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.
