Description

A once-in-a-generation opportunity on Lake Bonaventure. Set on just over half an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this remarkable property offers approximately 160 feet of lake frontage on what is arguably one of the most coveted lots on the private lake. Private, serene and beautifully connected to the water, the residence offers more than 7,000 sq. ft. of developed living space, a triple garage, swimming pool, hot tub and remarkable lake views from virtually every room. Lovingly maintained and extensively updated over the years, the home is defined by a warm, calming aesthetic, exceptional craftsmanship and an effortless relationship between indoors and out. The expansive main level unfolds beneath dramatic wood-clad vaulted ceilings, with hardwood flooring, beautiful lighting and custom detailing throughout. At its heart is a spectacular floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, extending from the main living area to the walkout level below and creating a striking architectural focal point around which the home was designed. The chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and generous workspace, complemented by a breakfast nook overlooking the water. Formal dining provides an elegant setting for entertaining, while multiple living spaces surround the central fireplace and take full advantage of the lake setting. Doors across the rear of the home open to an expansive balcony running the length of the residence, blurring the line between interior and exterior and providing an incredible vantage point over the lake, pool and grounds. The main-floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private sitting area, fireplace and tranquil water views. A second bedroom and dedicated office complete the main level. An open staircase leads to a spacious loft overlooking the main living area below. Filled with natural light and lake views, it offers exceptional flexibility as a gym, yoga studio, creative space or simply a quiet place to retreat. The walkout lower level is designed for both entertaining and relaxed family living, opening directly to the pool, hot tub, grounds and lake beyond. The dramatic stone fireplace continues into this level, anchoring a generous recreation area ideal for billiards, games nights and gatherings. A full bar, three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the space. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. The expansive lot, mature landscaping and remarkable shoreline create a level of privacy and space rarely found on Lake Bonaventure. Summer means mornings paddleboarding across calm water, afternoons by the pool and evenings boating on the lake. In winter, step directly onto the frozen lake for a game of shinny, with outdoor heaters making the transition on and off the ice comfortable even on the coldest days. Lake Bonaventure has long been one of Calgary's most exclusive and tightly held lake communities, and properties of this scale, frontage and position rarely become available.
