We are pleased to announce that Sotheby’s International Realty Canada has sold a 14,500 square foot estate in Aspen Woods for $10,350,000 — the largest sale in the city of Calgary to date. The two-storey home, listed by Corinne Poffenroth, was built in 2010 and had a list price of $11.495 million. The French country-style estate sits atop an interior ridge on nearly one acre of land, boasting expansive grounds, exquisite landscaping, gated privacy, and the utmost in security and exclusivity. Custom designed and built by Pacer Signature Homes using materials sourced from around the world, the stone-covered estate features five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a separate carriage house, nanny suite, grand parlor, yoga/dance studio, wine tasting room, and full spa. Designed with entertaining in mind, the grand circular foyer is bordered on either side by a sweeping cantilevered stairwell, leading to a magnificent two-storey parlour, featuring a dazzling eight-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier. The lower level of the estate includes a spacious home theatre complete with a projection screen, starlight ceiling, leather lounge chairs, and beautifully crafted wine tasting room. The estate was marketed to buyers at home and abroad, and drew interest from national and international media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, CTV, National Post and Calgary Herald. While interest was expressed by prospective purchasers from around the world,the purchasers of the home ended up being two local clients who are well-established members of the Calgary community. Corinne Poffenroth, the agent who represented our listing and the buyers, says “This home is truly one-of-a-kind.  While it has local and international appeal, we’re not surprised that we were able to represent local buyers for a property that is now iconic to Calgary.” “This sale reflects the continued momentum and confidence that our management team is seeing in Calgary’s luxury real estate market,” says our President and CEO, Ross McCredie. “Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s entry into the Calgary market two years ago reflected our confidence that it is one of the world’s up-and-coming global cities for real estate. This record sale, as well as our company’s growth during this short period of time, embodies that.”
