    This special gem is Conveniently located off paved road just north and a bit west of Cayley. Local to High River, Cayley and Nanton. The cutest 15 acre farmstead that you have ever seen !! Sweet ,cozy original farm house that is in very good condition. 2 bedrooms and a bonus room up, and a den type area, living room, kitchen and porch area on the main. No basement just the original area for the hot water tank and the " Reverse Osmosis System!!" Yes! You have a great water system in keeping all the water fully drinkable. Its decent water as it is , but this purifies and gives some peace of mind. Originality and some upgrades through out the years with this sweet home. Older furnace runs great and is on the main floor and as been sufficient for many years. The huge yard is well treed with mature trees surrounding the home and buildings for your privacy . The Hip roof barn is my favorite built in 1918 by Percy Taylor a well known builder in the that day and time. Its a dairy barn design but has ties stalls , 2 large stalls in side the barn and two huge stalls in the lean too area with doors and windows.. Its really set up nice for horse or any type of animal . Power and gas is to the barn. The electrical panel in the barn needs to be replaced . Pens outside the barn are convenient, as well as cross fenced and a couple smaller pastures. One automatic waterer is conveniently located. The west pastures are mostly protected with trees for wind protection, and several other options around the place. There are two driveways in to the property which is pretty nice to have. Half of the property on the east side is a natural separation from the home, so at some point could be a subdivision off. Beautiful private lane way in brings you in to this sweet little oasis to enjoy a s+lifestyle close to town, peace and quiet, have a few animals, a garden , and just a wonderful new country life !! Detached garage is 32 X 26 and is heated and insulated. Very nice to have. The hip roof barn might I add has a sweet little small animal stall ( originally for cats) , and there is also a great chicken/cat house " Condo" with attached safe bird/cat fencing. Water in the summer is plumbed over to the cat house. A few age related items that need to be done, but over all this property is a pure specialty in my books !! Disclosure from the sellers: The septic tank and lid are showing signs of deterioration, the panel in the barn needs replaced as mentioned, there is a leak in the barn roof and seems to be some of the metal roof that wasn't installed properly. Sellers would like property to be sold " as is where is" Home inspections are welcome, but to know that the property is older and may show signs of the age through out. All sorts of opportunity here with this 15 acre farm. More details

Calgary Acreage Buying Guide

Key Considerations When Buying Acreage

Purchasing an acreage near Calgary comes with unique factors compared to buying a city home. Before making an offer, consider the following:

  • Utilities: Many rural properties rely on water wells, septic systems, and independent power sources. Understand the age, condition, and capacity of these systems, as repairs or replacements can be costly.
  • Zoning & Land Use Bylaws: Check the municipal zoning regulations to ensure the property can be used for your intended purpose—whether it’s a hobby farm, equestrian facility, or home-based business.
  • Road Access & Snow Removal: Some acreages have private or seasonal roads. Confirm maintenance responsibilities and snow removal services, especially during Calgary’s winter months.

Financing an Acreage Purchase

Financing rural real estate in Calgary can differ from a standard home mortgage:

  • Bank Requirements: Lenders often have stricter requirements for acreages, especially if the land is over a certain size or used for agricultural purposes.
  • Down Payment Differences: Expect a higher down payment—sometimes 20–30%—depending on the property’s classification and value.

Inspection & Due Diligence

An acreage inspection goes beyond the typical home inspection and should include:

  • Septic System: Ensure it meets current code and is functioning properly.
  • Water Testing: Check for water quality, pressure, and quantity from wells or cisterns.
  • Fencing & Boundaries: Inspect perimeter fencing, gates, and property lines to avoid disputes.
  • Outbuilding Condition: Assess barns, shops, and sheds for structural integrity and potential repair costs.

Working with Diane Richardson REALTOR® experienced in Calgary acreage sales ensures you navigate these considerations with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average price of an acreage near Calgary?

The average price for an acreage near Calgary typically ranges from $750,000 to $1.5 million, depending on location, lot size, and features. Luxury estates and equestrian properties in areas like Springbank or Bearspaw can exceed $2 million, while smaller hobby farms or rural parcels in outlying counties may start under $700,000.

Can I run a business from my acreage?

In many cases, you can operate a business from your acreage, but it depends on zoning regulations and land use bylaws set by the municipality (e.g., Foothills County or Rocky View County). Common home-based businesses include equestrian training, small-scale farming, and workshops. Always confirm with the local planning office before purchasing.

How far are most acreages from downtown Calgary?

Most acreages for sale near Calgary are located within a 20–45 minute drive of downtown, depending on the area. Communities like Springbank and Bearspaw offer quick city access, while acreages in Mountain View County or Wheatland County may have longer commutes but more affordable land.

What is the difference between Foothills County and Rocky View County properties?

Foothills County acreages are often south of Calgary, featuring rolling hills, farmland, and equestrian facilities. Rocky View County properties typically lie to the west and north, offering mountain views, luxury estates, and proximity to golf courses and recreation areas. Both counties have their own zoning bylaws and property tax rates, which may influence your buying decision.
