    Set on nearly five acres in the De Winton area of Foothills County, this property offers the rare combination of peaceful country living, impressive city views and quick access to Calgary. The home has been thoughtfully updated to create a brighter, more open and functional living space, while the land, shop and fenced pasture make this a property with plenty to offer beyond the house itself. At the heart of the home is the renovated, chef-inspired kitchen. A wall was removed to open the kitchen to the adjoining living areas, allowing more natural light to flow through the main floor and creating a much more connected space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a 48-inch Wolf gas range with matching Wolf hood fan, Jenn-Air refrigerator and separate Jenn-Air electric wall oven. The sink was relocated as part of the redesign, improving both the layout and functionality of the space. Most of the windows throughout the home have also been replaced, including larger windows upstairs that bring in additional natural light and help showcase the surrounding views. Outside, the property offers approximately four acres of fenced pasture complete with a horse shelter, providing excellent space for horses or other acreage pursuits. The balance of the property offers room to enjoy the outdoors, garden, entertain or simply appreciate the privacy and quiet that comes with country living. A major highlight is the heated and insulated shop, complete with its own 100-amp electrical service. Whether you need space for vehicles, equipment, woodworking, hobbies, storage or a serious workspace, this is the kind of shop that adds real versatility to an acreage. Perhaps most impressive is the setting. From the property you can enjoy views toward the city while still coming home to the peace and quiet of the countryside. It feels removed from the pace of urban living, yet Calgary and the amenities of the south end of the city remain conveniently close. With an updated home, high-end kitchen, heated shop, fenced pasture and nearly five acres in a highly desirable Foothills County location, this is an acreage that offers both lifestyle and practicality.

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.
