I have listed a new property at 45129 Range Road 204 in New Norway.
Remember the story of the 3 little pigs? This is the last house in the story, the one that the wolf dies from exhaustion trying to destroy. 2633 sq ft, plus another 1820 sq ft in the basement, of concrete castle! (Actual total of 4453, but they don't count basement square footage in listings) The walls in this home are built entirely of ICF. Which is 2" of styrofoam on the inside, 8" of concrete wall in the centre and 2" more on the exterior making for excellent efficiency, even with the high ceilings. It's really pretty! The aesthetic is a lot of neutral, airy tones. Great lighting and an open concept are undefeated, especially when you mix in a pile of windows and a deck. We believe the home was designed with multi-family living in mind because each level has it's own laundry room, and everything is plumbed and wired for the basement to have it's own kitchen as well. The floor plan upstairs and downstairs are almost identical, each having a great room and two bedrooms. If that's not enough, the bonus room above the garage looks like it was probably intended to be a suite as well as it has a closet, plumbing for a full bathroom, an indoor access, and a door installed for a private outdoor access. A set of stairs could turn this into an actual suite that could easily be rented out to help pay the mortgage, the views up there to the East AND the West are just a beautiful bonus and It's up to you if you want to include a parking spot in the double attached garage to go with it. If all that's not enough, you'd be situated just fifteen minutes south of Camrose, three minutes east of New Norway and two minutes west of Dried Meat Lake, on five acres in some really pretty country. The countryside rolls up to the south of the property, offering a view that looks like it was put there for this house alone. The lot is longer than it is wide, which gives tons of room to develop out back, be it for recreation, horticulture or agricultural pursuits. A brand new well was installed in June but hasn't been tied into the house yet and that's fine because the home also has a 3000 gallon water cistern. In addition, a brand new septic field was installed in August, eliminating the need to haul in and haul out. Building from scratch is astronomical right now. However, maybe you want the ability to customize a place in a specific way? Perhaps this could be the ideal way to get exactly what you want, without having to start from square one? It's your world, and T.I. said it best "You can have whatever you like."
