Quietly tucked away on one of Lions Park’s most desirable residential streets, The Swiss House is one of Canmore’s truly exceptional homes. Originally envisioned and meticulously handcrafted over more than two decades by Swiss-born master woodcraftsman and artist Juerg Salzgeber, owner of Black Maple Studio, this remarkable residence stands as the living showcase of his life’s work and a testament to timeless craftsmanship.From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is unmistakable. More than 30 species of wood from around the world, including over 20 species showcased within the custom kitchen cabinetry alone, have been masterfully incorporated throughout the home.

The thoughtful layout accommodates a variety of residential living arrangements while preserving the warmth and functionality of an extraordinary family home.Beyond its remarkable craftsmanship, the home has a proven history of successfully accommodating long-term residential occupants, including local professionals, employees, and individuals relocating to the Bow Valley.
