Set within the coveted Lions Park enclave of Canmore, 5 Woodside Lane represented a rare convergence of scale, privacy, and proximity. Comprising two residential lots, the property offered walkable access to Main Street while enjoying a remarkable natural setting—backing onto protected parkland, a side channel of the Bow River, and the Large Islands. With more than 5,000 square feet of living space, the residence stood among Canmore’s most substantial and private homes.
A Considered Approach
In preparation for market, we worked closely with the sellers over several months, taking a deliberate and methodical approach to presentation. Professional staging, coordinated handyman and trade work, and a pre-inspection allowed us to address details proactively. Exterior improvements further enhanced the home’s presence, ensuring it was positioned to resonate with discerning buyers seeking a luxury mountain residence.
Global Reach, Strategic Pivot
The property generated meaningful interest, including multiple second showings. As market conditions evolved, we collaborated with the sellers to refine the strategy, ultimately engaging Sotheby's Concierge Auctions—a tailored solution for exceptional homes where global visibility and urgency are paramount.
Through Sotheby’s International Realty’s local, national, and international network, the home was showcased to qualified buyers worldwide. Virtual showings extended reach to buyers across the United States and overseas, amplifying exposure well beyond the local market.
The Result
The auction attracted six registered bidders and concluded successfully:
-
Sold at auction
-
As-is, where-is
-
30-day closing
This marked the third successful luxury auction sale in Canmore using this approach.
