Property Description

160 ACRES. PRIVACY. NATURAL BEAUTY. UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. This is a rare opportunity to own 160 acres of beautiful Alberta countryside in the M.D. of Bighorn, where mature forest, open pasture/grassland, rolling terrain and natural beauty come together to create an exceptional private setting. Located along the Highway 40 corridor north of Cochrane, this property puts you at the gateway to the spectacular Ghost River, Waiparous and Rocky Mountain recreational areas, while remaining within easy reach of Cochrane and Calgary. The surrounding area is renowned for its large private holdings, mountain scenery and access to year-round outdoor recreation. Ghost Lake and its recreational opportunities are nearby, while Canmore and Banff are accessible via the Bow Valley corridor. The property itself offers a wonderful mix of treed and open land, providing plenty of room for recreation, horses, livestock, a private country retreat or the creation of a future estate. The existing 1,277 sq. ft. walkout bungalow two-storey features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom, a spacious family room, kitchen, dining area, living room with wood-burning fireplace, den and two large upper decks.

An attached double garage, two wells and septic system are already in place. The property is accessed by private road and there are no neighbors in site. Whether your vision is a private recreational retreat, farming property, family escape, hunting base or a spectacular future country estate, this is an opportunity to secure a substantial piece of Alberta's foothill country and create something truly your own.
