Situated on a serene 6.99-acre parcel of beautiful prairie land, this expansive 3,186 sq ft home is a rare find with a storied past and unlimited potential. The original structure, dating back to the early 1900s, was lovingly renovated and expanded in 2005.

A quote for the work needed to complete the project and other documents are available upon request. The location is unparalleled. Enjoy the tranquility of rural living while being just a 15-minute commute to South Calgary or Okotoks. The property is conveniently located near Heritage Heights School and Scott Seaman Sports Rink.

Common Questions: Buying an Acreage in Foothills County

1. What should I know about Foothills County water services for rural land?

Most rural properties in the district rely on private water wells: making it essential to understand flow rates and quality requirements before completing your purchase. You can find detailed technical information in my Foothills well water guide to help with your due diligence.


2. Are there specific zoning rules for horse-friendly land in Foothills County?

Yes. Foothills County utilizes an animal unit system to determine how many horses are permitted on a specific parcel size. If you are searching for horse properties in Foothills County, it is vital to verify that the land is properly zoned for your intended equestrian use.


3. How does school busing work for families living on Foothills County acreages?

Students in the region are typically served by the Foothills School Division or Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools. Busing eligibility and pickup locations are determined by your specific legal land description. It is recommended to contact the school board directly to confirm routes for any properties you are considering.


4. What should I expect regarding Foothills County property taxes for rural real estate?

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of the land and any improvements: such as the home and outbuildings. Generally, taxes in the county are lower than in the city because owners provide their own services: including snow removal and waste management. I can provide current tax assessment data for any specific listings you view.


5. What are the requirements for rural septic systems in Alberta?

Every acreage must have a private sewage disposal system that meets provincial standards. When purchasing Acreages for Sale in Foothills County Alberta, it is common practice to have a septic inspection as a condition of the sale. My septic system guide explains the maintenance and inspection process in detail.


6. Can I run a home-based business using Foothills County zoning bylaws?

The county is supportive of rural entrepreneurs: provided the business does not negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood. Certain types of businesses may require a development permit or fall under discretionary use categories. I suggest reviewing Foothills County real estate land-use bylaws to ensure your business plans are achievable.
