    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. Rare oiled wide-plank hardwood, travertine, and copper fixtures run throughout. The living room extends to a covered outdoor space with a vaulted wood ceiling and double-sided fireplace. A custom open staircase connects all levels, leading upstairs to a spacious bonus room, dual primary walk-in closets, and direct laundry access for a practical circular flow. An attached nanny suite offers a private entrance, deck, full bathroom, and bar area. Originally an open farmer's field, the property has been transformed into fully established estate grounds, with landscaping and exterior site improvements that would cost well over half a million dollars to reproduce today. 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. Equestrian-ready, the property includes a barn with landscaped patio and recreation/pool table space, matching horse shelters, a covered feeder, water stations, pastures, and fencing. The oversized 1,500 sqft in-floor heated garage offers built-in cabinetry, paved parking, and RV parking with full power hookup.

Interactive Map: Acreages for Sale Near High River

Explore the location of acreages for sale near High River, Alberta, and compare rural properties in the surrounding Foothills County countryside. Use the map to identify properties north toward Aldersyde, east along rural roads, or west and south of High River.

How to Use the High River Acreage Map

Use the map controls to examine the location of available properties and their proximity to High River, Highway 2, Highway 2A and surrounding rural roads. Where listing markers are available, select a property to review its advertised details.

Pay particular attention to the actual driving route into High River. Rural properties throughout Foothills County may be advertised with nearby town names even when they are located farther away than expected.

Important location check: Map markers help with initial comparisons, but they should not replace verification of the property's legal land description, access rights, parcel boundaries or driving route. Confirm these details before making a purchase decision.

Buying an Acreage Near High River: Land Use & Due Diligence

Before purchasing an acreage near High River, confirm that the property's legal status, improvements and rural services support your plans. Many surrounding acreages fall under Foothills County Land Use Bylaw 60/2014, which regulates land uses and development according to each parcel's designation. The checks below will help you identify important questions before removing purchase conditions.

1. Land Use & Permitted Activities

Confirm the property's current land-use district with Foothills County. Agricultural and country-residential properties may have different rules for livestock, home-based businesses, equipment storage and additional buildings. Ask whether your intended activity is permitted, discretionary or requires further approval.

2. Shops, Barns & Building Permits

If a workshop, garage, barn or riding facility is important, request available development and safety-code permit records. Check building size, setbacks, electrical service, access and intended use. An existing structure does not automatically mean every proposed use is approved.

3. Well Water & Rural Supply

Determine whether the property uses a drilled well, cistern, hauled water or another supply arrangement. Request available well records, water-quality tests, yield information and treatment-system details. Buyers planning gardens or livestock should establish whether the supply can meet those additional needs.

4. Septic System & Wastewater

Identify the private sewage system and request available installation permits, plans and maintenance records. Have the system assessed by an appropriately qualified professional. Alberta's private sewage requirements fall under the provincial Safety Codes framework, and new installations or alterations may require permits.

5. Highwood River, Flood Risk & Drainage

For properties near the Highwood River, waterways, low-lying areas or coulees, review current flood-hazard information and applicable development restrictions. Examine drainage around the house, shop and access road. Ask about previous water intrusion, erosion, standing water and insurance availability.

6. Legal Access, Boundaries & Title

Confirm legal road access and review any registered easements or restrictive covenants. Request available survey information or a Real Property Report, as appropriate. Determine who maintains shared approaches and private roads, particularly during winter and spring thaw.

Planning to Subdivide or Build Another Residence?

Do not assume that a larger High River-area acreage can be subdivided or accommodate a second residence. Foothills County distinguishes between land-use redesignation, development approval and subdivision approval. The property's existing designation, access, servicing and applicable planning policies influence what may be possible. Obtain parcel-specific guidance from County Planning and Development before relying on future development potential.

Documents to Request Before Removing Conditions

  • Land title: Registered easements, restrictions and other relevant registrations.
  • Survey or Real Property Report: Available information about boundaries and building locations.
  • Development records: Applicable permits for the residence, additions, barns and shops.
  • Water information: Available well records, water testing, servicing agreements and equipment details.
  • Septic documentation: System plans, permits, service history and inspection findings.
  • Property expenses: Tax information, insurance quotations, utilities and any shared-access maintenance costs.

Documentation varies between rural properties. Missing records should be investigated rather than treated automatically as proof of non-compliance.

Official Regulations & Property Resources

For current regulations, consult the Foothills County Land Use Bylaw, the County's flood-hazard overlay information, and the Alberta private sewage standards. These resources should be reviewed alongside the specific property's legal information and professional inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acreages Near High River

Buyers searching for High River acreages for sale often have questions about property sizes, rural locations, development rules and ownership costs. These answers address practical considerations when comparing country homes and acreage properties in the surrounding Foothills County area.

