Some homes are impressive. A select few are irreplaceable. 12231 Lake Louise Way belongs firmly in the latter category. It is rare to find a property where the lot, setting & craftsmanship align at such an extraordinary level. This is the home in Lake Bonavista that is referenced when conversations turn to the community’s most exceptional properties, & without question, it will be one of the landmark residential offerings to come to market in Calgary in 2026. Positioned on arguably the most coveted lakefront lot, this estate offers 6358 SF (above grade) of timeless space with breathtaking SW views across the water, delivering the most spectacular sunsets. Built with a rare level of quality, the home has an enduring presence that feels as relevant today as when it was built. Beyond the entrance, you are welcomed into a series of beautiful spaces that balance scale & sophistication. The living areas are complemented by extensive millwork, soaring ceilings, rich detailing & a level of craftsmanship that would be incredibly difficult to replicate today. AN ELEVATOR CONNECTS ALL 3 LEVELS providing convenient access throughout the home for those who prefer to avoid stairs. The library is nothing short of spectacular. It stands as one of the most impressive rooms you will encounter in any home. Rich detailing, extensive millwork, soaring proportions & a timeless design aesthetic combine to create a space with unrivalled warmth & character.

An exceptional COLLECTION OF FURNISHINGS, thoughtfully curated over many years to complement the home’s architecture & interiors, may also be available/negotiable. The walko ut level (4042 SF) continues the home’s theme of craftsmanship, offering a collection of spaces that feels more like a luxury retreat than a basement. Featuring detailed finishes, expansive gathering areas, a beautiful bar & lounge space, games/rec space & access to one of the property’s most remarkable features, the lakeside grotto. The outdoor environment is equally extraordinary. Extensive landscaping creates a setting that feels more reminiscent of a luxury resort than a private residence.
