28.886 acres (11.69 hectares) of unspoiled rolling grasslands – native grasses, wildflowers, aspen and pine trees – home to elk, deer, a badger, and meadowlarks, bluebirds, hummingbirds, hawks and endless stars. The property is zoned RR-4, Rural Residential (Hobby Farm) and is subdividable (minimum lot size of 9.884 acres). To the west and the south, the neighbouring properties are in the Agricultural Land Reserve (cannot be developed).

A long, private gated drive ensures privacy, yet amazingly, the Cranbrook Airport is only five minutes away. Access to the main highway is quick and the Cranbrook Hospital is about a twelve minute drive (privacy, wilderness without remoteness).

   

The home’s plan is an open concept design. The main floor includes a vaulted great room, highlighted by a two-storey natural river rock fireplace. The “unfitted” kitchen features stainless steel appliances (including a professional series gas range), hammered copper hood fan and cabinet fronts, black walnut cabinets, pine armoire-pantry and island. Granite countertops complete the look. The view from the kitchen was specially designed to ensure that the peak of Mount Fisher is visible.

The dining room features a wall of French doors that open to the ultimate cedar deck – three-sided, 200-foot perimeter, with see-through wrought iron. Entertain straight from the kitchen, dining room or sneak away through the master bedroom for a quiet moment. There is always shade or sun – just pick your spot!

A walk-through pantry with solid pine cabinets ensures plenty of main floor storage, including room for a large chest freezer.

But the show-stopper is the master bedroom and bath – an oasis of pleasure from life’s stresses. Soak in the six-foot cast iron clawfoot tub perched on a slate covered platform or relax in the steam shower. Then retire to the expansive master bedroom and enjoy the fireplace – surrounded by a walnut built-in bookcase with hand-forged copper mantle and slate surround.

Upstairs, three expansive bedrooms offer up stunning views. Two of the rooms open onto their own small decks and all have built-in cabinets and large walk-in closets. The bathroom features a 40” wide shower, soaker tub, and custom-crafted black walnut vanity. The adjacent laundry room could be billed as the most beautiful laundry room ever – and practical. Imagine stunning views while folding clothes and rarely having to trundle laundry up and down stairs. (Room could easily be converted to an artist’s studio.)

 

There are two more guest rooms, a bathroom with shower, a cold storage room, large office space and generously-size open entertaining area complete with cozy fireplace and hydronically heated floors (main floor too).

The utility room is most guy’s dream room. Two 40-gallon gas domestic hot water tanks, one 60-gallon bladder tank, one 120-gallon reverse osmosis unit, one water softener, steam shower unit, built-in vacuum and the impressive geothermal heating/cooling system (energy from the ground for heating and energy returned to the ground for cooling) backed up with natural gas forced air. There are 2 main 240-volt (200-ampere) supplies. (Main electrical supply has been placed underground to protect the view.) The system is designed for future solar use. (There are also 2 wells – one supplying the barn and lower area, the other providing excellent tasting water to the house.)

After entertaining, guests can retire to the romantic loft suite over the log garage. The loft is also an open, vaulted design with clawfoot tub, heated tile floor (bathroom), kitchenette, and gas fireplace. The view of the neighbouring lake is stunning from the private covered deck – at night there is just the single light of a faraway ranch.

Though beautiful, the home cannot compete with its’ environs – 360-degree mountain views, privacy, elk playing in your yard. And without the downside of a remote rural location, this location is truly a rare find.

 

Getting there: five minute drive from Cranbrook Regional Airport, serviced by Air Canada. Forty-five minute flight from Calgary, Alberta and one hour flight from Vancouver, B.C. Four hour drive from Calgary and one hour from Fernie, B.C.
