35 Horseshoe Bend, Rural Foothills, Alberta

The land calls, and "Terra-Maura" answers—a sanctuary of rustic elegance set within the exclusive, gated equestrian community of Square Butte Ranch. Here, where the foothills rise to meet the sky, this custom-built timber-framed bungalow stands as a testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and the quiet majesty of the West. Spanning 4,428 square feet and perfectly positioned on 3.66 private acres, this is more than a home—it’s a retreat, a gathering place, and a gateway to a life well lived. From the moment you arrive, a sense of peace settles in. Towering 24-foot vaulted ceilings and expansive wall-to-wall windows bring the breathtaking western views into every corner of the home, blurring the line between indoors and out. The heart of the house beats in the custom kitchen, where high-end stainless-steel appliances, a spacious pantry, and panoramic vistas make every meal an experience. Flowing seamlessly into the formal dining area, wet bar, and great room—anchored by a grand stone-faced fireplace and exposed cedar beams—this space was designed for both quiet moments and lively gatherings. The primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, offering a spa-like five-piece ensuite with a corner jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, dual vanity, and private access to the sprawling deck. Below, the fully finished walkout basement offers warmth and welcome, with three additional bedrooms—including two with custom-built 7-foot adult bunk beds—alongside a cooled wine cellar, gym, and a three-piece bath with a steam shower. A cozy theater room, comfortable sitting area, and a lofted office space complete the upper level, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. With four bedrooms and the ability to host up to 13 guests, "Terra-Maura" was built for sharing—whether with family, friends, or the quiet company of the land itself. Step outside, and the magic of this place only deepens. A wrap-around balcony with a built-in BBQ invites long evenings under the open sky. A covered patio with a hot tub, a fire pit with a seating area, a playset, a bocce pitch, and a toboggan hill ensure that every season brings new adventures. And when the day fades into twilight, the west-facing views put on a show—sunsets painted in fire and gold, best enjoyed with a glass of wine and the laughter of good company. But the beauty of Square Butte Ranch isn’t just in the land—it’s in the lifestyle. With 480 acres of communal space, residents enjoy access to a professionally managed equestrian facility, barns, pastures, paddocks, an outdoor arena, a saloon, a gym, disc golf, and three stocked fishing ponds that transform into skating and hockey rinks come winter. The endless trails of Kananaskis Country and McLean Creek lie just beyond, offering a playground for hikers, bikers, riders, and adventurers of every kind. And when the call of the city beckons, Millarville, Bragg Creek, Elbow Falls, and the Rockies are just a short drive away, with downtown Calgary only 40 minutes from your door! (id:59963)
