    Situated in the prestigious enclave of Aspen Estates, this landmark Manor House Estate represents one of Calgary’s most significant residential offerings. Set on an extensively landscaped 36,155-square-foot lot within an exclusive cul-de-sac, the property offers a rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, privacy, and location. Constructed to an uncompromising commercial standard seldom seen in residential properties today, the residence was designed to evoke timeless old-world elegance while seamlessly incorporating modern luxury and convenience. Enveloped entirely in Ocean Pearl stone, the Estate home encompasses nearly 10,000 square feet of meticulously crafted living space across three levels, offering a level of quality and permanence that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring extensive custom rockwork, a striking water feature centerpiece, mature trees creating an exceptionally private enclave, a grand front circular driveway, and a beautifully executed cobbled rear lane and patio designed to complement the Estate’s architectural character. Together, the landscaping and hardscaping create a setting that feels both stately and secluded. The residence features 5 luxurious bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, and over 1,200 square feet of outdoor patio space designed for grand-scale entertaining. A separate carriage house of more than 1,000 square feet sits above a remarkable two-level, 7-car garage, connected to the main residence by an enclosed galleria — ideally suited for a caregiver, extended family accommodation, private guest quarters, or a dedicated house manager’s residence. Distinguished interior appointments include site-finished wide plank Brazilian cherry flooring, extraordinary custom millwork throughout, warm cherry and oak finishing woodwork, top quality fixtures and fittings, handcrafted stained-glass accents, and a statement fireplace and coffered detailing anchoring the dramatic great room with soaring 18-foot ceilings. Additional features include a world-class gourmet kitchen, elegant vaulted drawing room, formal dining room with butler’s pantry, authentic Irish Pub-inspired bar, private media room, hot tub sunroom, and elevator servicing all levels. Located moments from Calgary’s most prestigious private schools and premiere west-side amenities, this extraordinary estate embodies legacy-calibre living — a residence defined by architectural significance, enduring materials, and exceptional long-term value in one of Calgary’s most coveted communities. A true address of distinction.

    Semi-detached homes listed with at least one legal suite.

    Fewer of these exist, so they move quickly.

    Read this first. These listings mention a suite, but the MLS® data does not show a legal suite. Some may be legal and listed incorrectly, and some are not legal at all. Do not assume a suite is legal, insurable or financeable until you have verified it with the City of Calgary.

    7-point legal suite checklist

    Tick each item as you verify it. A suite that fails any point is not a legal suite, whatever the listing says.

    0 of 7 checked

    This checklist is general information, not legal advice. The City of Calgary decides whether a suite is legal.

    What changed, and what it means if you are buying a home with a suite or legalizing one.

    Amnesty to December 31, 2026

    Owners of existing unapproved suites can apply under the City amnesty. Confirm current terms at calgary.ca/secondarysuites.

    Building permit route (April 2026)

    For permitted-use suites, the application can go through a building permit alone, which CREB reports saves up to six weeks and $600 or more.

    Fees

    The 2026 fee schedule lists $0 for the development permit and the registry fee. Building permit and trade permit costs still apply.

    City incentive

    Up to $10,000 for eligible new suites. CREB reports new applications are currently waitlisted, so check availability first.

    Funding a suite

    Some lenders will include the cost of adding a suite when you refinance, including CMHC-insured refinancing. Terms change, so ask your lender or CMHC what is available before you plan around it.

    Questions about Calgary basement suites

    How do I know if a basement suite in Calgary is legal?

    Check the address on the City of Calgary secondary suite registry and ask the seller for the permits. Use the checklist above.

    Can I get insurance and a mortgage for an unapproved suite?

    Often not on the same terms. Ask your lender and insurer before you remove conditions on an offer.

    What is the amnesty?

    A City program that lets owners of existing suites apply to make them legal. It is scheduled to run to December 31, 2026.

    How much does it cost to legalize a suite?

    The City lists $0 for the development permit and registry fee in 2026, but building and trade permits, and any renovation work, still cost money. Get quotes before you commit.
