About this property

A rare landmark residence in one of Canmore's most coveted settings, this distinguished character home occupies an extraordinary south facing position overlooking the peaceful Millennium Park with uninterrupted majestic views of the Three Sisters & other mountain ranges. More reminiscent of a cherished family estate than a conventional mountain property, the home combines enduring craftsmanship, architectural presence, and an irreplaceable connection to the surrounding landscape. Set among mature trees and established gardens, the residence enjoys a sense of privacy and permanence seldom found so close to downtown Canmore. Classic architectural detailing, cedar accents, handcrafted millwork, stained glass, French doors, crystal chandliers, vintage mantels, and rich hardwood floors create interiors of warmth and authenticity, reflecting a level of character that cannot be replicated in newer construction. Generous principal rooms are filled with natural light and framed by mountain vistas, while thoughtfully designed easy living spaces invite both quiet cozy retreat and effortless gathering. The home's unique turret, grand staircase, detailed woodwork, and carefully considered proportions speak to a tradition of timeless craftsmanship that values substance over fashion. Upstairs, tranquil bedrooms and flexible sitting rooms capture spectacular views of the surrounding peaks. The primary suite opens to a private sunroom with skylights and a fireplace—a serene sanctuary overlooking one of the most iconic mountain landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. Outside, stone pathways, mature landscaping, a garden pond, and expansive outdoor living spaces blend seamlessly with the parkland beyond, creating a rare sense of openness and connection to nature. With Millennium Park as its backdrop and the Three Sisters as its daily view, this is a home defined not simply by its architecture, but by its enduring relationship to nature. Properties of this character and setting are exceptionally rare. Offering timeless appeal, privacy, and one of Canmore's most remarkable locations, this is a residence designed to be enjoyed for generations.
