This is absolutely one of the rarest opportunities in Calgary! This spacious walkout bungalow delivers almost 4600 square feet of developed living space (over 5,000 incl. undeveloped) on almost 4 acres of natural seclusion, just steps from the Bow river and the Bearspaw reservoir - yet is only 20 minutes from downtown. It’s an unparalleled combination of lifestyle and features you won’t find anywhere else.
It was designed and custom-built for one of Calgary‘s most accomplished and recognizable local sports legends to provide private executive living while accommodating large-scale entertaining. Today, Mr. Forzani is more frequently elsewhere, making this remarkable property available for you.
The house delivers everything that you could need. From the impressive layout to the amazing views, you must set foot inside the home to fully grasp the fantastic functionality of the design and features. The abundance of natural light, the spacious rooms, the natural flow – all create an immensely livable space that you can make your own with a few simple touches. The kitchen and pantry are fit for a chef, with double ovens & a gas range, plus the huge island, custom cabinets and ample counter space. The living, dining and gathering spaces are equally impressive, while the massive master suite could be a home unto itself. The office immediately off the foyer makes for easy business while at home, and the 4 large additional bedrooms, entertainment room & wet bar the lower level are perfect for a large family or guests with comfortable year-round in-floor heating. The indoor/outdoor livability is enviable, with amazing views from both floors - inside and outside of the home. The oversized triple car garage is also accessible from both the main and lower levels making it convenient for family and guests alike.
Sitting on a ridge bordering coulees, hills & forest, deer and wildlife regularly visit, coming up the property’s private forested ravine – a potential location for a future guest cottage. The topography and adjacent woodland ensure that this spot will remain a private oasis, while the natural areas around the acreage are amazing to explore. A short three-minute walk along a secluded trail leads to a “Kananaskis-in-Calgary” area of pine forest, trails, creeks and rock bluffs. Five minutes further and you’re at the forested edge of the Bow River - perfect for world class angling. If the lake sounds more appealing, a more westerly five-minute trek leads you to the forested bank of the Bearspaw reservoir which allows for everything from a huge 25km kayaking loop, to smaller adventures around the many secluded bays, fishing, and swimming spots immediately nearby. These are lifestyle opportunities that you will not find anywhere else.
Don’t miss out on this incredibly opportunity to own this remarkable home, live in this amazing, private setting, and hold this one-of-a-kind tie to one of Calgary’s most renowned legacies, as epitomized by the very name of the street.
