Calgary Oil Tycoon’s $10M Mega-Mansion Has a Pool — in its Living Room!

With a reported net worth of $1.26 billion, Alberta oil tycoon Clay Riddell is ready to part with his sprawling home, built in the 1970s, which sits on an expansive 160-acre lot just outside of Calgary.

The driveway to the home features a life-sized statue of a horse and a colt, indicative of the horse stables that are part of the property.

The home was built with extensive windows throughout in order to take full advantage of the panoramic view of the foothills and mountains beyond.

The home’s design esthetic is decidedly Western, from the wildlife-themed artwork to the masculine, dark wood throughout.

The music room boasts a gorgeous beamed ceiling atop gleaming hardwood floors, with a full wall of windows offering glorious views of Alberta’s landscape.

The dining area is informal but spacious, befitting of a self-made billionaire. French doors open to the backyard patio.

Whether you want to call it iconoclastic, eccentric or just plain awesome, there’s no denying the idea of having an indoor swimming pool right in the living room is kind of the ultimate conversation piece.

The kitchen is large and immaculate, with brick accents and dark-coloured granite countertops adding a distinctively masculine feel.

This bathroom, one of five in the home, boasts a large walk-in steam shower.

Those with green thumbs will appreciate this spacious, fully enclosed greenhouse.

The home was designed for entertaining, and that’s apparent with this expansive backyard patio area, featuring stone pavers and plenty of space in which to gather for good times in the Alberta summertime sun.

With overstuffed couches surrounding a brick-encased fireplace, this is a room made for relaxing and kicking back.

Adjacent to the open-concept kitchen is this casual dining area, with extra-high ceilings and large windows opening up the space even further.

Riddell’s office area glorifies in the look and texture of wood, from the hardwood floors to the paneled wood walls.

This room is apparently being used as an additional office space, but could be converted into pretty much anything – say, a fitness centre or games room.

The master bedroom is all about ambience, with massive windows taking advantage of the spectacular view while flooding the room with loads of natural light.

Featuring a deep soaker tub and plenty of marble, the opulent master bath provides a relaxing oasis.

Another of the home’s six bedrooms, which boasts a cozy and comfortable feel.

The full-size tennis court is private and shielded by large trees on all sides. There are even lights to keep the court well-lit whenever the impulse strikes for a night game.

The home comes equipped with a 15-stall horse stable, making it an equestrian’s dream. And with 160 landscaped acres surrounding the home, there’s plenty of room to roam on horseback!
