Rural Alberta Estate Serves Optimal Indoor-Outdoor Living

In the heart of Alberta’s Kneehill County, just an hour from Calgary and YYC International Airport, a rare 160-acre estate blends architectural refinement with the quiet serenity of prairie living.

Designed for multigenerational living, a boutique retreat, or as a private rural residence, 240046 284, Rural Kneehill County offers a scale and versatility seldom seen on the market.

The 13,000+ sq. ft stone-clad main residence is a study in craftsmanship, from its rich cherry oak mouldings and custom cabinetry through to the Cheryl Wagner gold hardware.

Crestron smart technology, soaring ceilings, and seven gas-lit wood-burning fireplaces create a home that is as sophisticated as it is welcoming. Each of the seven bedrooms includes a private ensuite and direct access to an outdoor patio, inviting the surrounding landscape into life’s daily rhythms and routines.

A newly built enclosed solarium extends that connection year-round, bathing gatherings in natural light while framing panoramic prairie views — no matter the weather.

Our Favourite Thing

The solarium has us smitten — a sunlit, all-season space that dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, offering a front-row seat to Alberta’s spectacular prairie skies. If we called this dwelling “home,” this space would be our most frequently visited.

Wellness is woven into the lower level, with a private gym, steam room, and spa, while the chef’s kitchen — complete with granite countertops, a butler’s pantry, and a secondary mess kitchen — is equally suited to intimate meals or large-scale entertaining. A three-car garage and nanny/in-law suite add further flexibility.

Beyond the main home, a secondary 3,000-sq.-ft residence provides additional space for guests, extended family, or on-site staff.

A heated 180-by-80-foot machine shop offers endless potential — from equestrian facilities to an event venue. Built with self-sufficiency in mind, the property features 22,000 gallons of water storage, an automatic backup generator, cold storage, and even a helicopter landing pad.

Multiple terraces, a built-in outdoor kitchen, and uninterrupted views of wide-open skies make outdoor living as immersive as the interiors.

Indeed, this is a property where privacy, preparedness, and elegance meet. It’s a landmark estate ready to welcome a new family to its helm.
