Sometimes, opportunity knocks. Other times, it kicks down the door and yells "Over 5200 square feet of living space, perfect for a lodge or bed & breakfast, steps away from beautiful winding Parlby Creek! If that's not enough, no worries, how about a workshop styled like a turn of the century hip-roof barn? Need more still? Let me tell you about the 16X300' livestock shelter with accompanying runs and waterers, insulated 40X60' barn (Not including the 12' lean-to), and three bay heated machinery workshop. All on 28 acres of pristine Lacombe County!" Calling all entrepreneurs! Just 3 miles from Clive and 15 minutes to Lacombe this location is ideal for so many uses and has the infrastructure to back it up. The house is exceptionally well constructed with ICF from the footings to the rafters. Seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, a walkout basement, wrap-around deck and open concept great room it is built for a large family or to be used as some sort of lodge/B'n'B. Situated in the side of a hill overlooking picturesque Parlby Creek, with views galore of the water and the rolling countryside, imagine the camping you could offer here? Roll out of your fifth wheel or tent and have morning coffee by the water. The greenhouse was a commercially run success thanks in part to its generous size; 70'X140' of plant space, another 25'X75' heated storefront section (the middle part in the pics), as well as the heated hip-roof barn with timber-frame front entrance. This part of the facility offered home decor and boutique retail space, operations and storage in the back, and a full second level dedicated to industrial woodworking. The upper loft could make a fantastic suite to house more guests. There has been a newly constructed concrete root cellar added, store veggies almost year round, farm-to-plate! Take that a step farther with the livestock operations and you could offer an entire balanced diet from this one location. Ideal for sheep but more than suitable for cows, pigs or even horses with its multiple runs. For livestock related activities we have an insulated barn (having the interior metal cladding finished as we speak) and a 34'X100' canvas building to store feed, machinery or more animals. The remaining acres are cultivated to grow cash crops or feed. Lastly, the three bay shop is beautifully set up for maintenance and fabricating as it is heated with high ceilings and a concrete floor. "Choose a line (or lines?) of work that you love and you'll never work a day in your life!"
