Outstanding redevelopment opportunity on one of the most sought-after streets in Canmore. High up on the knoll of Macdonald Place, with unparalleled views in all directions, an iconic lot awaits your inspiration. Walk the cul de sac and witness the incredible architecture of new homes in the area, making the most of the Rocky Mountain landscape. The corner lot orientation provides amazing options for windows and wide open views on three sides. A generous municipal setback in front and beside makes the setbacks appear larger, providing additional privacy. In summer, Ha Ling peak feels close enough to touch. Come winter, the warm morning sun hits the knoll early. Discover what locals have always known, this is the best location in town for views, sunlight, and quiet streets. The Nordic Centre trails are just a short jaunt away; and the forested trails lead you right to the iconic Engine Bridge, Bow River, and downtown. A rare chance to design your dream home in a treasured location. Please note: This property is being sold as a redevelopment opportunity, as-is/where-is/what-is. The Seller makes no representations nor warranties regarding any part of the land nor structures nor appliances thereon. (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.
