I have listed a new property at 40524 Range Road243 in Rural Lacombe County. See details here

Sometimes, opportunity knocks. Other times, it kicks down the door and yells "Over 5200 square feet of living space, perfect for a lodge or bed & breakfast, steps away from beautiful winding Parlby Creek! If that's not enough, no worries, how about a former full commercial greenhouse with storefront and industrial workshop styled like a turn of the century hip-roof barn? Need more still? Let me tell you about the 16X300' livestock shelter with accompanying runs and waterers, insulated 40X60' barn (Not including the 12' lean-to), and three bay heated machinery workshop. All on 28 acres of pristine Lacombe County!" Opportunity is a little intense form time to time, we'll take it from here. Calling all entrepreneurs! At just 3 miles from Clive and 15 minutes to Lacombe this location is ideal for so many uses and has the infrastructure to back it up. The house is exceptionally well constructed with ICF from the footings to the rafters. At seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, a walkout basement, wrap-around deck and open concept great room it is built for a large family or to be used as some sort of lodge/B'n'B. Situated in the side of a hill overlooking picturesque Parlby Creek, with views galore of the water and the rolling countryside, imagine the camping you could offer here? Roll out of your fifth wheel or tent and have morning coffee by the water. The greenhouse was a commercially run success thanks in part to its generous size; 70'X140' of plant space, another 25'X75' heated storefront section (the middle part in the pics), as well as the heated hip-roof barn with timber-frame front entrance. This part of the facility offered home decor and boutique retail space, operations and storage in the back, and a full second level dedicated to industrial woodworking. However, this facility could make for one heck of a venue, with the greenhouse serving as a shelter from the elements in conjunction with offering an abundance of natural light! The baffles on the sides even open for if you wanted to give an event the open air experience. The upper f could make a fantastic suite to house more guests. There has been a newly constructed concrete root cellar added, so if you wanted to go the greenhouse route again there would be an opportunity to store veggies almost year round, farm-to-plate! Take that a step farther with the livestock operations and you could offer an entire balanced diet from this one location. Ideal for sheep but more than suitable for cows, pigs or even horses with its multiple runs. For livestock related activities we have an insulated barn (having the interior metal cladding finished as we speak) and a 34'X100' canvas building to store feed, machinery or more animals. The remaining acres are cultivated to grow cash crops or feed. Lastly, the three bay shop is beautifully set up for maintenance and fabricating as it is heated with high ceilings and a concrete floor. "Choose a line (or lines?) of work that you love and you'll never work a day in your life!"

Be honest, you didn't know we were that high up here! You can stand on your southeast facing covered deck and see all the way across Mirror, a bit of Buffalo Lake and all the way to the other side to Boss Hill.. Incredible! We have an oversized acreage at 4.54 acres which is an anomaly for Lacombe County because everyone knows the cutoff is 4. This home was well built from the start with its walkout basement, big windows and four bedrooms/two bathrooms, but then the owners completely overhauled it in 2016! All new kitchen, wiring, plumbing, lighting, flooring, paint & trim and a bunch of new windows. I'm not done - furnace, electrical service, well pump and alarm system. Hold on, don't rush. The basement got its turn in 2018 with a full facelift, then 2021 rolled around and the house got a new metal roof, an addition on the front plus a covered deck, AC, Hot water tank, pressure tank/switch and well controls/heater. Then the shop was fully finished and had heat and AC installed in there. Then the 24X48 barn got an electrical service. EVEN THE 10X12' GREENHOUSE GOT POWER! We've also got some pens for some animals tucked under some fabulous established trees. It should be noted that the basement walkout has two doors, and one of them could be used solely for a separate suite entrance if you wanted to go that route and offer a rental for someone who loves an amazing view of beautiful Lacombe County. Lastly, you'll live on a locally famous road as it bends around a really pretty pond and the neighbours keep it all pristine, a real park like setting!

I have listed a new property at 322 44101 Range Road 214 in Rural Camrose County. See details here

