A History of Home...In 1967 The Beatles released Sgt Pepper, Montreal hosted Expo, and Harley Teal purchased oceanview land on Leslee Drive for eleven thousand dollars. Around 1971, a well diviner charged the owners twenty dollars for his services and Tri-K drilling found a full 5 gpm well in June. Plans were drawn for the home by Hammond, Farmer and Sharp in 1972 and Vandriel construction completed the home the following summer. Their craftsmanship stands as if it were yesterday. Over the next 15 years, extensive gardens are developed including cutting beds, orchards and privacy hedging. In July 1988, Hank Schubart designed and supervised an addition to the home while Calgary hosted the Olympics and we coped with 10.5% interest rates. Through 42 years, this extraordinary property has been carefully developed, lovingly maintained and thoroughly enjoyed by original, pioneering owners. It is ready to grow in new directions and awaits a new journey with its new owners.
