188 Artists View Way W, Rural Rocky View County

Perched high above the valley in the exclusive hillside community of Artists View West, this architecturally significant walkout bungalow displays uninterrupted views of the Rocky Mountains in a setting where privacy, nature, and timeless design exist in perfect harmony. Tucked away, yet only 20 minutes from downtown Calgary and less than an hour to Banff, this is a location that feels wonderfully removed from the pace of the city without ever sacrificing convenience. Originally inspired by mid-century architecture and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this home has been extensively renovated and offers more than 7,800 square feet of beautifully curated living space. The scope and quality of the improvements are significant; detailed renovation documentation outlining the work completed is available in the supplemental documents. Soaring 22-foot cedar ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, rich custom millwork, and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace create interiors that are both sophisticated and welcoming. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen effortlessly balances beauty and function with premium appliances, bespoke cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized island, and a sculptural copper range hood. A fireside breakfast nook invites slow mornings, while the formal dining room flows seamlessly onto expansive terraces where sunsets over the Rockies become an evening ritual. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers exceptional flexibility for families, multigenerational living, or long-term guests, including separate living quarters on the lower level. The private main-floor primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat featuring its own fireplace, a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, and an expansive dressing room. The fully developed walkout level extends the home's versatility with generous recreation spaces, a second wood-burning fireplace, wet bar with kitchenette, steam shower, an additional bedroom with ensuite, and abundant storage. Outside, fully fenced mature landscaping, underground irrigation, and multiple terraces create private outdoor living spaces that celebrate the home's extraordinary setting. For the automotive enthusiast, hobbyist, or collector, the property offers an exceptional approximately 1,750 square feet of combined garage space across two separate triple garages. The detached garage is equipped with its own electrical panel, with gas and water already run to the building, creating outstanding potential for a substantial workshop or possible future conversion to additional living space, subject to applicable approvals. Armour Shake roofing, integrated security, three furnaces, two air conditioning systems, four hot water tanks, and two mechanical rooms reflect the same commitment to quality found throughout the residence. Homes of this architectural significance in Artists View West are seldom available. Bonus: school bus pickup for both private and public schools is conveniently located at the top of the driveway!
