Pinnacle Estates Cochrane: Inside a Custom Estate Home
If you've been dreaming about a luxury home in Cochrane with a triple car garage, big views, and room for your whole family to spread out, Pinnacle Estates is one of the few places in town that delivers all three. Estate homes like this don't come up often in Cochrane, and the lots along the ridge are limited. In the video below, I take you inside a custom built estate home in Pinnacle Estates, just over 2,800 square feet with a walkout basement and a view you'll want to wake up to every single day. Here's everything you need to know about the home and the community.

Where is Pinnacle Estates in Cochrane?
Pinnacle Estates is an estate pocket within Sunset Ridge, on the northwest side of Cochrane up Highway 22. It sits close to RancheView School, and the wider Sunset Ridge community has two schools, a pond with a playground, kilometres of pathways, and everyday shops at its entrance. Developed by Melcor, Pinnacle Estates has offered custom homes from a small group of builders, with more phases planned. Builder lineups and phases change, so ask me for the latest.

Inside the estate home: the main floor
The home opens with a big, welcoming entry and a dedicated office right at the front, with a glass feature that pulls in even more natural light, and yes, a view. It would make a beautiful home office or a quiet library.
The kitchen is the heart of this home. It's huge, with an oversized island, built-in appliances, tons of cabinetry and drawers, and a sink under the east facing window that fills the space with light. A walk-through pantry keeps the toaster, air fryer, and snacks out of sight, with beaded glass cabinets and a floating shelf adding warmth. There's even a side door to the deck for the barbecue.
The living room has space for a sectional, a gas fireplace with a plaster finish, and a spot by the patio doors for a dining table. From the garage, you come into a mudroom with built-in lockers, shelving, and cabinets, so everyone's gear has a home.
The triple car garage
A triple garage is rare in Cochrane, and this one is a great size, with an extended double door and a recessed single door. There's room for vehicles, bikes, toys, and even a home gym. If a triple garage is high on your list, Pinnacle Estates is one of the few places in town to find one.
The views and two decks
The main deck has vinyl decking, black railings, and space for both a barbecue and patio furniture, with a view across the valley. Pinnacle Estates has limited lots along the ridge, so if you want an unobstructed view and a larger lot in town, this is the spot. There's also a second, private balcony off the primary suite for your morning coffee.
Upstairs: four bedrooms and a bonus room
The primary suite has double doors, big windows with that same view, a sitting area, and a spa-like ensuite with two separate vanities, a tiled shower, a soaker tub, a private toilet room, and in-floor heating. The walk-in closet has custom built-in shelving.
The upper floor also has a bonus room that's open but nicely separated, perfect for a reading room or a teen hangout, plus a laundry room with a quartz counter, sink, and linen storage. Three more bedrooms and a family bathroom with a dual vanity round it out. Taller ceilings, taller solid core doors, and high end finishes run throughout.
The walkout basement
The walkout basement was left unfinished, with patio doors, plenty of windows, and rough-ins for a bathroom and a future bar. With a main floor this size, there's room for a big rec room, more bedrooms, a gym, or an office, designed exactly the way you want.
