A Legacy Holding
Few properties in the Alberta foothills offer the union of working-ranch utility and recreational privacy that defines Legacy Sky Ranch. Eighty acres of cultivated cropland, one hundred sixty of pasture, and the remainder a tapestry of yard site and forested river bottom — all bordered by a full mile of the Sheep River, with mountain views from every ridge.
Last Light
A fiery prairie sunset washes the home quarter — red barns, white-rail paddocks and the Rocky Mountain front range standing in silhouette beyond.
Evenings like this are the rule, not the exception. From the yard site the horizon opens west across cultivated fields and rolling foothills to the peaks of the Continental Divide.
The Shop, the Residence & the Old Barn
The Residence
A 5,073 square-foot custom-built barn residence anchors the yard site — three bedrooms, vaulted open-beam millwork, hand-finished interiors, and forced-air with in-floor heat drawn from a private spring-fed well. Furnishings, hand-crafted in custom wood, are included.

Equestrian & Working
Equally suited to horses or cattle, the ranch is configured for fifty head with three large horse corrals, four covered runs, six day pens, seven automatic waterers, and an outdoor riding arena. A private gravel landing strip serves the property by air.
Facilities & Outbuildings →
Private Airstrip
The property's private gravel airstrip measures 1,000 metres long by 10 metres wide, paired with a dedicated helipad at the hangar. Aircraft that have landed here include the North American Harvard and multiple variants of the Cessna — and the owner regularly flew in by helicopter from his downtown Calgary office directly to the ranch.
Sheep River Frontage
The Sheep River and Lineham Creek thread through the lower benches of the property — cold, clear, and home to native trout: rainbow trout, brown trout, mountain whitefish and bull trout. Elk, mule deer, whitetail, bear, and turkey move through the cottonwoods. June and July show Legacy Sky Ranch at its finest.
