309, 27111 Highway 597 Highway , Rural Lacombe County

The view is the first thing you notice. This 5.54-acre parcel sits above the Blindman River valley, looking south over the treetops to an old train bridge in the distance — a view that changes with the light and the season. The wrap-around deck was built to take it in, and so were the big windows in the living room.
The house is a 1.5 storey built in 2005, log-sided on two elevations with vinyl on the others — the log look without the upkeep of a true log home. The living room has laminate flooring and a wood stove that suits the place. Two good-sized bedrooms, a 3-piece bath with a full soaker tub, main floor laundry, and a big front entry closet round out the main floor. The kitchen is straightforward and functional — oak cabinets, laminate counters, a walk-in pantry, and a comfortable dining area. It works as it sits, and it's an easy place to put your own stamp down the road. Upstairs is a loft bedroom with brand new carpet, dual closets, a 3-piece ensuite with stand-up shower, and the best windows in the house. The log railing down the stairwell is a nice touch.
The bones are sound: ICF foundation, in-floor heat connected, high-efficiency furnace and hot water tank, new septic field, and a newer pressure tank. The basement is partly framed with the materials to finish it already on site.
The land is flat and usable, with treed pockets for wildlife and forts, and a path leading up to a second flat area with a hay shed — out of sight of the house and a natural spot for a firepit, camping, or another building. The shop is large, with high ceilings, a mezzanine, a solid concrete floor, and a radiant heater. The walls, doors, and shingles are on the to-do list — a fair project for someone handy, and reflected in the price.
Burbank is a quiet corner of Lacombe County, pavement nearly all the way, minutes to Blackfalds and about ten to Red Deer. Listed below both a recent appraisal and the current assessed value.
