7 Helms Ridge

Set amidst a tranquil forest, this exceptionally private acreage is a rare find, offering a peaceful retreat with breathtaking mountains beyond. Just 20 minutes north of Cochrane, at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, a tree-lined driveway leads to a clearing that features a walkout bungalow and an oversized garage/shop. This open-concept bungalow showcases a generous living room highlighted by a cozy wood-burning stove. The adjacent dining room offers patio doors that lead to a stunning wrap-around deck. A vaulted ceiling and a west-facing wall of windows flood the home with abundant natural light. The kitchen is equipped with a corner pantry, a raised eating bar, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove. Completing the upper level are three bedrooms and a main four-piece bathroom, with the primary bedroom having a private three-piece ensuite. The finished walkout basement boasts a large family room with space for a home office, a laundry room, and a fourth bedroom with a luxurious cheater ensuite, complete with a separate step-in shower and relaxing soaker tub. Polished concrete floors with in-floor heating efficiently warm both the basement and the entire house. The oversized garage/shop is perfect for storing vehicles or recreational toys and comes equipped with a second wood-burning stove and gas heater to keep it warm year-round. Outside, a large cleared area provides plenty of space for RV parking or room for kids and animals to play and explore. This well-cared-for property is highlighted by a tin metal roof and septic tank with filtration chambers and mound. Additionally, it includes an invisible fence, providing peace of mind by keeping your dog safe and close to home. A property like this, set in such an idyllic location, is truly a rare opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own your own piece of paradise! (id:54626)
