Key Characteristics & Appeal
This is a 1991-built, single-story home situated on an exceptionally large, approximately 4.5-acre lot in Winnipeg's Wilkes South area. With 1,313 sqft of living space, a split garage, and an unfinished basement, the house itself offers functional basics. The true standout feature is the land—a nearly 200,000 sqft parcel that ranks in the top tier for size across the entire city. This creates a rare blend of suburban convenience and expansive, private outdoor space.
The appeal lies in this unique balance. It suits a buyer who values immense privacy, room for hobbies, gardening, or potential future expansion more than a large or modernized house. It’s a practical home with a extraordinary yard. The property would particularly suit hands-on buyers, families seeking space for children and pets to roam, or those with hobbies like gardening or woodworking that benefit from extensive land. The recent sale price above the assessed value suggests the market recognizes the premium for such a sizable lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the lot size actually allow for?
A: At nearly 4.5 acres, the property offers significant privacy and space far beyond a typical residential yard. It provides ample room for extensive gardens, recreational areas, outbuildings (subject to city bylaws), and a strong sense of seclusion while still being within the city.
Q: How does the house compare to the land?
A: The home is a modest, functional 1990s bungalow. Buyers should view this primarily as a land purchase with a comfortable, move-in ready house included, rather than a showcase home. The value proposition is the space, not high-end finishes.
Q: What is the significance of the city rankings provided?
A: They highlight the property's standout feature: its lot size ranks in the top 0% city-wide, meaning it's larger than virtually all other residential lots in Winnipeg. This objectively confirms the rarity of the offering.
Q: The house rankings for size and age are lower; is that a concern?
A: Not necessarily, as it reflects the home's modest footprint and 1991 vintage compared to newer or larger builds. It confirms this property is for buyers prioritizing land over a large or new house.
Q: Are there any considerations with such a large lot?
A: Prospective buyers should consider the maintenance required for the land (lawn care, snow clearing) and inquire about associated costs (property taxes) and any municipal bylaws regarding land use, fencing, or potential future development.
