      A rare opportunity to own 15.77 acres just past the city limits—only 12 minutes from Shawnessy and 7 minutes to the South Ring Road. This gently sloping property rises to a beautiful high point where the spacious walkout bungalow is situated, capturing lovely mountain and valley views from the home and a city view from the upper portion of the land. Surrounded by other attractive acreages and estate homes, including Red Willow Estates, this sought-after Priddis corridor location offers peace, privacy, and enduring value. The land provides ample space for horses, a future shop, or possible, potential subdivision (seller does not guarantee this) as it would be subject to MD application and approval. The home itself is solid and well-built, offering an excellent layout ready for renovation and personalization. The large kitchen enjoys mountain views, a cooktop island, four newer windows, above average amount of storage, and a built-in desk area. A few steps down, the living room features a stone-faced wood-burning fireplace and city views through its large windows. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite with a soaker tub, while the main-floor laundry offers a convenient sink and access to the double car attached, drywalled garage. The walkout lower level includes three additional bedrooms—two large rooms and a third bedroom with a closet and under-stair storage, making it ideal as an office or hobby space. A spacious workshop and utility area houses two newer hot water tanks (2017 & 2018) and enough space for multiple projects. With an excellent well (10+ GPM), a solid structure, and a prime location, this property represents a truly rare offering—a large, private acreage close to the city with exceptional potential to create the home and lifestyle you desire.
