9 Carraig Ridge, Ghost Lake, Alberta

About 9 Carraig Ridge

Welcome to Wandering Stones, a unique tour de force that is built into the hill to minimize both the impact on the landscape and the visual prominence of the home ~ two integral design principles of Carriag Ridge. The low profile, single level design allows you to gaze across the sculptural roofline to panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The main living space is divided by a sophisticated wood burning fireplace and the kitchen features Miele appliance package with gas cooktop, custom millwork with Black Pearl leather granite & Tesoro Irah Quartz countertops and separate walk-in pantry. The two bedroom suites are strategically separated from each other by the living and dining areas, with the primary suite gaining additional separation through a windowed hallway with integrated office. The primary ensuite bathroom features in-floor heating, quartz countertops and dual vanities. South-west facing windows capture views of the Rocky Mountains, Bow Valley and Ghost Lake, making the outdoor spaces a retreat in themselves to relax - taking in the breathtaking views and enjoying true serenity and quiet. At the opposite side of the house, there is a guest bedroom, 3pc bathroom, laundry room and utilities. The unique elevation with natural cedar cladding paired with the monolithic, earth-toned forms allow the perception of rocky deposits embedded into the hillside, mimicking the landscape of the surrounding foothills and disappearing into their environment. This property offers 2 beautiful outdoor spaces: a north-east patio at the front of the home and an expansive south-west patio overlooking the views beyond. With 658 secluded acres set in the foothills of Canada’s Rocky Mountains near Banff National Park, Carriag Ridge is where environmental stewardship and thoughtful design bring to life a lifestyle that is truly luxurious. Enjoy the proximity to both the conveniences of a large city and the recreational opportunities of pristine foothills. Each resident at CR owns a private lot surrounding their home, plus an equal share of the remaining 540 acres of community land. Carraig Ridge was conceived to support the environment, rather than dominate it. The retreats adhere to this same essential principle. Refined and graceful dwellings, each inspired by the specific terrain of its lot, allow balance between habitation and preservation.
