Imagine Gated Kananaskis Type Living on the Elbow River - yet only 25 Minutes to Downtown Calgary and less than 10 minutes to Calgary's Westside Amenities! Privately tucked among mature trees in Mountain River Estates, this remarkable estate offers the kind of setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by established landscaping and natural beauty, the property feels completely removed from the city, with expansive grounds, a circular driveway, private sport court and exceptional space for entertaining both indoors and out. Offering 4,620 sq. ft. above grade, the home is filled with craftsmanship and architectural detail. Rich hardwood flooring, extensive custom millwork, panelled walls and substantial trim create a warm, timeless interior, beginning with the impressive foyer and grand staircase. The showpiece of the main floor is the extraordinary two-storey dining room. At approximately 461 sq. ft., this dramatic gathering space features soaring ceilings, multiple chandeliers, a massive floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace and expansive windows overlooking the surrounding trees. An upper-level gallery opens to the space below, adding even more architectural presence. The kitchen is equally substantial, with extensive wood cabinetry, granite countertops, generous prep space and a large centre island. A bright breakfast area captures views across the property, while separate family and living rooms provide more intimate spaces to relax. The main level also includes a 217 sq. ft. sunroom, large mudroom and laundry room, adding plenty of practical space for everyday acreage living. Upstairs, the primary retreat is impressively scaled with a large walk-in closet and expansive 5-piece ensuite. Two additional bedrooms are joined by a den, dedicated gym and an exceptional 339 sq. ft. office, giving the upper level remarkable flexibility for working from home, fitness or additional family space. The developed lower level adds two more bedrooms, a huge recreation room with fireplace, dining area, bar and a dedicated wine cellar, creating another complete level for entertaining, guests or extended family. Outside, the acreage is every bit as impressive as the home. Mature evergreens create outstanding privacy around expansive lawns, gardens and outdoor living areas, while the private sport court adds a recreational feature rarely found at this scale. The oversized 843 sq. ft. garage provides excellent room for vehicles, storage and acreage equipment. Ownership here extends well beyond the home itself. The property includes a 1/16 share of 289 acres of picturesque communal land, with access to community barns, a riding arena and a shared water system. Residents can enjoy an extensive network of trails and pathways, river access and countless opportunities to experience the outdoors. A truly distinctive estate combining privacy, substantial living space, craftsmanship and exceptional grounds in one of the area's established acreage settings.
