    Calling all nature lovers, people who love to fish, kayak, canoe, families who love to explore and even musicians! Just a 5-minute drive south of Sundre or a 60-minute commute from Stoney Trail, this property is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. There are endless possibilities including homesteading, embracing a peaceful retirement, and creating music in the beautiful studio with phenomenal acoustics! Boasting 6.77 acres to explore you can hike down from the house to the Red Deer river and enjoy the serenity it has to offer. To the North of the property is crown land that you can also go for walks through and to the West of the House you can enjoy mountain views. The house itself is a well-kept renovated bungalow with beautiful rustic hardwood floors throughout. From the cozy dining nook, to the wood burning stove, to the wood finishes, to the 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms- this is a home with great charm and ready for new memories to be made in. We would be amiss to not boast about the beautiful spacious addition that was built by Heritage Timber Frames with extra care as a studio to showcase the owner’s concert grande piano. This addition was built with extra care, from the triple pane glass Loewen windows, weeping tile (added both to the addition and original cabin), Decra shingle panel metal roof (with a 50 year warranty), and soaring wood beams, there are endless possibilities one can do with this space. The intentionality doesn’t stop there with the exterior showcasing decorative rocks that were lovingly picked from the Red Deer river. There are a few additional buildings on the property including a separate heated studio that could be a fabulous man cave or teen hang out spot, 2 garden sheds and a barn with water to it. There are also additional power and well services that the previous owners created with thoughts of building an additional residence. This is a property you don’t want to miss! More details

Frequently Asked Questions About Acreages Near Calgary

Where can I find acreages for sale near Calgary?

Top areas for Calgary acreage real estate include Foothills County, Rocky View County, and Wheatland County. Within these counties, sought-after rural communities such as Bearspaw, Springbank, DeWinton, Chestermere, and Okotoks offer country properties with convenient city access.

What lot sizes are typical for acreage homes near Calgary?

Acreage homes near Calgary generally sit on parcels ranging from 2 to over 20 acres. Premium listings may include even larger sections, particularly for equestrian properties or luxury rural estates. Zoning regulations—especially in Foothills and Rocky View County—dictate minimum lot sizes, so always check local bylaws when purchasing or developing rural land.

Are these properties suitable for horses or hobby farming?

Yes—many Calgary-area rural properties are zoned for agricultural use, making them ideal for horse owners, hobby farms, small-scale crop production, greenhouses, or livestock ventures. Look for listings that mention barns, fenced pastures, or water rights, and review municipal land use policies to confirm permitted uses and future development potential.

How far are most country homes from downtown Calgary?

Most rural real estate near Calgary is located within a 15 to 45-minute commute, depending on the region. Communities like Springbank, DeWinton, and Bearspaw offer quick access to major routes, while more remote areas in Wheatland County or Mountain View County provide better land value with a slightly longer drive.
