Description

Some lots in Calgary are rare. This one is singular. Nearly half an acre at the end of Riverdale Avenue, where the street meets the forest and the river bends south. Two hundred and twenty feet of river frontage, one of the widest parcels on the street.The rear faces due west. Before the sun drops behind the bluff on the far shore, the light falls directly across the lot and onto the river. The bluff is high enough that the prevailing north wind passes over rather than through, leaving the site notably sheltered at river level. Across the water is undisturbed natural corridor.The parcel widens toward the water, orienting the site so every principal room can face the river. The southern edge borders mature forest. Underground powerlines keep the sightlines unobstructed across the full width of the property.Riverdale Avenue is one of Calgary's great addresses. Close to downtown, walkable, with a strong sense of community built over generations. The kind of place where every day ends with the river out back and the city within reach.This is the best Calgary has to offer.All offers submitted no later than 8:00AM MST on the noted review date: 1334 Riverdale Avenue, May 27; 1302 Riverdale Avenue, June 1; 1132 Riverdale Avenue, June 4; 714 Rideau Road, June 5.
