Welcome to life in Vista Mirage, where quiet streets, endless walking paths, and family-friendly living come together in one of High River's most peaceful settings.Situated on a larger lot and backing directly onto a beautiful green pathway, this home offers the kind of backyard most families wish they had. One direction leads to a playground, the other to the school, community garden, and extensive walking paths. In other words, the kids can burn off energy without you needing to become their full-time chauffeur.Imagine starting your mornings with a coffee in the backyard while watching the neighbourhood come to life. Whether it's evening walks, bike rides with the family, or simply enjoying the open space behind you, this location delivers a lifestyle that's becoming harder to find.Inside, you'll find a bright and functional layout designed for real life—not just for pretty photos. The main floor offers comfortable living and dining spaces that flow naturally together, while upstairs features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a cozy bonus room complete with a fireplace. It's the perfect spot for movie nights, game days, or pretending you'll finally finish that book you've been carrying around for six months.The fully finished basement adds valuable extra living space and can easily serve as a recreation room, home gym, kids' play area, hobby space, or guest retreat.Now, let's address the obvious: this isn't a brand-new showhome fresh from a designer's Instagram page. Some cosmetic updates could certainly take this home to the next level. But that's also part of the opportunity. Instead of paying a premium for someone else's design choices, you have the chance to add your own style and build equity along the way. The expensive items are already helping you out.Major updates include:• New Roof (2023)• New Furnace (2024)• New Refrigerator (2025)• New Dishwasher (2025)• New Microwave (2026)The result? Less worrying about big-ticket mechanical expense s and more freedom to focus on the fun stuff.Located close to schools, parks, walking and biking pathways, and the golf course, this home offers the perfect balance of space, convenience, and community. Whether you're a growing family, a first-time buyer looking for room to grow, or simply someone who values a quieter pace of life, this property is packed with potential.Because sometimes the best homes aren't the ones that are already perfect—they're the ones that give you the opportunity to make them your own.

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).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
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. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider 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.
