Built for serious work and storage, the shop features a heavy-duty 5,200 lb concrete floor, 17-foot ceilings, and a 14-foot-wide by 16-foot-high overhead door that easily fits large equipment or an RV. The land itself is already cross-fenced, having originally been set up for alpacas.Outside, you can enjoy the quiet country views from the large front covered deck, or head over to the side covered deck, which is the perfect spot to sit back and watch the sunsets.Inside, the home is built for Alberta winters with R28 insulated exterior walls. The main floor features a comfortable open-concept layout with real hardwood floors running through the living room, a large kitchen, and a big dining area made for family meals.

The primary bedroom provides plenty of space at 16' x 20' and includes a walk-in closet and a 3-piece ensuite, alongside two more main-floor bedrooms. The solid craftsmanship is noticed in the tall wood baseboards and solid wood interior doors. Downstairs, the walk-out basement has its own separate entrance and functions as a full living suite. Thanks to tall ceilings and big windows, the space is bright and welcoming, featuring a second full kitchen, three more large bedrooms, and a family room. The mechanical systems are well-maintained and robust,. A 200-amp electrical service is in the house.
