56 Lakeview Drive, Rural Ponoka County

Located just minutes from the lakeside community of Sylvan Lake, this beautifully maintained acreage offers the perfect blend of country charm and modern convenience. The property is designed for low maintenance, with a no-maintenance exterior, gravel landscaping with underlay, mature apple trees, and inviting outdoor spaces (gravel yard framed by established evergreen windbreaks and a clear level area for seating and parking). A 48” steel firepit with removable grill, log bench, clothesline, and multiple natural gas hookups make the outdoors as functional as it is enjoyable. The 1,400 sq. ft. main level is warm, bright, and thoughtfully laid out. Maple hardwood and tile floors flow throughout, complemented by large windows and skylights that fill the home with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring solid maple KraftMaid cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a large island with sink and seating for four (raised bar area with pendant lighting), switched under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances (visible stainless hood and range) with a tasteful tile backsplash. The open dining and sitting area leads through double patio doors to a 40’ x 14’ pressure-treated deck—half covered with a remote-controlled fan—offering an ideal space for entertaining year-round; the living area includes a focal fireplace with mantle and large windows that take advantage of the treed lot and distant lake views. The primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet featuring built-in shelving and drawers, and a 3-piece ensuite with walk-in shower (glass door, tiled surround and built-in shower niche). The main floor also includes two additional bedrooms and a full bath with built-in storage, washer, and natural gas dryer. The fully developed basement adds a comfortable sitting area (cozy media/rec room feel with recessed lighting), two additional bedrooms (illegal), a large utility/craft room with laundry sink and shelving, and upgraded mechanical systems including an energy-efficient furnace with humidifier, central A/C, 50-gallon hot water tank (2021), reverse osmosis, iron filtration, and two sump pumps with backups. Every detail of this home has been updated for efficiency and peace of mind—R-60 attic and R-20 wall insulation, PEX plumbing, new electrical panel and wiring (no aluminum), LED lighting, and natural gas piping for future additions. Security features include motion-sensing lights, personal cameras, and incoming fiber optic internet. The breezeway offers extra cabinetry and connects directly to the oversized 27’ x 27’ garage with 10’ ceilings, built-in storage, natural gas heat, floor drain, and parking for 3–4 additional vehicles outside. Move-in ready, and minutes from Gull Lake Public Beach and playground, and around the corner from the boat launch. Just a short drive to Sylvan Lake’s shops, schools, and beaches—this acreage delivers the perfect balance of modern upgrades, thoughtful design, and peaceful country living. (id:1945)
