    A rare 12.5 acre estate in the heart of Bearspaw. Previously offered on 4.29 acres, this property has been fundamentally transformed through the strategic assembly of an expansive western parcel, now encompassing approximately 12.5 acres of private land in one of Rocky View County’s most prestigious enclaves. For the established family or equestrian buyer seeking meaningful scale, long-term value, and exceptional privacy, this is an entirely elevated opportunity. The 6,000+ sq ft log and stone residence remains a striking blend of mountain architecture and refined modern design. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive windows frame panoramic views, while multiple gathering spaces create seamless flow for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The chef’s kitchen, complete with natural-edged island, granite surfaces, farmhouse sink, and premium appliances, anchors the main level. A dramatic great room with heated stamped concrete floors and a commanding stone fireplace offers a sophisticated yet welcoming focal point. Formal and informal dining areas, a private office, and thoughtfully designed secondary spaces provide versatility for a growing family or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary retreat features a spa-inspired ensuite with steam shower and air-jet tub, along with two additional bedrooms and curated architectural details that add warmth and character. The fully developed lower level includes a games room, media room with fireplace, wine cellar, and additional bedroom, creating a complete lifestyle environment within the home. What truly distinguishes this offering is the land. Over twelve acres dramatically expands the privacy, usability, and long-term potential of the property. The additional parcel opens the door to future equestrian enhancements, expanded recreation, additional outbuildings, or simple enjoyment of uninterrupted space and mountain views. This is a rare chance to secure acreage of this scale in Bearspaw without sacrificing proximity to Calgary. A heated six-car garage with radiant flooring, workshop capability, and integrated Control4 automation further elevates the estate’s functionality and appeal. More details

Common Questions: Buying an Acreage Near Cochrane

1. What should I know about water services for acreages near Cochrane?

In the Cochrane region, water services vary. Many Rocky View County rural homes rely on private water wells, while others are part of regional water co-ops or tie into municipal lines. It is essential to verify the flow rate and water quality during your due diligence. For more on rural infrastructure, check out my guide on Alberta Septic and Water Basics.


2. Are there specific zoning rules for equestrian properties near Cochrane?

Yes. Rocky View County has specific bylaws regarding "animal units." Even if you find the perfect horse-friendly acreage near Cochrane, you must ensure the parcel size and zoning allow for the number of horses you plan to keep. You can find specialized listings with the right zoning in my Rocky View County Guide.


3. How do school bus routes work for rural real estate near Cochrane?

Most rural students are served by Rocky View Schools (RVS). Bus eligibility and pick-up locations are tied to your specific land description. For families searching for acreages for sale near Cochrane, AB, I recommend verifying transportation routes with the district before finalizing a purchase.


4. What are the typical property taxes for rural real estate near Cochrane?

Rocky View County property taxes are generally lower than those within the Calgary city limits for equivalent land value. However, you are responsible for your own services, such as snow removal and septic maintenance. It’s important to review the specific mill rates for the current tax year before purchasing.


5. What are the internet options for Cochrane rural real estate?

Connectivity has improved drastically. Many residents looking for a secluded country retreat utilize Starlink or regional fixed-wireless providers. High-speed options are often a major priority for those working remotely from their Foothills estates.


6. Can I run a home-based business from a Cochrane-area acreage?

Rocky View County is generally supportive of home-based businesses, especially those requiring shop space. However, "discretionary use" permits are often required for businesses involving high traffic. Always check the local land-use bylaws for Cochrane real estate hubs before committing.
