Unique and viable property consisting of 3 parcels, located in town behind the industrial area and bordering Mud Lake. The main parcel is 5.66 acres, zoned for future development, but currently used for residential purposes. The nice mature yard offers a large older bungalow with 3 bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms (including a half bath off the master bedroom plus an additional bathtub in one of the secondary bedrooms), a spacious dining room, a bright kitchen with eating nook, a sunken living room with gas stove, a large entry way, and a laundry room. The unfinished basement serves as extra storage and access to the utilities. The 22x24 detached garage is insulated, boarded and wired. The outbuildings require some maintenance and include a chicken coop, a storage shed/greenhouse, a smaller storage shed with sauna, and an older home in poor condition. The marshy part of the parcel leading to the lake, offers additional privacy and a safe and welcoming habitat for wild life. The Future development zoning offers numerous options. The current residential use is legal, but non-conforming and could potentially offer the possibility of being re-zoned to industrial. This could allow the owner to use the residence while operating a small industrial business. The property is connected to municipal water, but has its own septic system. 2 additional parcels zoned industrial and consisting of 0.13 acre combined, are included on the title. This one of a kind parcel made affordable is the ideal property for an investor, a developer, or just someone looking for town living with a large lot and extra privacy.

Common Questions: Clearwater County & West Country Living
1. What defines "West Country" real estate in Clearwater County?
The "West Country" refers to the rugged, forested area stretching from Rocky Mountain House toward the mountains. These properties often offer direct or nearby access to Crown Land, making them a top choice for those seeking recreational freedom and absolute privacy.
2. Are there specific building restrictions for foothills acreages?
Yes, development is guided by the Clearwater County Land Use Bylaw. Because of the varied terrain, there are specific regulations regarding building on slopes, setbacks from water bodies like the North Saskatchewan River, and the number of outbuildings allowed.
3. What are the school options for families in Rocky Mountain House and Caroline?
The county is primarily served by the Wild Rose School Division. There are robust K-12 options in Rocky Mountain House and the village of Caroline. For a full map of busing routes and school zones, visit my Clearwater County School Guide.
4. How is the well water quality in the Clearwater foothills?
Water can vary significantly based on elevation and proximity to the river valleys. While many acreages have excellent high-volume wells, some higher-altitude properties may require cisterns. I always recommend a thorough well and flow test as part of your due diligence.
5. Can I keep horses or livestock on my Clearwater County acreage?
Most rural residential parcels allow for a certain number of "animal units". This is a horse-friendly region with many equestrian-ready properties. It’s important to verify the exact animal count allowed for your specific zoning before purchasing.
6. What makes the David Thompson corridor so desirable?
It’s the ultimate "Outdoor Playground". Properties along this corridor offer unmatched access to Abraham Lake, hiking trails, and the West Country's best fishing. It’s perfect for buyers looking for luxury mountain retreats or year-round recreational bases.
