospital and schools nearby. The perfect location for your next home! More details
