260011 Mountain Ridge Place, Rural Rocky View County

Nestled on 4.8 acres just minutes from downtown Cochrane, this exceptional country retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and convenience. From the moment you walk through the front door, you are greeted by breathtaking mountain views that draw you through the home and connect every living space to the outdoors. The entry opens to warm, vaulted wood ceilings with exposed timber beams and skylights that flood the interior with natural light, visually reinforcing that indoor/outdoor connection. The 2,346 sq. ft. residence combines timeless charm with a functional open-concept design. The welcoming foyer provides plenty of space for coats and boots before flowing into the heart of the home—an inviting kitchen and living area framed by expansive windows. The kitchen, boasting the best vantage point in the house, looks straight out over the porch to the mountains and Bow River, ensuring the view is always the backdrop to daily life and entertaining. The kitchen features a large center island with breakfast bar seating, pendant lighting, granite counters and stainless steel appliances, plus generous cabinetry and a practical layout for entertaining. The adjacent living room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a media niche above and wide picture windows/doors that open to the covered porch and expansive views. On the south wing, the sun-filled primary bedroom creates a private retreat, while the secondary bedroom enjoys its own ensuite. The primary ensuite offers a luxurious soaking tub positioned to take advantage of the views, a double-sink vanity with dark wood cabinetry, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Outdoors, over $100K in newly planted trees enhance the beautifully landscaped grounds, surrounding a peaceful pond and hot tub, and creating a serene, park-like environment. A covered porch off the main living area provides a sheltered spot to enjoy those mountain vistas and easy access to the grounds. For hobbyists and car enthusiasts, the triple attached garage—currently serving as a workshop—plus an additional detached garage provide plenty of space and flexibility. The attached garage is well lit with overhead fixtures, offers built-in shelving and work space, and features convenient stair access into the home. The renovated walkout basement expands the living space with a spacious entertaining area, bar/kitchen, laundry room, sauna, and two bedrooms on opposite ends for maximum privacy. The finished lower level includes a well-appointed wet bar/counter seating area and abundant room for media and recreation, and the basement bedrooms have large windows providing natural light and egress. With its layout, this level also holds excellent potential for a secondary suite (subject to municipal approval and permitting). Practical features like in-floor heating powered by an impressive boiler system and a dedicated furnace room make acreage living comfortable and efficient year-round. Rich hardwood floors, tile floors in wet areas, and extensive wood trim and finishes throughout the home lend warmth and character while remaining highly functional. For those who want wide-open spaces, serenity, and iconic Rocky Mountain views—without sacrificing quick access to town—this property is a rare find. (id:1945)
