Discover an exceptional combination of acreage living, modern comfort and lakeside recreation at 2501 Otter Road. Situated on 5.312 acres directly across from Jimsmith Lake Provincial Park, this peaceful property is just a leisurely five-minute walk—or a quick bike ride—to the beach, fishing dock, playground and surrounding trails. Built in 2020 by New Dawn Developments, the thoughtfully designed 1,359 sq. ft. home offers convenient single-level living with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and an attached double garage. The spacious primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and private ensuite, while the open living area is warmed by a WETT-certified Jøtul wood stove. Quality finishes include knotty alder cabinetry with crown moulding, quartz countertops, undermount sinks, custom blinds, knotty pine trim and continuous luxury vinyl flooring throughout. Triple-pane Low-E windows, an HRV ventilation system and in-floor hydronic heating—with individual thermostats in every room and the garage—provide year-round comfort and efficiency. Maytag appliances are also included. The finished, heated and insulated garage adds excellent workspace and storage. Additional features include 200-amp electrical service, natural gas, high-speed fibre-optic internet, an 80-gallon hot water tank, Culligan water filtration, reverse osmosis, a water softener, a 10-GPM well and an engineered septic system. Irrigation, natural-gas BBQ and hot tub connections are roughed in, along with hot and cold exterior taps for a future outdoor shower. Outside, enjoy a covered concrete patio with custom timber supports and fir cladding. Approximately 2.5 acres of mature trees create a private backyard sanctuary, while two year-round creeks flow through the property and join together. Located within a wildlife connectivity corridor, the acreage is frequented by deer and elk, with loons, bald eagles, osprey and hawks commonly seen and heard nearby. Otter Road has only one other residence and ends in a quiet cul-de-sac. Both Otter Road and the school-bus route along Jim Smith Lake Road receive regular winter snow clearing. This is a truly rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, wildlife and over five acres of land—all just steps from the lake and minutes from Cranbrook amenities. Viewings are available to qualified buyers.