 1. What types of acreages can I find near High River? 

Properties marketed as High River acreages may include smaller country-residential homes, rural bungalows with detached garages, properties with workshops, hobby farms and larger holdings with barns or pasture. Some buyers also consider vacant parcels intended for future residential construction.

The important distinction is whether you need a residence with additional outdoor space or land capable of supporting specific agricultural, equestrian or commercial activities. Not every property advertised as an acreage has the same permitted uses or available services.

 2. Are small acreages available near High River? 

Smaller acreage properties are one category to look for in the High River and surrounding Foothills County market. They may appeal to buyers who want room for gardens, pets, additional vehicle storage or a detached workshop without maintaining a large agricultural holding. Availability changes as properties are listed and sold.

When comparing parcels, check the usable yard area rather than relying only on the advertised acreage. Steep slopes, drainage features, shelterbelts, easements and the position of existing buildings can affect how much land is practical for your intended activities.

 3. Can I buy an acreage near High River for under $300,000? 

There is no guarantee that a residential acreage is currently available near High River for less than $300,000. Properties at this price point may be limited, and advertisements for inexpensive rural land should not be assumed to include a habitable residence or an approved building site.

If your maximum budget is $300,000, check current listings for properties meeting that price limit, then establish whether they contain a home, vacant land or another form of real estate. For land-only options, review land for sale in Foothills County. Any construction or servicing costs must be considered separately.

 4. How do I choose an acreage location near High River for commuting? 

Start by comparing properties with access to Highway 2, Highway 2A and the local roads serving High River. Acreages north of town toward Aldersyde may suit buyers travelling regularly toward Okotoks or Calgary, while locations east, south or west of High River may involve different routes and driving conditions.

Do not rely on a general advertised commute time. Confirm the property's driveway location, the connecting public or private roads and your actual destination. A rural property's mailing address does not necessarily indicate its distance from High River.

 5. Can I keep horses on an acreage near High River? 

Certain rural properties in Foothills County can accommodate horses, but permitted animal uses depend on the parcel's land-use district and applicable requirements. The presence of a barn, fencing or pasture does not by itself confirm that every equestrian activity is approved.

Check the land-use designation, pasture condition, shelter, fencing, year-round water supply and access for horse trailers. If you need an indoor arena, boarding facilities or a commercial equestrian operation, confirm the proposed use with Foothills County Planning and Development.

Explore horse properties for sale in Foothills County for a more specialized property search.

 6. Can I build a custom home on vacant land near High River? 

Building a home on vacant rural land depends on the property's location, land-use designation, access and servicing arrangements. A parcel advertised as vacant land is not automatically an approved residential building site.

Before purchasing for construction, confirm that the proposed dwelling is allowed and investigate development and safety-code permits, building setbacks, water supply, private sewage suitability, electrical servicing and road access. Some sites may require additional studies or approvals.

For land within Foothills County, review the applicable land-use district under Land Use Bylaw 60/2014. Properties inside the Town of High River are subject to different municipal regulations.

 7. Should I check flood-hazard maps before buying near High River? 

Yes, particularly when evaluating properties near the Highwood River, Little Bow River, low-lying land or drainage channels. Alberta finalized the Highwood River Flood Study in May 2025. The study covers portions of the Highwood and Little Bow river systems through High River and Foothills County.

Use the provincial flood-hazard mapping tools to review the specific property location. Ask about past flooding, water intrusion, drainage, riverbank erosion and insurance coverage. A flood-map result is an important due-diligence input, not a substitute for professional property-specific assessment.

See the Alberta Flood Hazard Identification Program.

 8. What is the difference between buying in High River and buying an acreage in Foothills County? 

The Town of High River and Foothills County are separate municipalities. A home within High River is subject to the Town's municipal regulations, taxes and available servicing arrangements. A rural acreage outside the town boundary may instead be governed by Foothills County's land-use rules and rely on private water and wastewater systems.

Compare the actual property tax assessment, water and sewage arrangements, waste collection, road maintenance and permitted land uses for each property. Do not assume that an acreage with a High River mailing address receives the same services as a home within town limits.

If municipal services are a priority, compare the rural listings with High River homes for sale.

Confirm Regulations for the Specific Property

For a property in Foothills County, use the official Foothills County Land Use Bylaw to check permitted and discretionary uses. Municipal regulations, property approvals and listing availability can change. Confirm the current requirements using the property's legal land description before making a purchase decision.
