Set on 157 private acres in Mountain View County near Water Valley, this impressive country estate offers a stunning log home, quality outbuildings, productive hay land, and the year-round beauty of Big Prairie Creek winding through the property. A scenic, secluded driveway leads to a quiet homestead surrounded by willow, spruce, and poplar—an ideal rural escape with endless outdoor opportunities.
The 5,583 sq ft log home, built in 1981 with a 2004 basement renovation, is bright, warm, and welcoming. South-facing windows flood the main living area with natural light, complemented by a stone wood-burning fireplace. Features include hardwood floors, custom oak kitchen cabinetry, in-floor basement heat, a gas fireplace in the office, four bedrooms, and a master suite with private balcony. A versatile 30' x 40' office/recreation room enhances functionality. The home also offers a large mudroom, a 3-piece main bath, powder room and ensuite upstairs, and a renovated basement bath with jet tub. Services include a private 90' well with iron filter/softener, septic tank with field, natural gas, and 100-amp power.
Decks and balconies overlook the farmyard and Big Prairie Creek, offering peaceful, year-round views. Quality log construction and a solid cement foundation ensure lasting durability while maintaining timeless character.
The outbuildings are exceptional. The 32' x 48' heated shop features 18' ceilings, cement floor, steel exterior, radiant heat, built-in workbench, storage shelving, and an 11' x 17' sliding door—ideal for equipment or mechanical work. The 36' x 72' barn includes a finished 23' x 36' man-cave/meat-processing area with cabinets, gas fireplace, radiant heat, sink, and 9' x 7' walk-in cooler. The main insulated 48' x 36' barn space has forced-air heat, stock water, steel panels (included), its own 80' well, two hydrants, three automatic waterers, and a corral system. Another waterer is located in the hay fields.
Additional structures include a 24' x 40' insulated four-car garage with radiant heat and two 17' x 8' overhead doors, a 36' x 70' canvas quonset with gravel floor, and a 19' x 40' insulated wooden barn with propane radiant heat.
Approximately 30 acres produce around 75 tons of hay annually, with another 20 acres in summer fallow and 10 acres seeded to clover, alfalfa, and timothy. A spring-fed one-acre pond holds roughly 850,000 gallons. An electric gate secures the entrance, and the front corral area is well arranged for livestock.
Combining privacy, mature timber, productive land, quality improvements, and the scenic flow of Big Prairie Creek, this property delivers the ultimate rural lifestyle just a short drive from Cochrane, Sundre, and Calgary.More details
