From the moment you arrive, there's an immediate sense this property is something special. Set on 4.26 acres, it offers presence, privacy, and understated grandeur, a rare chance at acreage living this close to the city. Just 10 minutes to South Health Campus, 25 minutes to downtown Calgary, and 18 minutes to the train, near schools, recreation, a year-round indoor ice arena with walking/running track, the Okotoks Agricultural Society indoor heated arena, and river access. Timeless shingle-style siding of high-quality compressed wood, extensive board and batten detailing, and steep gables carry a consistent architectural style through the 5,589 sqft home and across the outbuildings. Expansive windows capture natural light and views in every direction. Rooms are exceptionally generous and comfortably accommodate substantial, oversized furnishings, more than photos convey. The 12' x 6' island sits in easy proportion within the kitchen featuring hand-painted raised panel cabinetry, marble and granite surfaces, a statement double fridge/freezer, and a 48" dual fuel range. A walk-in pantry with bar fridge and copper sink adds functionality, while custom reclaimed wood shelving brings warmth.

Developed throughout with the density and detail of a beautifully landscaped city lot on an extraordinary scale, some landscaped islands rival an entire city property. Mature trees, layered plantings, extensive stonework and cobblestone pathways, a pond and waterfall, expansive fire-pit area, irrigation, landscape lighting, power and water front to back, a fenced garden with raised beds, an insulated, powered chicken coop, and a long paved illuminated driveway reflect a maturity that would take years to recreate.

Foothills County Acreage Buyer Guide
Buying an acreage in Foothills County involves different considerations from purchasing a home in Calgary or Okotoks. Before making an offer, investigate the property's water and wastewater systems, legal access, permitted uses, buildings and ongoing ownership costs.
Wells, Water Supply & Septic
Confirm whether water comes from a private well, cistern or communal system. Request available well records, water-quality tests and supply information. For septic systems, review installation records, location, age and maintenance history. Arrange qualified assessments where appropriate.
Land-Use Districts & Restrictions
Check the property's Foothills County land-use district, title restrictions and existing development approvals. Keeping livestock, operating a business, adding a dwelling or subdividing land may require specific permissions. Do not assume acreage size determines what is allowed.
Shops, Garages & Outbuildings
Inspect workshop foundations, roofs, doors, electrical service, heating and drainage. Ask for available permit records and verify whether the buildings are suitable for your intended use. A shop approved for personal storage is not automatically approved for commercial activity.
Horses, Livestock & Pasture
For horse or livestock properties, check permitted animal uses, fencing, pasture condition, water availability, shelters and manure management. Confirm trailer access and examine the condition of barns, paddocks and riding facilities rather than relying on listing descriptions.
Road Access & Winter Travel
Confirm legal access and whether roads or approaches are publicly or privately maintained. Gravel conditions, steep driveways, snow drifting and spring runoff can affect travel. Check the actual route to Calgary, Okotoks or High River and ask who is responsible for snow clearing.
Utilities, Internet & Maintenance
Verify electricity, natural gas or propane, heating equipment, internet availability and mobile coverage at the actual address. Budget for driveway maintenance, snow removal, fencing, water treatment and servicing of private wastewater systems where applicable.
Fire Protection & Insurance
Obtain an insurance quote for the specific property before removing relevant purchase conditions. Insurers may consider building construction, heating systems, wildfire exposure, distance to fire services and access to firefighting water. Confirm coverage for shops, barns and other outbuildings.
Schools, Services & Daily Travel
Check school eligibility and transportation arrangements for the specific address. Compare travel times to groceries, healthcare, recreation and work, particularly from more remote properties around Priddis, Millarville and the western Foothills.
Before removing purchase conditions: Confirm the investigations required for your particular acreage, including financing, insurance, title review, property inspections, water and septic assessments, and municipal inquiries. Where applicable, obtain qualified advice about property boundaries, drainage, easements and the intended use of the land.
Understanding Foothills County Acreage Prices
Foothills County acreage prices can vary considerably between properties near Calgary, Okotoks, High River and the western foothills. Two listings with similar acreage sizes may have very different asking prices because of their location, residence, usable land, improvements and available services. Comparing relevant sold properties is more useful than relying on acreage size alone.
Location & Comparable Sales
Compare properties in similar locations rather than using one county-wide price benchmark. An acreage near De Winton or Okotoks may compete with different buyers and properties than a rural home near Millarville or Diamond Valley. Recent local sales provide useful context, especially when lot size and home condition are comparable.
Homes, Land & Improvements
The residence, usable acreage, topography, views, landscaping and outbuildings all influence how a property compares with competing listings. A shop, barn or equestrian facility may appeal to a particular buyer, but its contribution to market value depends on condition, permitted use and local demand.
Asking Price vs. Sold Price
An active listing shows what a seller is asking, not what a buyer has agreed to pay. Review recent comparable sales, property condition, time on market and any meaningful differences in land or improvements. Unusual acreages may have few close comparables and require a more detailed assessment.
Acreage pricing tip: When comparing Foothills County properties, consider the total package: home, land, improvements, servicing and location. Avoid applying a simple price-per-acre calculation to properties with substantially different residences or development potential. For additional context, review the Foothills Acreage Sold Prices Guide.
