Welcome to Paradise at the foot of the Canadian Rocky Mountains! Tucked away in a secluded valley in the breathtaking southwest corner of Alberta, this extraordinary 4.37 acre property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a piece of the region's ranching history. Just minutes from Waterton Lakes National Park, Castle Mountain Resort and some of the province's most spectacular scenery, this lovingly maintained homestead is where time slows down as Drywood Creek calls you come sit a while, relax in the sunshine, close your eyes and breathe…. Built log by hand-hewn log, in 1900, the original ranch house has been thoughtfully preserved and updated over its 125 year history, including an extensive renovation and two storey addition completed in 2005. Rich wood finishes, original log construction and the home's authentic character create a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The main floor features a bright, southerly sunroom, warmed by a wood burning stove. Through the cased opening, the spacious living room is centred around the original stone fireplace (now natural gas). The true ranch kitchen with adjoining dining area offers ample space for entertaining friends and family. A generous bedroom and an updated three piece bathroom completes the main floor of the original home. The 2005 addition introduced a spacious flex space with laundry, office space or rec room, just off the kitchen, as well as an impressive primary retreat, including exquisite clawfoot tub in the ensuite, and French doors leading to a private deck overlooking Drywood Creek. Fall asleep to the soothing sounds of crystal clear mountain water flowing past your doorstep. Upstairs, the addition continues with a spectacular family room, featuring vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace and access to a second story deck with panoramic creekside views. The original home side upper level offers a charming landing and two additional bedrooms. Outside, the property is equally exceptional. Drywood Creek borders the property, mature trees surround the home and the peaceful setting provides endless opportunities to relax, explore and reconnect with nature. Two fully serviced guest cabins, each complete with heat, water and a three piece bathroom, offer comfortable accommodations for family, friends or visitors. Also included is the original log cabin the family lived in while building the main house, now used for storage and a treasured reminder of the property's remarkable heritage. Whether you're searching for a full time residence, a mountain retreat or a legacy property to share with generations to come, this one of a kind ranch homestead offers an unmatched combination of history, beauty and location in one of Alberta's most sought after landscapes.

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.
