    The land calls, and "Terra-Maura" answers—a sanctuary of rustic elegance set within the exclusive, gated equestrian community of Square Butte Ranch. Here, where the foothills rise to meet the sky, this custom-built timber-framed bungalow stands as a testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and the quiet majesty of the West. Spanning 4,428 square feet and perfectly positioned on 3.66 private acres, this is more than a home—it’s a retreat, a gathering place, and a gateway to a life well lived. From the moment you arrive, a sense of peace settles in. Towering 24-foot vaulted ceilings and expansive wall-to-wall windows bring the breathtaking western views into every corner of the home, blurring the line between indoors and out. The heart of the house beats in the custom kitchen, where high-end stainless-steel appliances, a spacious pantry, and panoramic vistas make every meal an experience. Flowing seamlessly into the formal dining area, wet bar, and great room—anchored by a grand stone-faced fireplace and exposed cedar beams—this space was designed for both quiet moments and lively gatherings. The primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, offering a spa-like five-piece ensuite with a corner jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, dual vanity, and private access to the sprawling deck. Below, the fully finished walkout basement offers warmth and welcome, with three additional bedrooms—including two with custom-built 7-foot adult bunk beds—alongside a cooled wine cellar, gym, and a three-piece bath with a steam shower. A cozy theater room, comfortable sitting area, and a lofted office space complete the upper level, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. With four bedrooms and the ability to host up to 13 guests, "Terra-Maura" was built for sharing—whether with family, friends, or the quiet company of the land itself. Step outside, and the magic of this place only deepens. A wrap-around balcony with a built-in BBQ invites long evenings under the open sky. A covered patio with a hot tub, a fire pit with a seating area, a playset, a bocce pitch, and a toboggan hill ensure that every season brings new adventures. And when the day fades into twilight, the west-facing views put on a show—sunsets painted in fire and gold, best enjoyed with a glass of wine and the laughter of good company. But the beauty of Square Butte Ranch isn’t just in the land—it’s in the lifestyle. With 480 acres of communal space, residents enjoy access to a professionally managed equestrian facility, barns, pastures, paddocks, an outdoor arena, a saloon, a gym, disc golf, and three stocked fishing ponds that transform into skating and hockey rinks come winter. The endless trails of Kananaskis Country and McLean Creek lie just beyond, offering a playground for hikers, bikers, riders, and adventurers of every kind. And when the call of the city beckons, Millarville, Bragg Creek, Elbow Falls, and the Rockies are just a short drive away, with downtown Calgary only 40 minutes from your door! More details

    The Bragg Creek Trifecta: many properties have one of these three coveted things, but very few have it all! First, a beautiful home. Redesigned by award winning, internationally acclaimed designer, John Haddon, the 3968 sq. ft. of living space was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, inside and out, with the finest materials and craftsmanship. Second, incredible views of the mountains and forest. Given the seclusion and privacy, not a single curtain on any of the 55 windows impedes the breathtaking views afforded from every room. The third and most rare attribute of all, the thing that makes this “the hat trick”, is direct access to Kananaskis Country! That’s right, there is a private gate that connects to one of the most famous, beautiful, backcountry areas in Alberta, where you can hike or bike or ride for days. This home, sitting on 23 acres, is part of a small exclusive development of properties which span a ridge and directly border K-Country - the biggest backyard of all! Entering the home, the first thing you notice is the airy interior space, with cathedral ceilings and huge windows. The slate foyer gives way to Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, flowing throughout the balance of the home. Resisting the urge to immediately rush to the windows and deck system, to the left is the dining room and kitchen with quartz countertops and high-end appliances. Further on are two high-ceiling bedrooms, each with their own access to the wrap-around deck and connected by a large Jack and Jill 5-piece en suite. The upstairs is entirely devoted to the primary suite, which is unparalleled, with the huge windows and private deck all giving a new perspective to the vistas beyond. The 6-piece bathroom and walk-in closet complete this lofty sanctuary. The walk out lower level features a bar, exercise room, office area, expansive rec room with gas fireplace, 3-piece bath, and French doors to the walk-out patio and huge deck beyond. The property is completed by an insulated and drywalled triple car garage. You’re intrigued, I can tell, and further investigation is needed. Explore using our streaming video and 3-D tour; and then take the next step and make the Trifecta your own. More details

    Tucked between Bragg Creek’s forested hills and the open, rolling lands of Priddis, this peaceful acreage holds the kind of life many imagine but rarely find. Just 20 minutes from the south end of Calgary and 40 minutes from Calgary’s downtown core, with direct access via the new Stoney Trail ring road, this home offers both seclusion and connection. The international airport is 50 mins away, yet when you arrive, the noise of the world falls away. Set on over 10 acres of private land, this home was built to hold real life, the kind that’s loud with laughter, filled with motion, and grounded in daily rituals that matter. You have’ll have this piece of forest all to yourself, with neighbouring houses not visible from the property. The only neighbours you will see are deer, grouse, frogs, butterflies,salamanders, and great grey owls, to name a few. You will feel it immediately, the way the kitchen opens wide to the dining and living spaces, how light pours in from all sides, and how every window looks out on something green, quiet, and alive and beautiful. There are eight bedrooms, offering privacy and space for a large family, multi-generational living, or guests who stay long and often. Five bathrooms mean no waiting lines, no crowding just ease. The walkout basement is fully finished, and more than just extra space: it includes a brand-new full kitchen, ideal for an independent family member, long-term visitors, or even shared living arrangements. This lower level opens directly onto the garden and lawn, creating a natural rhythm between indoor and outdoor life. Upstairs, the rooms are restful. Quiet corners. Big windows. Forest views. Main living spaces are grounded by natural materials—wood, tile, soft light. The dining area tells stories of shared meals and long conversations, anchored and surrounded by views of trees and sky. Downstairs, it’s cooler, more private, and perfectly suited to older children, teens, or extended family. The yard is a showstopper and it’s intentional. A fenced vegetable garden, vibrant and productive. A natural pond lined with lilies. Stone retaining walls, hand-built beds, and long sweeps of green lawn designed for bare feet and running dogs. The beautiful landscaping shockingly requires very little maintenance and no watering. The property is fully fenced with natural paddocks for horses. Life spills out here—kids chasing frogs, hands in the dirt, late dinners on the deck as the sun sets through the trees. Bragg Creek is eight minutes west—a hamlet filled with artists, musicians, builders, and those who’ve chosen the Bragg Creek way of life. Priddis is just beyond the hills, where horse properties and old ranching families shape the land. Both communities are known for their sense of place, their welcome, and their refusal to become suburban. Nature is the backbone of daily life here, this is a home, one meant to be used, loved, and filled with people, noise, quiet, and time. A rare chance to root deeply and live beautifully. More details

Reap in the view of the forested valley through the large wall of windows of this large open floor plan, while you curl up beside the wood burning fireplace on those cool summer evenings. The western charm of Solid wood Alder doors, knotty alder cabinets, and scraped hardwood floors flow nicely through the dining room, kitchen and into the sun filled eating area. Enjoy the historic charm of Heartland appliances in the wide-open kitchen that flows into the vaulted Dining room and Living room top off this country feeling. The basement Rec room is like stepping into the neighborhood pub, with wet bar, fridge and microwave, antique pot belly stove, and wide-open views to the park like yard from the walkout patio doors.
