This is the kind of home that makes you slow your car down on the way in. Thirteen tree lined acres by Lucky Lake and short drive to Lake Diefenbaker with complete privacy and rolling hills in every direction — and a gorgeous character home that’s been loved into exactly the shape it should be. The romance of an old home is lovely right up until you find out the wiring’s from another era. This one skips that part entirely. Moved to its current spot in 2007 onto a new basement, it’s been brought right up to speed — newer plumbing, wiring, and windows, a high-efficiency furnace (2015), and an on-demand hot water tank (2022). Old soul, modern comforts, which is a rare combination. Inside, it lives big. Soaring ten foot ceilings and tall windows pour light across the main floor, with the countryside framed in every window. The kitchen was remodelled in 2008 with warm maple cabinetry and is roomy enough to actually cook in and made for the kind of meals people linger and connect over. Upstairs, the primary suite comes with its own little loft: a reading nook, a creative corner, a hide-from-everyone spot, whatever you need it to be. Downstairs, the fully finished basement and its nine foot ceilings give you room to spread out — home gym, movie nights, or guests who overstay. Then there’s the land, which is really the whole point. The wrap-around deck (covered and uncovered, so you can chase the shade or the sun) looks out over hills that put on a genuinely good sunset. The yard is fully fenced and ready for livestock, with a pond and a dugout already in place. An old barn and a woodworking shed add the kind of character you can’t build new, and the gardens are just waiting for someone with a green thumb. Natural gas, municipal water, and paved access right to the door mean country living here doesn’t come with the usual country headaches. It’s history, peace, and a whole lot of sky — ready whenever you are. This home is a MUST see in person!! (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
