Located on Main Street in the Village of Champion, this versatile commercial property offers a unique blend of updated functionality and classic character. The original building, estimated to have been constructed in the 1950s, features a spacious front showroom, reception office, two-piece bathroom, utility room, cubicle-style office area, and kitchenette. The front portion of the building offers ceiling heights of just over 10 feet and is heated with a high-efficiency natural gas furnace. (The original electric heating units remain in place for anyone considering conversion back.) The roof on the original structure is tar and gravel. A major addition was completed in 2023, creating a large wood-frame warehouse/storage area at the rear of the building. This newer section features approximately 13-foot ceilings and a 10-foot overhead door, making it well suited for deliveries, equipment storage, workshop space, or inventory management. While this section is not currently heated, natural gas is available for future development if desired. Outside, the property includes a fenced rear yard offering additional storage or operational space. With flexible potential for retail, office, warehouse, service industry, or mixed-use operations, this property is ready to adapt to a variety of business ideas. The Village of Champion is conveniently located near popular recreational destinations including Little Bow Provincial Park, McGregor Lake, and Twin Valley Reservoir, offering excellent boating, camping, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Champion is also located approximately 45 minutes north of the City of Lethbridge, providing convenient access to larger urban amenities while maintaining small-town Alberta charm. (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).
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.
