Home in Calgary sells for $13.1million. 27000 sq ft!
Highest residential sale in Canada this year.
Anyone have pics of the inside of this place?
http://www.calgaryherald.com/busines...906/story.html
The spectacular piece of real estate is located in the Foothills. The private compound is 27,000 square feet and sits on 5.26 hectares.
Since it was completed in 1997, Falkridge has played host to corporate executives, politicians and celebrities. It includes a main residence, guest house, gazebo and water tower.
Last month, the Herald reported that the 12,700-square-foot Elbow Park home of former Calgary Flames goaltender Mike Vernon sold for $10.3 million -- setting the benchmark for the highest MLS residential sale price in Calgary. It eclipsed the previous record sale in June 2008 of a six-bedroom Crescent Heights home which sold for $7.5 million.

It was listed at 12.9 and went for 13.1 - so it looks like you did quite well.
Sorry to hear about your fire yesterday at the plant.

Mogens Smed who used to own SMED built this house. The house was bought by Haworth along with all company assests of SMED a few years ago.

The Smed brothers were using this property as a sales pitch. All the furnishings came from SMED so you as a client got to experience it while living there.
It worked for them, started out in a garage, went belly up and now they have a street named after them. Nice "home".

Yeah, it looks like a resort (a mediocre one at that), more than a home.

Why do people comment on articles they haven't read?
