Striking Alberta Home Brings Modern Opulence To The Alpines

In the rugged heart of Alberta’s Bow Valley, where wilderness meets refined living, 118 Cairns Landing stands as a rare expression of mountain luxury.

Located within Cairns Landing — Canmore’s only gated community — this estate spans more than 25,000 sq. ft of pristine alpine land and captures uninterrupted views of the Three Sisters, Ha Ling Peak, and the Fairholme Range. It’s a property that offers solitude and grandeur in equal measure, just minutes from downtown Canmore and framed by the edge of Banff National Park.

With more than 4,000 sq. ft of interior living space across the main house and a private one-bedroom guest residence, the home marries timeless materials with clean, contemporary form. The great room anchors the design — a soaring, open-concept space that spills onto over 1,000 sq. ft. of elevated outdoor living. Whether you’re catching the first light on the peaks or winding down with guests over a glass of wine, this space is calibrated for every season, every hour.

Inside, the home’s interiors are restrained but striking: natural textures, tailored finishes, and expansive glass walls blur the boundary between indoors and out. The aesthetic is both polished and welcoming — a place where post-ski evenings and summer barbecues feel equally at home.

Specs

Rare for the region, the home also boasts a private outdoor pool — an unexpected resort-style indulgence in a mountain town known for its wild terrain. The outdoor areas are oriented with care to maximize sun exposure and alpine vistas, while maintaining the privacy that defines the gated Cairns Landing enclave.

Our Favourite Thing

The heated outdoor pool is an uncommon — and unforgettable — feature in the Bow Valley. Positioned to soak up both sun and sweeping views, it’s the kind of detail that transforms a mountain getaway into a year-round lifestyle.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either. A heated five-car garage ensures room for vehicles, adventure gear, and collectible toys, while a separate guest house provides autonomy and comfort for visitors or extended stays.

The location is as much a part of the story as the home itself. Just steps from the Bow River pathway and minutes to world-class fly fishing, biking trails, and untouched backcountry, this estate places Canada’s most iconic wilderness at your feet — with the town’s best restaurants, cafés, and shops only a short ride away.

Designed as a legacy home for those who seek alpine quiet without compromise, 118 Cairns Landing offers an unmatched mix of architecture, setting, and access.
