    *** Massive 325 x 115 foot lot*** Rarely does an opportunity like this come available within Calgary city limits. Nearly one acre of inner-city land tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in northwest Calgary, offering space, privacy, and possibilities that are becoming almost impossible to find this close to downtown. Whether you're looking for a future redevelopment site, a holding property with income, a mechanic’s dream setup, or simply room to breathe while staying in the city — this property delivers. The existing home provides comfortable functionality with a renovated kitchen, two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, plus an additional bedroom and bathroom downstairs. More importantly, the property is already generating rental and storage income, helping offset carrying costs while plans are developed for the future. The real value here is the land and flexibility. With multiple garage structures including two double garages and two single garages, there is room for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, workshops, contractors, hobbyists, or small business storage. Properties with this kind of usable space inside city limits are exceptionally rare. Another major advantage — the property operates on its own well and septic system, meaning no concern over future municipal water main or sewer line projects impacting the property. The location offers the best of both worlds: peaceful, private, and surrounded by other large inner-city parcels, yet only minutes to Crowchild Trail, downtown Calgary, hospitals, the university, and quick access west to the mountains. For builders and investors, this is an ideal hold-and-plan opportunity. For tradespeople, collectors, or buyers simply needing space that traditional city lots cannot offer, this property opens doors that rarely exist in today’s market. Massive inner-city land. Multiple income streams. Endless potential. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce in Calgary. 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.
