Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Exchanges currently on hold as we have our acreage listed for sale. We will update once we have settled, Thank you! Beautiful large home on 68 acres in the Foothills of Alberta, Canada. We have recently updated most of the main living area to a fresh farmhouse style. We have a large kitchen, eating area, and family room with lots of windows. 2 bedrooms on the main floor including the master suite. Our basement has many books for your enjoyment, movie area, ping pong table and exercise equipment. 3 large bedrooms are in the basement; 2 kids rooms - (one with a double bed, and one a queen and twin bunk) and a guest room with a queen bed. The basement also has a bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Feel free to walk, bike or ski 10 km of trails in our backyard. Enjoy your morning coffee on our deck listening to the birds chirping while enjoying the mountain view or a local beer in the evening with a beautiful sunset. We have a large back patio with table and chairs and an outdoor couch/seating area. The front of our home has a large patio with an outdoor gas fire pit to enjoy. We also have a large fire pit in our backyard you can use for cooking or visiting. Children are welcome to use the trampoline, play fort, zip line, and swing set on our land.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We have beautiful hiking, dirt biking, horse riding, and biking trails 10-15 min drive from our home in the beautiful Kananaskis mountains. We are situated 30 min drive to Calgary City, 1.5 hr drive to Banff, Alberta, 10 min to local town Priddis or Bragg Creek. Bragg Creek is a quaint small town on the river with restaurants, shops, yoga, mountain bike rentals, and walking paths. Bragg Creek is beautifully nestled in the trees and mountains with a creek running through it. We have gorgeous campgrounds/hiking with lakes and rivers in Kananaskis only 10-15 min from our home. Or drive to the Kananaskis Nordic Spa for an amazing relaxing outdoor hot sauna and hot pools experience.
In the summer we enjoy the local farmer markets or rodeos. There are many horseback riding adventures in our area, even on our own land (we could arrange a trainer to come and ride with you). Black Diamond is another hot spot only a half an hour drive away with award winning breweries and restaurants. You can stop and check them out on your way to the historic Bar U Ranch.
You cannot forget the greatest outdoor show in the world! The Calgary Stampede and Stampede Breakfasts is the first 2 weeks of July every year.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

We spend a lot of time enjoying activities on our land. We ski, hike, bike, horseback ride, dirt bike, all on our own property. But I do love to head into Bragg Creek for a coffee and shopping or a nice evening walk with dinner at the Italian Farmhouse. We are happy to help connect you with attractions that suite your needs. We are also only a 30 min drive into the city. Calgary has many beautiful areas, restaurants, museums and is well known for the Calgary Stampede (Rodeo).
You cannot miss a trip to Banff or Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. Wether you ski, hike, skate, shop or just like to eat - it is an absolute must see. The views, the mountains and the crystal blue lakes are stunning. You can skate on Lake Louise, ski the mountain or visit the ice sculptures in the winter. Or hike to the tea house at Lake Louise in the summer (just don't forget to take cash- no credit or debit machine at the tea house).
We also enjoy heading into Black Diamond. Its a quaint small town 30 min drive with lots to do. My kids love to swim at the outdoor pool, bike or walk the friendship trail, swim in the river, get ice cream from Marv's Diner. Also, they have a first class golf course called the Turner Valley Golf Course. This town has many great restaurants, bakeries, artist and shops. The Bar U Ranch- 10 min from Black Diamond it a Historic Cowboy Ranch that brought the Percheron Horses to Canada. Its a real experience, you get to practice your cowboy skills and learn the old ranching ways. Its a true Alberta Experience!
