*BE SURE TO WATCH THE CINEMATIC VIRTUAL TOUR!* There are properties that offer space, and then there are properties offering a true sense of escape. Privately positioned on 2.10 beautifully treed acres in prestigious Church Ranches, 39 Alexa is an exceptional Bearspaw estate offering over 5,000 sq. ft. of developed living space, a coveted southwest-facing backyard, gated entrance, remarkable privacy and access to the community’s private lakes and pathways. Set behind a canopy of mature trees, the property immediately feels removed from the city, yet remains just minutes from Calgary. The expansive grounds capture beautiful afternoon and evening sun while creating a wonderfully private backdrop for outdoor living, entertaining and quiet evenings surrounded by nature. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced, including an upper level that has been nearly completely renovated with fresh paint, new carpeting and new windows in the Primary Bedroom. The Primary retreat has been transformed with a completely redesigned ensuite and an impressive walk-in closet and dressing room, creating a true sanctuary within the home. Two more bedrooms share space with an additional four-piece bath as well. The main level features a beautifully appointed kitchen with a countertop stove, double wall oven, double dishwasher, Bosch built-in microwave and coffee machine, and Samsung family-hub fridge & freezer,, all accented by an Italian tile backsplash. The main floor is completed with an executive office, living room with custom tiled wall fireplace, spacious laundry room and sunken family room with 2-way, wood burning fireplace. The fully finished, walkout, lower level expands the home’s versatility even further, with heated floors, a bathroom with steam shower, custom wine cellar, separate theatre room and bar area and the ability to create a fourth bedroom - ideal for guests, older children or extended family. For the acreage buyer who values exceptional garage and hobby space, this property delivers in a way few can. The triple attached garage features floor drains and built-in heaters, and updated garage doors, while the impressive separate shop provides substantial additional space for vehicles, recreational equipment and RV storage, with room to accommodate a future vehicle lift and endless possibilities for the collector, enthusiast or hobbyist. For the energy conscious owner, this home can be taken nearly completely off grid, fitted with 67 solar panels, a Tesla power wall, 2 EV charging stations, built -in Gemstone lighting, full central air conditioning and smart home wiring. Additional long-term value comes from the home’s durable 40-year rubber roofing, while the established landscaping and mature trees provide the privacy and character that can take decades to create. And then there is the lifestyle; canoe, paddle, swim, fish (yes the lake is stocked with fish) and enjoy the private beach at Lake Alexa. This property is truly special!

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.