WARNING: Little Beaver Lake may be the most underrated spots in Central Alberta. It's very pretty, the location is tremendous (Just down the road from Camrose), and yet it's close enough to Buffalo lake that the city folk are going to just keep driving, meaning... the locals get their run of the place! This is a dynamite home, call me a sucker for a walkout, but go stand on that covered deck overlooking the lake and countryside and tell me I'm wrong. Ultra healthy in space at 1280 square feet on the main floor and that again in the downstairs walkout, the main floor is open and the island is large enough to get stranded on and start your own tribe, those island chairs are included as well. The cabinetry is very well done and the showcase cabinets atop the main bank lend the space a real stateliness. The dishwasher, oven and fridge are all within the last two years, and the washer and dryer come to us from one of the greatest years of all time - 2017, and all the major appliances are included as well as the deep freeze and fridge in the basement, plus the window coverings! Three beds on the listing, but in actuality it's four thanks to the bank of rolling closet that I know doesn't make any sense when I write it here but you'll see what we're saying in the pics, the TV's in the bedrooms are included also. Both bathrooms are four-piece and the upstairs is a jacuzzi tub, while the downstairs is a therapeutic tub. Tuck into the downstairs family room with the gas fireplace, where you can enjoy the view even from here for when the movie gets a little slow! Too hot to run the fireplace? Turn on the AC and behold man's dominion over nature. 200 AMP service to the house in case you might want to add a hot tub or something down the road, and central vac plus all attachments to make cleaning the floors easy. The yard is beautifully terraced and landscaped, making a real statement as you drive in. However, it's equal parts form and function as there is a septic tank that flows out to the field thanks to gravity, no pumps to babysit. The acreage is on its own well and has a big cistern to keep you stocked up at all times, with a reverse osmosis system for the drinking water and a charcoal filter for everything else. Now, for the craftsmen and craftswomen in your life, let's look at the double, radiant heated garage. Just over 1000 square feet in there with loads of cabinet space and a welding table. Outside we've got three more handy outbuildings so you don't have to clog up the shop with storage, The incinerator is new since 2021 for household garbage but what I really want to show you, is the area outback... Completely shrouded in by trees, a little clearing drops down over a short ridge and backs against the hill. What could you do with this area? A phenomenal candidate for a fire pit comes to mind, but there are a million things you might want a secluded spot in the woods for, that's up to you! 2.02 acres of excellence. Note* Immediate possession if required

I have listed a new property at 606 Pheasant Close in Pelican Point. See details here

Built in 1981 it had generations of fun in it before it was moved and set up on a brand new foundation in 2007. Now acting as the guest "Cabin" at four bedrooms, two bathrooms, double attached garage and open concept kitchen & living room. Cheers to the next generations who will enjoy this wonderfully storied place. An added bonus, when considering how many homes at the lake have to haul in water in and then haul the end product back out, this estate is on its own well and septic field - The perks of having two acres! Now it gets really interesting, a person can buy this property, or 602 at A2012216. OR as a package at A2012213. These properties are adjacent to the nature trail which links up to the public beach and Marina at Pelican Point just a short (But secluded) walk away. *It's worth noting, there's not really a better candidate for an Air B'n'B than here. Tucked away over at the edge of Pelican point, right on the water, in a place that doesn't historically offer many short term rentals.*

I have listed a new property at 602 & 606 Pheasant Close in Pelican Point. See details here

What an estate we have here! At over 2 acres, including two homes and waterfront on Buffalo Lake, I'd be lying if I said I've seen another one like it.. The first home, a heavyweight at over 3000 square feet comes to us from 2007. Designed to be a place of gathering, the home is focused around two magnificent central spaces. The Great Room on the upper level ties it all together with its high vaulted ceilings, wall of windows towards the lake, and open concept kitchen with real oak cabinets with the castle effect, walk in pantry included. The gas fireplace keeps it cozy and we can enjoy either the front or back deck depending on where the sun is at the time! On the upper levels we've got two wings off each side of the great room, the first; the master suite complete with dual vanity four piece ensuite, walk-in closet, skylight and its own access to the lake facing deck. The other wing, intended to be a secondary bedroom suite with walk in closet, is being used as an office, complete with its own gas fireplace! Downstairs we have a massive Family/Library/Theatre room that ties this floor together, admire the built in oak library. Access to the exterior from three sides of family room, the main entrance, the front side of the home through the enclosed covered patio overlooking the lake, or through the garage. The third wing of the home is titled "The Nanny Suite" and constitutes two more bedrooms and a four piece ensuite. Because the fourth bedroom is accessed through the third we're only listing it as three bedrooms on the listing with a bonus room, but in actuality it has four bedrooms. The fourth and final wing of the house belongs to the double attached, heated garage. This entire manor is built to enjoy views of the lake and is ideal for a large group of family & friends. The second home is actually the original home on this place and sat where the big house does now. Built in 1981 it had generations of fun in it before it was moved and set up on a brand new foundation in 2007. Now acting as the guest "Cabin" at four bedrooms, two bathrooms, double attached garage and open concept kitchen & living room. Cheers to the next generations who will enjoy this wonderfully storied place. An added bonus, when considering how many homes at the lake have to haul in water in and then haul the end product back out, this estate is on its own well and septic field - The perks of having two acres! Now it gets really interesting, a person can buy the entire property, or one home or the other, and those individual listings can be found at A2012216 (602) &A2012212 (606) This estate is adjacent to the walking trail which leads to the public beach and marina at Pelican Point. Buffalo lake is the largest lake south of Edmonton in Alberta. *It's worth noting, there's not really a better candidate for an Air B'n'B than here. Tucked away over at the edge of Pelican point, right on the water, in a place that doesn't historically offer many short term rentals.*
