Passive solar eco-home nestled in a lovely woodland setting in the Bonnie Brae Estates of West Bragg Creek. Living here will connect you and your family to low energy living on nature’s doorstep, with boundless recreational opportunity from your door. Private and on a quiet street, connected to the community with trails and school bus stop at the driveway. Using a combination of passive solar, solar heating and power, and energy efficient design, the house is a model of energy minimalism. Its gorgeous timber frame provides a warm and comforting ambiance, while its location invites abundant exploration of a diverse tapestry of beautiful natural habitats. This property is on the market for the first time: the original owners designed and had this home built with the utmost care and attention to living a low energy lifestyle without compromising comfort. Utility costs are extremely low thanks to house construction, and utilities can be converted to off-grid. The exterior design is simple and somewhat misleading as the over 2000 sq ft home contains some of the most advanced environmentally friendly technology and features. Inside the house 12 inch square Douglas-fir beams create a beautiful exposed timber frame design which can be appreciated throughout both levels of the home. Abundant natural light fills all living spaces. Polished-concrete heated floors on the main living areas, including the kitchen with its functional layout and a pantry. Good sized dining area connects to the open and vaulted living room area beside the wall of southerly windows. A masonry wood stove clad with local rock provides cheery fires with long-lasting radiant warmth. Den area (which could easily be walled in for a more private home office or bedroom) on the main. Full bathroom and laundry on the main level as well. Up the easy staircase with custom metal railings you will find 2 bedrooms and 2 vaulted ceiling/loft areas currently used as home offices featuring beautiful tongue-&-groove Doug-fir floors. The loft areas could also easily be modified to be closed-in bedroom spaces if more privacy is preferred. A full bathroom on the upper level as well. The attic space is also developed to be a cozy and bright little loft space, perfect for those afternoon quiet times or reading that great new book or perhaps the special space your kids have been dreaming of to be their very own. The attached double garage has lots of storage space. The 2 acre lot backs onto Enviro Reserve which connects to Kananaskis Country. You will build an appreciation for the quiet whilst embracing beauty of nature. Whether you are seeking a lifestyle less dependent on utilities, or perhaps just needing a weekend escape with car-free access to west Bragg Creek trails, this future-proof property provides that, along with the necessary cell coverage and internet service.
