Perched on the hill in the mighty village of Clive, Alberta sits a family home at a great price! With two additions there is ample room for a large family and the open floor plan makes the most of your square footage. With three bedrooms in the original part of the home, the second big addition is currently being used as one, which would make four beds and two full bathrooms total. However, that space would lend itself to a great living room, theatre room or rec. room. The master is the proud owner of a four piece ensuite and a walk-in closet. Outside in the oasis they call a backyard you have all the privacy you want tanks to high fencing and some really phenomenal trees. Retaining walls on three sides really give the a person the feeling of being tucked in, which is exceptional considering this lot sits atop a hill and enjoys a country view to the north. Lastly, a cool note about the shed, it was originally a grain bin on a farm (Built solid!) and was brought into town to be used for storage. The inside is painted in off-whites and works spectacularly as a storage space but really should be turned into a she-shed or a man-cave or something, in my opinion. Clive is small but mighty, with a school that runs to grade nine at which point the kids are bussed ten minutes away to the much larger City of Lacombe where they finish high school. Red Deer is a twenty five minute drive, and Clive is pretty much in the centre of the two largest cities in Alberta, Edmonton & Calgary. Buffalo Lake is 20 minutes down the road and the mountains are just an hour away.. perfection!

I don't say this lightly and I don't throw this term around loosely, either, but here it goes: this house is Bad@ss! Someone has done a very good job with this split level of keeping everything current and stylish. The kitchen has been totally re-done with fine appliances and an island was added in place of a peninsula which did wonders for its utility. The lighting is extravagant and the space has lots of beautiful natural light, too. I don't care what anyone says, daylight makes all the difference in the world to how a place feels, and this house feels awesome. The stone fireplace is a really cool feature and matches the natural stone on the front of the house. Both bathrooms are brand new and I don't really know how to describe the style, but I like it! The single attached garage has accesses from both the main floor and the basement which is ultra handy, and the downstairs family room is spacious enough to house a theatre area and a home gym! The lot is fantastic with its established trees and fencing, privacy is primo here and you can enjoy it from your brand new back deck. One block away from the outskirts of town, one block off of main street.. SWEET!

When I look at this home and I think of my own young family only one word comes to mind: Ideal! A big pie shaped lot on the edge of town nestled in a great mature neighbourhood offer the best setting for this five bedroom, three bathroom, double attached garage, bungalow. The covered porch is an amazing place to hang out and take in the lovely front yards of 47 St Close, and the weather is not a factor as you can tell by the pictures. Lots of cabinetry and a walk in pantry in the kitchen opening onto a big area for the table, make the house feels spacious but still comfortable. The living room looks out through a big feature window onto that same pretty scenery that the covered front porch enjoys. Three bedrooms upstairs and a master with an ensuite, the basement has been developed only within the last few years and the basement bathroom was just completed. In-floor heating in both the basement and garage to keep things toasty in minus forty (Which only happens two weeks out of the year, but still). Out back we've got a covered deck accessed through the kitchen that makes grilling all year long a dream. Look at the space back here, the kids will be in heaven climbing trees and playing games. Just blocks from the school, parks, baseball diamonds and to doors over you'll be neighbours with canola and other cereal crops.

Do you ? Then you need five bedrooms and three bathrooms plus an apartment out in the shop! This is a double corner lot that backs onto the creek so there is only one adjacent neighbour. The home is 1949 square feet and the basement is finished as well. The living room has a custom ceiling and a cantilevered bay window making the space feel grand. Into the kitchen you'll find lots of cabinet space and an attractive set of doors out to the terraced deck and Hot Tub! The master bedroom and ensuite is situated on this end of the house, opposite the other two bedrooms for added privacy, and has a cool feature wall! Added ceiling height in the family room leaves a whole mess of options down there. Right now those options include a theatre set up, pool table, air hockey and foosball. When you're played out from all of that you can just tip toe down the hall to two of your bedrooms or the third bathroom in the home. The yard is excellently sized and that's necessary because if you already have an insulated two car detached garage, which they do, how else would you fit a 28X60' shop (Yes, an entire Shop!) as well?! Not just any shop, though.. a shop with living quarters!! 2X8" Walls in the suite offer added efficiency, but check out the finishing in the shop itself, LED lights, all metal clad siding inside and out.. Premium, Baby! The yard is totally fenced and has a great big pad to park the RV or fifth wheel. In case you missed it before, did I mention there's a hot tub? What else could you need in a place? Well, I'll tell you, it could be in a fantastic little town with lovely people ten minutes from Lacombe, half an hour from Red Deer. On second thought, it has that, too, Welcome to Clive!!!

Look at all the renovations that have been done on this one! The main floor is bright, current and really comfortable. The living room sits at the north of the home and has a nice view being as the home is up on the top of the hill. From there we move into the kitchen and between the two spaces there's enough room to host a large group of people. Two beds in this one, the master bedroom at the back of the home overlooks the backyard and out onto the ravine. The bathroom sits next to the master and is a generously sized four piece. Take note, that the water lines have been moved from underneath the home to the main floor and that's fantastic because if you've ever had to crawl under a place to fix frozen water lines in -40, you'd know that having them in the warmth of the house is worth its weight in gold. Speaking of the underside, the skirting has been conventionally framed in with 2X4's and insulated with 2" styrofoam panels, and the water main has just gotten new heat tape. Out back we've got a nice pair of sheds, one at 8X12' with a work bench, and the other a 7X8' that makes great storage. Now let's talk about Clive, the people are nice! It's got some great establishments in its own right, but if you need something special, Lacombe is just ten minutes away and Red Deer is only a half hour. Lacombe county is beautiful and Clive is right in the middle of it!

