This striking modern farmhouse was designed by Calbridge Homes in collaboration with Rochelle Cote Interior Design, located in the community of Mahogany, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Backing on to Mahogany Lake, Calgary’s largest freshwater lake, this 5,500 square foot dream home boasts multiple outdoor living opportunities.
On the interior of this four-bedroom and three-and-a-half bathroom home, you will find the perfect combination of contemporary and rustic, creating a stylish yet comfortable appeal. A repetition of natural oak and shiplap throughout this dwelling provides a sense of comfortable warmth, while accents of black add drama. Continue below to see the rest of this impressive home…
This home has an impressive chef’s kitchen, featuring dramatic black and stainless cabinets, a built-in bar, an expansive island, and high-end appliances. Two-story windows in the great room frame magnificent views of Mahogany Lake, while the upper catwalk and open living spaces make for a stunning view no matter where you are in the home. With multiple balconies, a screened-in deck, outdoor dining, and a custom fireplace seating area, this house makes the most of its lakefront setting.
What We Love: This striking modern farmhouse offers a luxurious living experience, with a brilliant indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Walls of glass soak in the views of this home’s tranquil lakeside setting, helping to create a destination feel to this home. We are especially loving the master bedroom retreat. It’s a space where we could literally find ourselves spending a lazy Sunday enjoying all the wonderful amenities this space has to offer!

In the kitchen, the element of that modern farmhouse feel is magnified with the matte black custom cabinetry, metal hood, and wooden ceiling beams. The ceilings are 11′-9″, so the decision to add wood onto the ceiling brings down the ceiling height and creating an intimate feel despite the volume.
This radiant home showcases a stunning open-to-below great room, along with plenty of alfresco living space, including a semi-covered outdoor dining room.
On the second level, the family room cantilevers over the great room. If you stand in the corner, you will have an unobstructed view over the lake, creating the illusion of floating, like you are on a ship, looking out to the water. The intent here was to create the feeling of a destination.
The master bedroom boasts large windows and sliding glass doors that lead out to a balcony facing Mahogany Lake. Just off the entrance to the bedrooms is a beverage station with an espresso machine. This is idyllic for the home’s occupants to make a cup of coffee and lounge on the balcony while enjoying the tranquility of the water.
The en-suite bathroom offers an opulent spa-like feel with its free-standing tub, raised ceiling, and over-sized tile shower. The space feels light and airy with a traditional charm.
On the lower level, a finished walk-out basement features a bar with a margarita machine and LED strip lighting. This incredible space sits across from an expansive wine storage/display, a highlight to this home. The goal here was to make it feel “resort-like”. Instead of conventional placement, the bar was designed to be slightly skewed. The intention was to give more interaction with the rest of the space. One can converse with the person serving you at the bar, while also enjoying the media area and across to the bi-folding doors that provide views of the water.
