Some landowners who have large areas of greenspace carve out a hole or two to help them keep their golf skills sharp.
What happens if an owner hires a real golf architect to create something special on their property.
This is the case for a property that’s currently on the market outside of Calgary. It has a Gary Browning-designed 9-hole executive golf course.
The house that went on sale on August 1 offers some pretty amazing amenities:
This parcel of 19.18 acres features a home with over 12,000 square feet, a 9-hole, par-3, private golf course that is world class, a large clubhouse, and equipment storage and maintenance structures. Landscape is a seamless blend of the natural forest, golf course, water features, and professionally maintained gardens. The house was built with a combination of woods and stones that perfectly complement the grandiosity of the building and the surrounding area. It is a pleasure to entertain here, for either business or pleasure. On the main level, the chef’s area is prominent, featuring soaring ceilings and plenty of natural lighting, as well as a butlers pantry, dining room for over 20 people, a cozy fire place, commercial refrigeration, and multiple access points to the patio.
The walkout lower level features a games area, a second-floor kitchen, five bedrooms, a Maplewood Wine Cellar, a wood-burning fire place with a gas-lit log lighter and a large commercial-style bathroom. Your business meetings can be held in the upper-level sitting/conference room. The interior also includes 7 bedrooms, 10 baths, 3 laundry areas, and plenty of office and sitting space. The main floor, lower level and the Clubhouse all have cold beer available on tap.
Gary Browning is a golf course architect with a solid reputation for providing high-quality consultation, design, and construction services. It may be Alberta’s best 9-hole par-3 course. The main floor of the Clubhouse is 1700 square foot. The clubhouse is equipped with commercial kitchen and bar equipment. Local, prestigious fine dining restaurants cater most of the events. Currently, the lower level of clubhouse is used to store items related to the operation and maintenance of the golf course and clubhouse.
The property is located in a great location. It’s only 30 minutes away from Calgary downtown, and about an hour to Banff, as well as a few ski resorts.
The price of the property is $13,950,000 Canadian dollars, which is about $10.40M US dollars.
