Welcome to your new home! Located less than 10 minutes from Calgary, this acreage offers the best of both worlds- country living with the city close by. As you drive through the gate and get that first glimpse of this truly beautiful home, you will fall in love with the possibilities. This property is exceptionally well set up for a family with multiple hobbies, toys and interests. The home alone offers more than 2,000 square feet of developed living space, and when you add the impressive 36' x 64' shop with mezzanine, enclosed gazebo and beautiful 4.4 acres, there truly is something here for everyone. Step inside to a grand foyer and welcoming living room with a vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling windows offering incredible views of your private yard. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main floor, offering both warmth and practicality. The kitchen and dining area are designed with entertaining in mind, featuring a central island, oversized cabinets and loads of counterspace. The walk-in pantry offers plenty of storage. Whether you're hosting a crowd or simply feeding a busy household, the space works beautifully. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor and features plenty of natural light, a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and an ensuite with shower and newly added a step-in tub . The private balcony overlooks the trees to the west. Down the hall, you'll find additional storage, a half bath and access to the heated double garage. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms connected by a unique Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom has its own sink and toilet, while the shower is shared—making busy mornings just a little easier. Downstairs, the massive theatre or recreation room is ready to become whatever suits your lifestyle. There is also an extra-large bedroom that could easily be repurposed as a bright and spacious home office. Outside, the mature trees and thoughtful landscaping create a private, peaceful setting. The walkout leads to a secluded stone patio that is already set up for a future hot tub. The trees provide enough screening that you can enjoy your privacy while still having neighbours close enough to share a meal. The “gazebo” offers a place to gather or sit by the fire. The “outhouse” is actually for wood storage. Then there is the shop. Immaculate and incredibly well designed, this space is ready for just about anything you can imagine. The concrete pad is thick enough to accommodate vehicle lifts wherever needed and every corner has been thoughtfully planned for maximum use. Upstairs, the mezzanine/kitchen is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. There is even a four-piece bathroom. There is parking for just about as many vehicles as you can collect, along with enough storage to keep them out of sight when your partner decides they have seen enough of them! With space, privacy, an incredible shop and a thoughtfully designed home, this property checks a lot of boxes.

What to Expect on Possession Day as a Buyer

It is the final wait, the longest wait, the wait for the magic words;

“Keys are releasable.”

While not the end of your home journey, it is certainly the beginning of the next chapter. But what happens the day before? The day after? 

Before Key Release

The Week Before

A few things are going to happen the week before, here is what to expect. Something of note, even if key release happens at 10AM, the sellers do not need to provide access to the home until 12PM per the purchase agreement. It is important that your realtor get it in writing that they are allowed in before 12PM if keys are released early. 

  • Meet with the lawyers to sign everything away (don’t forget your firstborn, they will be required as part of the down payment). 

    • Note: Do not print the Bank Draft before your lawyer reaches out to you, the lawyer will provide you the exact number needed after legal fees, disbursements, etc. 

    • Additional Note: Send your confirmation of home insurance to the lawyers! They need it! 

  • Make sure your utilities, home insurance, condo fees, and HOA fees are all set up. 

    • If having internet connected the same day as possession, book them for 2PM or later, I’ll explain soon. 

  • Book your pre-possession walkthrough, this should have been added to the terms of the purchase agreement.

  • Book your movers or arrange your friends, you likely won’t be able to move in until after 12PM, so either have your friends be prepared to sit around for a bit, or have them arrive after 12PM. 

The Day Before

  • Pre-Possession Walkthrough: The purpose of the pre-possession walkthrough is to make sure the home is in substantially the same condition as when you bought it, and that all the appliances are still present. Small holes from hanging paintings, mirrors, minor scratches from moving etc. do not fall under this, this is to help protect your from substantial damage such as missing fence, destroyed walls, flooring etc.

    • Holdbacks; a holdback is the legal term for withholding money due to excessive damage, or breach of contract. For example, if the seller had the fridge mentioned in Inclusions on the purchase agreement, but it is missing for the pre possession walkthrough, then chat with your lawyer and you can usually withhold money equivalent to the fix required. 

    • Home Cleanliness: We do not recommend having the sellers professionally clean the home, we’ve been on both sides of the equation, more often than not, you as the buyer will not be satisfied with the level of cleanliness. Unless this is something mentioned in the agreement, or if the home has been turned into a literal pigsty since you last saw it, a holdback will be difficult to enforce. 

  • Check with your lawyer (your realtor should do this); more often than not, the only answer you will get will be an annoyed “everything looks fine on our end”, but it is always good to check. 

  • Your realtor will check with the listing agent about how everything is looking on their end, no news is good news. 

Before Key Release

  • That morning, you may receive an email stating that the money has been sent, that is only half the battle. The money still needs to get there, sometimes it is couriered, sent electronically, or by some other electronic means. This can still take time, and a lot of time if something goes wrong. I had a possession once, money was sent that morning, but was lost in electronic limbo until 4PM that afternoon. 

  • Where to wait for your realtor to call: You can wait outside the home if you’d like, you cannot step foot on the property until keys are released, but public parking is fair game. I usually recommend going and sitting down for a meal, because 9 times out of 10, that means that keys will be released right around the time that you finish ordering food. 

  • The Longest Wait: There is going to be some waiting going on, and then a little more waiting, and then a little more. Eventually, your agent is going to call you to say “Congratulations! Keys are Releasable!” at which point, you are able to get access to the home via your agent or a One Day Code for the Lockbox (or other means, there are so many). 

After Key Release

NOW you can pop the champagne, happy dance, or happy cry, I don’t judge, do what you feel is best to celebrate! 

  • Time to Move In! Put down some carpets or mats, and start trucking everything in. Don’t forget to order pizza or an easy food to eat, I find it is best for the small boxes stage that you have an outside and inside team, outside team brings it into the foyer, inside team distributes the box to the right room. For larger items that aren’t easy to hand off or put down, try to have slip on shoes or just have a vacuum ready to clean up after yourself. 

  • Home Ownership: The home is yours, the best time to plant a tree is 20yrs ago, 2nd best time is today; start maintaining your home! Caulking, filters, keep on top of the little things. If you want a handy checklist for that, please reach out to me and I’ll email you my Home Maintenance Workbook! 

Congratulations on your new home! It is a very exciting time, and you should try to cherish the moment or take a moment to just admire your new home.
