About 263259 Forestry Trunk Road
Set on 4.79 acres along the shore of spring-fed Beaupre Lake, this walkout bungalow frames a 180-degree, unobstructed panorama of the Rocky Mountains. It offers over 3,800 sq ft of living space, was architect-designed by Design 2 Group (as featured in Architectural Digest), and was built by Kingsmith Builders. From the H-frame entry onward, floor-to-ceiling glass was placed with one purpose: to make the view the centrepiece of every room.
The kitchen is made for serious entertaining. It has upgraded Fisher & Paykel appliances, a double wall oven, a 5-burner gas cooktop with pot filler, a dishwasher and a beverage cooler, all centred on a 4'x10' quartz waterfall island beneath a walnut-slatted ceiling. Behind it, a butler's pantry with a second dishwasher, built-in microwave and Corian counters keeps prep and cleanup discreetly out of sight. A custom 3-way fireplace by Alberta Metal Works defines the dining and living rooms while connecting them. The dining room opens directly to a 900 sq ft covered deck with glass partitions and gas outlets, and the living room's expansive windows bring the lake and mountains inside. Lutron lighting, Somfy power blinds and central air conditioning add everyday ease. A main-floor office with dual built-in desks and hard-wired internet suits remote work, and a 2-piece powder room completes the main level.
The main-floor primary retreat has a freestanding soaker tub, double rain showers, in-floor heat, and a generous walk-in closet with built-ins and a dedicated vanity/make-up area. The same floor-to-ceiling glass frames lake and mountains by day and stars by night.
A custom wood staircase with its own display feature leads down to the walkout lower level. In-floor heat runs throughout, and the level holds two bedrooms, a flex room/den, a roughed-in wet bar, and a 3-piece bathroom with steam shower. It opens to a heated, coloured concrete patio. Outside, a cedar firepit pergola, a private outdoor sauna and a Gemstone-lit deck create outdoor living for every season.
The property is completed by an attached, heated 3½-car garage with in-floor heat and 2 EV chargers, a detached 1,440 sq ft insulated and heated shop with storage room, and a separate RV area for guests with septic and 220-amp service, all accessed by a Razphalt driveway.
Native wildflower meadows surround the home. Deer and eagles are regular residents, and Trumpeter Swans pass over the lake each spring and fall. It's ten minutes to Cochrane, 45 to Canmore, and minutes from Ghost Lake. Properties like this rarely come to market. Book your private showing today.
