About 303 Church Ranches Rise
Nestled among the picturesque rolling hills and tree-lined bluffs of Bears Paw, just a short drive from Calgary, this exquisitely crafted estate home is a true masterpiece. Meticulously designed and constructed by the award-winning builder McKinley Masters, this rare 7-bedroom bungalow embodies the elegance and style worthy of any architectural magazine.
Situated in the prestigious Church Ranches community, this extraordinary home boasts over 7,000 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, perfectly positioned on a sunny 2.09-acre lot surrounded by natural beauty. As you enter, the impressive scale of the home becomes immediately apparent as you look down into the grand great room. A stunning floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, framed by a beautiful sandstone surround, commands attention. A dramatic wall of windows captures views of the living areas below, while the open-concept design features grand vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate treatments.
The inspiring kitchen is a culinary delight, equipped with a walk-up island with seating, quartz countertops, ceiling-height site-finished cabinetry, and high-end appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, along with a convenient walk-through pantry. Adjacent spaces include a cozy great room with a gas fireplace and a formal dining area that opens to an upper covered deck, ideal for morning coffee or summer barbecues.
The primary suite serves as a true retreat, boasting expansive windows that overlook the beautifully manicured yard. A custom walk-in closet provides ample storage, and the spa-like five-piece ensuite features a soaking tub, grand shower, and dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms, each with built-in desks and shelving, share a well-appointed 4-piece bathroom. Other main-level highlights include a powder room, a grand foyer, and a large mudroom with laundry facilities.
Descending the grand double-sided staircase to the walkout lower level, you will find heated floors, custom built-in cabinetry, a spacious family room, and a wet bar adjacent to a dedicated wine room.
