Silverhorn · Bearspaw, Alberta
Black Timber
Estate
A refined mountain-inspired estate designed for elevated acreage living in Bearspaw.
A Luxury Bearspaw Estate of
Rare Architectural Character
Positioned at the end of a private cul-de-sac in Silverhorn — one of Bearspaw's most sought-after acreage communities — this custom mountain-modern estate commands 1.4 acres of open Rocky View County landscape. Matte black cladding, warm cedar timber, and natural stone define an exterior that is unmistakably its own: bold, considered, and enduring.
Inside, over 5,300 square feet unfold across three levels of refined luxury living. Soaring volumes, wide-plank hardwood, Wolf & Sub-Zero appointments, and a spa-inspired primary suite compose a home built not for spectacle — but for living beautifully. Twenty minutes from downtown Calgary. A world apart.
Designed in
Shadow & Light
Matte black upper cladding meets warm cedar and natural stone — a composition that becomes its most striking at dusk, when the estate glows from within.
Matte Black. Cedar Timber.
Natural Stone.
The exterior draws from the language of the Canadian Rockies — dark, elemental, weathered by nature. Matte black upper cladding contrasts against warm cedar detailing and natural stone skirting, composing a façade that is both striking and deeply rooted in its Alberta foothills landscape. This is mountain-modern architecture at its most considered.
Black window trim, black deck skirting, and cedar-clad garage doors complete a design with rare architectural conviction. Among luxury custom homes in Bearspaw, this estate stands apart — belonging to its Rocky View County setting without compromise or apology.
Made for Entertaining
The open-concept heart of the home centers around an oversized island, professional Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package, and quartz countertops that flow effortlessly into expansive living and dining areas. A double-sided gas fireplace anchors the space, while walls of windows frame the Alberta landscape and invite natural light to shape every gathering.
A Private Retreat
The primary suite is a study in restful luxury — a personal sanctuary separated from the rhythm of the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows and carefully considered proportions create a sense of calm that anchors each day.
The spa-inspired ensuite features a freestanding soaker tub, steam shower, and custom millwork throughout. An adjoining walk-in closet, thoughtfully designed with natural materials, completes the experience.
Designed for Family Living
The fully finished lower level extends the home's living capacity with a dedicated media area, family lounge, guest bedrooms, and additional entertaining space. Thoughtfully designed with the same attention to materiality and light as the main floor, it offers flexible room for growing families and multi-generational gatherings.
Where Open Skies
Meet Quiet Prestige
Bearspaw does not announce itself. It simply exists — wide open skies, rolling acreages framed by the Rockies, and a community shaped by those who value substance above spectacle. Calgary's core remains within reach, yet the pace of life here is entirely its own.
Open Skies & Privacy
The expansive Alberta landscape offers a sense of freedom rare in modern living. Panoramic views, uninterrupted horizons, and the sound of silence.
Minutes from Calgary
World-class dining, culture, and commerce remain within easy reach while the estate offers total remove from urban density.
Country Luxury
This is not rural compromise — it is elevated acreage living with every modern amenity, wrapped in natural beauty.
Community & Family
Silverhorn is a curated enclave of like-minded families who value quality, space, and the quiet bonds of neighborhood.
Nature at Your Door
Backing onto open space, with mature landscaping and walking paths, the property extends seamlessly into the landscape.
Architectural Presence
The estate commands its setting — mountain-inspired rooflines, natural stone, and timber that belong to this land.

Why Executives Are Choosing
Alberta Over Texas
For oil and gas professionals relocating from US energy hubs, Alberta offers a rare convergence of financial advantages, world-class acreage lifestyle, and a business culture you already know. Black Timber Estate is built for that move.
Alberta is the only Canadian province with no PST. On a $2.7M estate + luxury finishes, that's a six-figure saving versus Ontario or BC.
Alberta charges zero land transfer tax. In Texas you pay ~$500–2,500 in fees; in Ontario the LTT alone would exceed $75,000 on this property.
Listed at $2,699,999 CAD. US dollar buyers currently gain significant purchasing power — this estate represents exceptional value for American executives.
Alberta's flat 10% provincial income tax rate is the lowest in Canada and compares favourably to California's top 13.3% or New York's 10.9%.
Suncor, Cenovus, TC Energy, Imperial Oil, and dozens of international energy firms — all within a 30-minute drive from your Bearspaw estate.
World-class skiing at Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, and Nakiska. Banff National Park. The Canadian Rockies — all from your front door.

The Privilege of Place
Silverhorn occupies a rare geography within Rocky View County's prestigious Bearspaw corridor — 30 minutes from Calgary's downtown business core, 35 minutes to Calgary International Airport, and within reach of Cochrane's boutique amenities, elite private schools, and championship golf. The Canadian Rockies begin just beyond the horizon. This is the defining appeal of luxury acreage living in Alberta: total remove, total connection.
