Wake up to crisp mountain air and majestic forested views... This is a rare opportunity to own 4.26 acres in the North Nordegg Subdivision, zoned Nordegg Tourist Recreation District (NTR). The land use bylaw permits 1 conventional residence / single family residence and allows owners to develop the parcels to accommodate resort facilities such as country inn/resort lodge, bed and breakfast inn, and resort cottages (“Resort cottages” means a cluster of four to eight guest cabins), and/or outdoor recreation/tourism operations. The property was strategically developed, with a solar passive design and captivates the magnificent views of the mountains to the west Mt. Coliseum, and the Nordegg ridgeline, to the north and south. The property is fully serviced with a private well and septic tank/field/mound and is useable year-round. The services were designed with future development in mind which would allow a new owner to add additional cabins and/or garage. The acreage is FireSmart and has numerous outdoor sitting spaces to gather as well as several designated walking paths leading to the Shunda Creek Meadows. The home is tucked into the trees hidden from the view of the cul-de-sac. The house is an a-frame 1 1/2 storey style cottage boasting an open floor plan in the main living space complimented with vaulted ceilings. On the main floor, there is a fully equipped kitchen, laundry area, 4-piece bathroom and 2 bedrooms, and access to the 5ft crawl basement area that facilitates extra storage and supplies. Upstairs is a cozy loft with a 2nd 4-piece bathroom that showcases a beautiful claw-foot tub with a private forest view. Pamper yourself with a soothing soak after a day of exploring! The primary suite is spacious and offers a walk-in closet, dormer storage, and a sitting area in front of the window to curl up and enjoy the scenery. Enjoy your morning coffee on the large wrap-around patio overlooking the well-groomed yard. Enjoy endless hours of relaxation and laughter around the firepits! The ‘Main Firepit' is nestled in the trees close to the cottage with peek-a-boo views of Coliseum Mountain and the ‘Sheltered Firepit’ is built into a hill on the edge of the property. Directly West along the property boundary, you will find a log-lined, guided path to Shunda Creek Meadows which connects to miles of marked hiking/walking/cross-country ski paths. Take an easy, flat 15-minute walk to Shunda Creek for a picnic by the babbling brook or trek deeper into the crown land trails. You will not find another property in the area that boasts 4.26 acres of treed privacy all to a single cottage AND that backs directly onto Crown Land.
