Get away from the hustle and bustle in this affortable rustic seasonal cabin only 45 MINUTES NW OF CALGARY, all on pavement except for the last 1 km. Enjoy the sounds of birds chirping in the trees and squirrels scampering around. A seasonal creek is on the west boundary and then a community reserve beyond that, adding to the privacy. The setting is so peaceful on this 2.45 acres of treed land with sloping topography. The quaint hamlet of Water Valley is only 4km away where you'll find a first class Saloon, church events center, hardware store, a general store and more. The cabin was built in 1969, has one small bedroom on the main and a 100ft2 lofted sleeping area for kids. Other sleeping arrangements were created on the main level whcih worked well for this large family. The current owners have owned the cabin for 51 years and used it only seasonally. 100 amp power was brought into the cabin in 1977 allowing for a fridge, stove and lights- the outhouse out back even has a light in it(sory but no heated seat). They brought drinking water from the city- a well could be drilled for much added convenience. The cabin is solidly built on blocks and the painted plywood floor inside is very practical and easy to care for. The layout is open, with a good sized kitchen and counter space. The cabin is heated from a central wood burning fireplace in the living room as well as electric space heaters. Windows all around give great natural light as well as a sliding patio door to the deck. The expansive, well built deck has a SW orientation for those long warm summer evenings. A couple of small out buildings store necessary tools for the property. The owner created a couple of trails extending north through the property and ending at the north boundary with a well built set of wooden stairs, which takes you to the upper trail. The seasonal creek on the west boundary offers exploring options for kids and adults alike. The buyer agrees to accept items left as viewed allowing a ne w owner to occupy the property and have some handy items and furniture to start out with. EXCELLENT VALUE, CLOSE TO CALGARY!! (id:2471)
