13.04 Acreage by Lake Diefenbaker — Canaan Rm No. 225, Saskatchewan

This is the kind of home that makes you slow your car down on the way in. Thirteen tree lined acres by Lucky Lake and short drive to Lake Diefenbaker with complete privacy and rolling hills in every direction — and a gorgeous character home that’s been loved into exactly the shape it should be. The romance of an old home is lovely right up until you find out the wiring’s from another era. This one skips that part entirely. Moved to its current spot in 2007 onto a new basement, it’s been brought right up to speed — newer plumbing, wiring, and windows, a high-efficiency furnace (2015), and an on-demand hot water tank (2022). Old soul, modern comforts, which is a rare combination. Inside, it lives big. Soaring ten foot ceilings and tall windows pour light across the main floor, with the countryside framed in every window. The kitchen was remodelled in 2008 with warm maple cabinetry and is roomy enough to actually cook in and made for the kind of meals people linger and connect over. Upstairs, the primary suite comes with its own little loft: a reading nook, a creative corner, a hide-from-everyone spot, whatever you need it to be. Downstairs, the fully finished basement and its nine foot ceilings give you room to spread out — home gym, movie nights, or guests who overstay. Then there’s the land, which is really the whole point. The wrap-around deck (covered and uncovered, so you can chase the shade or the sun) looks out over hills that put on a genuinely good sunset. The yard is fully fenced and ready for livestock, with a pond and a dugout already in place. An old barn and a woodworking shed add the kind of character you can’t build new, and the gardens are just waiting for someone with a green thumb. Natural gas, municipal water, and paved access right to the door mean country living here doesn’t come with the usual country headaches. It’s history, peace, and a whole lot of sky — ready whenever you are. This home is a MUST see in person!! (id:63357)