Explore Foothills County Acreages by Community
Looking for an acreage near Calgary, Okotoks or High River? Explore the surrounding Foothills communities to compare rural settings, travel routes and available properties. These searches help narrow your options by location without limiting you to one property type.
Acreages Near Okotoks Compare rural homes and acreage properties outside Okotoks, with access to town shopping, schools, recreation and Highway 2 routes. Acreages Near High River Explore country homes and rural parcels around High River, with access to the town's services and nearby agricultural areas. De Winton Acreages Discover country residential properties and acreage homes in the rural area south of Calgary and north of Okotoks. Priddis Real Estate & Acreages Search rural homes and country properties around Priddis, an area known for wooded landscapes and foothills terrain southwest of Calgary. Millarville Acreages Explore rural residential properties, larger parcels and horse-property options near Millarville and the Highway 22 corridor. Acreages Near Diamond Valley Browse country properties around Diamond Valley, the town formed from Black Diamond and Turner Valley, near the Sheep River and western Foothills. Heritage Pointe Real Estate Compare established residential and estate-style homes near Calgary's southern boundary. This is a broader home search, not exclusively an acreage search. Foothills Towns & Communities Learn about nearby towns, hamlets and rural communities before deciding which part of Foothills County best fits your needs.
A note about property locations: The towns of Okotoks, High River and Diamond Valley are separate municipalities from Foothills County. Acreages advertised as being "near" these communities may fall within the County or another jurisdiction. Always confirm the municipality and legal description of a property before relying on County land-use rules.
Frequently Asked Questions About Foothills County Acreages
Buying a rural property near Calgary or Okotoks involves questions that do not always arise with a home in town. These answers explain important distinctions involving Foothills County acreages for sale, property locations, land use, water systems and purchase planning.
What qualifies as an acreage in Foothills County?
"Acreage" is a common real estate description, not a single Foothills County land-use designation. Listings may include country residential parcels, rural homes on larger lots, agricultural properties or vacant land. The permitted uses depend on the specific land-use district and applicable approvals. Check the legal description, parcel size, land title and Foothills County Land Use Bylaw before assuming what can be built or operated on a property.
Are acreages near Okotoks and High River actually inside Foothills County?
Not necessarily. Okotoks and High River are separate municipalities, as is Diamond Valley. An acreage advertised as being near one of these towns may be located in Foothills County, but the marketing description does not establish its legal municipality. Verify the property's municipal address and legal land description to determine which planning, taxation and land-use rules apply.
Can I keep horses or other livestock on a Foothills County acreage?
Some properties permit horses or other livestock, but acreage ownership alone does not guarantee that use. The property's land-use district, applicable animal-keeping rules and registered restrictions must be checked. Before buying, provide Foothills County's planning department with the legal description and details of the animals and facilities you intend to have. Also assess fencing, pasture capacity, shelters, manure management and year-round water availability.
Do Foothills County acreages have private wells and septic systems?
Many rural properties use private wells and on-site wastewater systems, but servicing arrangements vary. A home may instead use a cistern, hauled water or a communal supply. Request available well drilling records, water-quality results and information about supply capacity. For septic systems, identify the system type, installation records, location, maintenance history and condition. Consider qualified inspections and testing before removing relevant purchase conditions.
Does owning an acreage automatically give me the right to use groundwater or surface water?
No. Water use is governed by Alberta legislation, and the requirements depend on the source and intended use. Certain household and traditional agricultural uses may qualify for exemptions or statutory rights, while other uses can require authorization. A well on the property does not establish an unlimited right to withdraw water. For irrigation, commercial use or significant livestock requirements, confirm the applicable rules and any existing water licences or authorizations with the appropriate Alberta authority.
Can I build a detached shop or run a business from my Foothills County acreage?
Permission depends on the property's land-use district and the specific proposal. A detached shop may be subject to building size, height, setback, location and permit requirements. Operating a business can involve additional rules for employees, customers, outdoor storage, traffic or commercial equipment. Ask Foothills County about the proposed building or activity before purchasing land or committing to construction.
What inspections and documents should I review before buying an acreage?
In addition to a home inspection, consider professional well and septic assessments, available permits, utility information and the condition of shops or barns. Review the land title for registered interests and restrictions, confirm legal access, and investigate boundaries or encroachments where necessary. Obtain insurance and financing confirmation for the specific property. The appropriate investigations and purchase conditions depend on the acreage and transaction.
Is financing a Foothills County acreage different from financing a city home?
It can be. Lenders may evaluate acreage size, the residence, access, property condition, marketability and whether the land is primarily residential or agricultural. Large parcels, vacant land and properties with significant farm improvements may be assessed differently from standard residential homes. Ask a lender or mortgage broker about eligibility, appraisal requirements and down-payment expectations for the specific listing before making an unconditional offer.
Where should I search for acreages near Calgary, Okotoks and High River?
For access to south Calgary, start by comparing rural properties around De Winton and the northern part of Foothills County. Acreages near Okotoks and High River may appeal to buyers who want nearby town services. Priddis and Millarville offer different western foothills settings, while rural areas around Diamond Valley provide another search option. Check individual listing locations and driving routes rather than assuming all properties in an area have similar access.
