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 â 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 â 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 â 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 â 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 â 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. (id:32467)
