5 Grand Canadian Estates from River Valley to Waterfront Acreage

Beyond private gates in Keswick on the River, The Hendriks Estate unfolds across more than two acres between the River Valley and Windermere Golf & Country Club, balancing elegance with genuine seclusion. Inside, crafted living space is introduced by striking stonework and a grand living room, then flows to a chef’s kitchen and formal dining area designed for unhurried gatherings. A curved four-season room frames panoramic views, shifting the mood with the seasons. The main level is anchored by a primary suite with a spa-inspired ensuite, while upstairs a second living area and two bedrooms look out over the golf course. Downstairs, a walkout lower level adds a full secondary kitchen and two additional ensuite bedrooms, opening to a beautifully landscaped backyard oasis. Outside, a detached equipment/storage building, a tranquil gazebo, and space to expand the garage leave room for what comes next.

Surrounded by 101 acres of pristine Southern Alberta landscape, this stone compound brings refined design to a true estate setting. Meticulously crafted by the owner, it balances European sophistication with modern functionality, with architectural precision and custom finishes woven throughout. Four distinct living areas create a flexible compound: a grand main residence, described as a European mini-mansion with exquisite stonework and timeless design elements, plus a one-bedroom carriage house and two apartments above the stables for extended family or guests. For equestrian pursuits, the property includes an indoor arena suited to hosting riding events, complete with a heated indoor viewing room, as well as a fenced outdoor riding arena. Currently operated as a high-end Airbnb with a rare 5* Super Host rating, it’s a setting designed for multi-generational living, gatherings, and quiet days on the land.

Along the water’s edge in Prince Edward County, this rare cottage-compound setting spans 10.5 acres with 550 feet of prime West Lake waterfront and 905 feet of frontage on County Road 12.

The resort-approved plan also includes a bike retail shop and a restaurant café, positioned to serve the steady flow of visitors headed to nearby Sandbanks Provincial Park. Views toward the sandbanks set the scene, while the shoreline invites days of swimming, boating, and fishing. A century brick duplex sits at the front of the property, anchoring the site with heritage character and a sense of arrival.
