A Rare Riverfront Sanctuary South of Sundre
Just south of Sundre, tucked away from the world yet close enough for effortless access, lies an acreage unlike anything else on the market — 105+ acres of untouched, private forest with more than one full kilometre of pristine Little Red Deer River frontage. This is not simply land. It is a sanctuary. A place where the sound of rushing water replaces city noise, where old-growth trees stand like quiet guardians, and where every sunrise feels like a moment stolen back from time.
Only just over an hour from both Calgary and Banff, this remarkable property offers the impossible combination of seclusion and convenience — luxury living wrapped in true Alberta wilderness. Protected under a conservation easement, the land’s natural beauty is preserved for generations, yet a generous five-acre development envelope gives you the freedom to design the home, cabin, or retreat you’ve always imagined. Here, you are not restricted — you are invited to create.
Imagine waking up to mist rising off the river… fishing in crystal-clear bends at your doorstep… wandering through stands of spruce and poplar where wildlife quietly passes through… and ending each day under skies so dark you can see the Milky Way.
This is the kind of land people dream about — and rarely find.
Alongside the forested sanctuary is 44+ acres of cultivated farmland, offering open space, productivity, and flexibility. It’s the ideal balance to the riverfront parcel — blending beauty with purpose and giving you room to dream, grow, and create.
Together, these lands form a rare opportunity to own a breathtaking stretch of Alberta wilderness with the freedom to shape its future. A place to escape, explore, and build a legacy — all within easy reach of the mountains and the city.
The Home at the Heart of the Land
Nestled into the trees, the 4,000+ square foot (total) home, lovingly maintained, offers a warm and inviting retreat. Designed to harmonize with its surroundings, the home features expansive windows that frame views of the forest, vaulted ceilings, rich wood accents, and a thoughtful, functional layout. Whether as a full-time residence or a weekend escape, it provides a grounded, peaceful base for a life lived close to nature.
Inside, vaulted ceilings, rich wood accents, and quality craftsmanship elevate the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas. The main floor includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom with bathtub, a second bathroom with shower, and a conveniently located laundry room.
Upstairs, the spacious owner’s suite above the garage enjoys expansive forest views and a large spa-inspired ensuite. This versatile space could also function as a family room, media room, or be divided into two additional bedrooms depending on your needs.
The partially developed walk-out basement adds further flexibility with one bedroom, a full bathroom, and rough-ins for a kitchen and living area — ideal for multi-generational living, a rental suite (subject to approval and permitting by the municipality), or private guest accommodation. A two-car garage and mudroom offer practical storage or a customizable workspace.
A Private Sanctuary for All Seasons
Step outside and the property opens into a world of quiet beauty and endless possibilities. Towering evergreens, sunlit clearings, and the gentle curve of the Little Red Deer River create a setting that feels miles away from everything — yet close enough for weekend escapes or full-time living.
Morning begins on the upper deck with the sound of birdsong and the soft glow of sunlight through the trees. It is the perfect spot for coffee, journaling, or simply taking in the stillness of the forest. By afternoon, the walk-out patio becomes the heart of the home — a natural gathering place for long summer lunches, children playing on the lawn, or peaceful moments watching the river drift by.
Trails wind from the house through old-growth forest and along the riverbank, inviting slow evening walks, family adventures, or quiet solitude. The land offers countless places to set up a hammock, a picnic blanket, or a favourite reading chair. With room for gardens, a greenhouse, or an orchard, it is easy to imagine harvesting vegetables, cutting fresh flowers, or tending raised beds under wide Alberta skies.
Every season brings new ways to enjoy the landscape. Summer means fishing in the river, wandering shaded trails, or cooling your feet in the water. Autumn transforms the valley into a canvas of gold and amber. Winter invites skating, cross-country skiing, and fires under crisp star-filled nights. Spring arrives with the return of wildlife and the soft green of new growth.
Here, outdoor living is not an accessory — it is a way of life. A place to reconnect with nature, entertain family and friends, and create lasting memories in a setting that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
An income-generating natural gas surface lease provides reliable annual revenue. The adjoining 44.48-acre agricultural parcel, already subdivided, expands the possibilities even further — whether for pasture, equestrian facilities, additional residences, agricultural pursuits, or long-term investment. Retain it as part of a larger estate or sell independently.
Just over an hour from Calgary or Banff, this extraordinary estate combines character, versatility, financial opportunity, and lifestyle in one remarkable sanctuary. Whether you envision a conservation-minded acreage, a private recreational retreat, or an enduring heritage property for future generations, this estate offers unmatched potential — and a setting that will stay with you long after you leave.
Now, the opportunity to steward this legacy is yours.
