306216 48 Street W — Rural Foothills County, Alberta

Imagine easing into the morning from the spa-style hot tub, coffee in hand, watching the eastern sky come alive as the sun rises over the Foothills and elk move across the distant landscape. Spend the afternoon working on your golf game, practicing archery, saddling up for a ride, or simply enjoying 20 acres of space that is entirely your own. When winter arrives, build a skating rink, bring out the skates and hockey sticks, or strap on your cross-country skis and follow the perimeter of the property as the landscape settles into winter. This is the kind of property where the lifestyle isn't something you drive to, it's something you live every day. Perfectly situated just northwest of Okotoks, this private 20 acre property offers the freedom of country living with an easy connection to Calgary and all the amenities of town just minutes away. Whether you're an experienced equestrian looking for room for your horses, dreaming of learning to ride, or simply looking for the space to create the acreage lifestyle you've always imagined, the possibilities here are hard to replicate. The home has been extensively updated and thoughtfully improved, combining warmth, character and modern comfort. The 2023 renovation introduced wide-plank engineered oak flooring, beautiful millwork, crown moulding, faux fir ceiling beams, renovated bathrooms, a completely reimagined kitchen, built-in cabinetry and a new gas fireplace. Major systems have also been addressed, including a new roof in 2026, high-efficiency furnace and air conditioning, new well pump, septic pump and complete replacement of the home's Poly-B plumbing with PEX. The basement has just been completed with new carpet and fresh paint, while the oversized triple-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment and all the toys that come with acreage living. Outside, the improvements make the land as functional as it is beautiful. Extensive grading, landscaping, retaining walls, concrete patios a nd stairs, an upgraded recycled asphalt driveway and expanded parking create an inviting arrival and enhance the usability of the property. Three horse shelters with attached tack rooms, paddock fencing and an extended driveway create an ideal setup for equestrian living, while the expansive acreage leaves plenty of room to continue making the property your own. Most importantly, there is a feeling here that is difficult to put on a feature sheet. It's the quiet of the morning, the changing seasons, the sight of elk in the distance, the freedom to step outside and do something you've always wanted to do, and the comfort of knowing there is room for whatever comes next. Private Foothills living, minutes from Okotoks, with the space to ride, ski, play, explore, entertain and simply enjoy life. This is acreage living the way it was meant to be. (id:63357)
