MOTIVATED SELLERS!!! Nestled quietly in the beautiful Cypress Hills, Elkwater is a year-round recreational garden of delights. Only a 40-minute drive from Medicine Hat, this flourishing resort oasis offers an abundance of vacation activities: boating, water skiing, fishing, biking, golf and hiking in the summer; skating, downhill and x-country skiing in the winter. This impressive 1,122 sq.ft. 2 bedroom / 2 bath condo is located in Elkwater Lake Lodge, which offers a delightful restaurant, pool, hot tub, fire pit and room service. The main unit boasts the popular open floor plan, which is awash in natural light flooding in from the numerous windows. A fully stocked kitchen offers an abundance of cupboards, an upgraded double sink and high-end faucet, and the 2-seat island and countertops have been re-done in granite. A separate dining area abuts a spacious living room, which comfortably sits 6 people and features a river stone gas fireplace. A generous wraparound deck (with gas hookup) is accessed via the living room and affords a quiet, relaxing retreat to "chill out" and take in the wooded views. A large bedroom and a 4-piece bathroom with a soaker tub completes the main unit. The adjoining studio suite, which also has a separate entrance, offers a spacious bedroom (kingsize bed) with access to a private deck, along with a coffee bar, mini-fridge, microwave and sink, and a 3-piece bath. This ideally located condo is only a short walk to the downtown marina, sandy beach, lake, restaurant and popular cafe. Priced ridiculously below assessed value, this is a solid investment opportunity for a single family or even as a group venture. Furthermore, this Phase 1 condo is part of a revenue generating rental pool. Owner is allowed 120 days usage throughout the year with the remaining time available in the rental pool. THE OWNER RECOUPS 60% OF ANY RENTAL REVENUE, WHICH BASICALLY PAYS THE MONTHLY CONDO FEES AND ELECTRIC BILL. It comes with all the appliances and is fully furnished. This "must see" property is an all-season getaway at a very affordable price! (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).