SO FLIPPIN' QUAINT in Clive!!! A character home on a corner lot, down the street from fields??!! Is this a movie?? Maybe the most impressive thing about this character home are the almost ten foot ceilings in the main part of the house. Talk about giving a place stature, that added height makes the main floor feel spacious and grand. The big windows also help with that, partly because of the wonderful daylight it lets in, but also because those windows overlook the big corner lot it sits on, 50X140'! Main floor laundry, four piece bathroom (With a five panel door - so classic!) an access through the kitchen to the back deck makes for easy barbecuing, and the fenced backyard is prime for the puppies and the ankle biters. Single detached garage to keep the car fresh because brushing snow is for the birds. Lastly, the furnace and water heater live down in the crawl space so you're not eating up any of your 1010 square feet of main floor living space with them. If highway 2 is the spine of Alberta, that makes Clive the heart, ten minutes from Lacombe, which has all the amenities, and a half hour from Red Deer for when you want a change of scenery.

Sometimes, size does matter. This couple made a deal in '06 before building this house, he wanted a huge shop, but she told him "You're not getting a shop bigger than my house!" So, they compromised.. She got just over 1600 square feet on the main floor, and he got just under 1600 square feet of attached shop. I think she got the better of him though because the house has a full basement (With 9' ceilings at that) giving us more like 3200 square feet of actual living space. They needed a big chunk of land to put a house of this magnitude on so they purchased two of the oversized lots in Clive and built a concrete castle on them. The walls are Insulated Concrete Foundation right to the rafters, giving us a ceiling height of 9 foot 6inches on the main floor, making the home even more grand! The kitchen has custom cabinets with a castle effect and a doorway to the 28'X11' covered deck. Imagine laying out there on a hammock while it's raining!? Does it look like it might be hail?? We don't care, the siding is Hardie-Board, bring it on! Every one of the spare bedrooms is large enough to be the master bedroom in most other houses, but the actual master has its own access to that covered deck, plus an ensuite with a walk-in shower. The home is heated entirely with in-floor heating, upstairs and down, and has an air exchanger to keep things fresh. The yard is very large, you'll probably want a riding lawnmower... And there is a gravel pad beside the shop for the RV's or trailers. Some rooms require some finishing still, but these bones are built rock solid to last. I'm missing quite a bit, but this is half a novel already so holler at me and we can discuss or I'll shoot you a video link if you like. Cheers!

ACREAGE LIVING ON the EDGE OF TOWN! I am all that and more. You will find me on the East side of Clive. Just under 1 full acre, I have the space you want, but not an abundance you are going to waste. I feature over 1800 square feet of main floor living space, plus a FULL FINISHED WALKOUT basement to bring my living space over 3500 square feet. I am spacious, but warm, with a LARGE KITCHEN that is open to the Living Room. You will notice my beautiful cupbaords and island. I have nice flooring throughout and feature 5 bedrooms, 3 full bath, plus a half bath and don't forget MAIN FLOOR laundry. My OPEN BASEMENT concept allows room for entertaining and relaxing, and has a walk out to the backyard. 2 Car ATTACHED GARAGE, Covered back Deck over looking the yard and views of the town. PAVED parking pad, room for the RV, Garden, and still lots of Yard Space. I am on town Water and Sewer!

I know what you're thinking, and I agree, Green might be the best colour of house. What I like about it is that it goes with everything and when you build a fantastic terraced wood deck off the back all the way down to the garage, it makes the wood pop and everything looks like a million bucks! While you're out there just have yourself a nice deep breath because you're practically in the country, baby! Look at the countryside looking back at you, rolling hills with a mix of cropland and trees, Exceptional! I don't mean to yell at you guys, I'm just excited, it's a great house! We've got a bi-level with vaulted ceilings giving us a feeling of grandeur. The linoleum is premium and looks awesome. Two beds upstairs plus a bathroom. We've got an oversized laundry room that could be converted to an ensuite, giving you a new total of three bathrooms. The kitchen is sexy with its dark cabinets and black and stainless appliances, but turn around and BOOM, there's that deck access and the beautiful country side again. Downstairs we've got two more rooms and another bathroom plus a big big family room. If you don't have a family, don't worry, there are lots of other things you can do with that room. The garage is 26X24 and the front may just be some of the finest curb appeal in town. Cute with a capital C! Lastly, The neighbour two doors to the north is a horse named Remy who starred in my first video and launched my career. The neighbour across the way is a really good guitar player and has been known to pick a tune for the neighbourhood from time to time when the weather is nice. AND from what I've been told, the neighbour to the south makes sensational cookies on the regular. I myself have neither tried, nor even seen, said cookies.. but apparently they're good. (Hint)
