    Have you been looking for privacy and seclusion? A large property that you can share with a family member ? Some great revenue ? Well this one is coming to the market with all the things ! 160 acres with 2 dwellings located west of Cayley. Older 1391 sq ft home needing some love and a 1440 sq foot 2003 Mobile home. Cross fenced, 90 acres in farm land to rent out or farm yourself. This land is really the neatest land I have seen in the area. Historic " Hoodoos" in different areas of the land. They are the most interesting formations. History states that these are 70 - 75 million years old and created originally by wind, rain and frost. Really cool !! The kids (and adults) will play for hours on them.. The land lay out is very special and has so many places to explore and enjoy. Lots of mature trees, privacy and is at the end of the road creating a beautiful private lifestyle. A good set of corrals at the back of the one Quonset. That particular Quonset needs a completion on the roof and possibly some other structural work. . The other Quonset is a full working shop and will need shingles or some metal on the roof. Cement floor, 220 power, has an older furnace but not insulated. The mobile is sweet and clean with plenty of square footage placed nicely amongst the trees. A really cute bright home ! The old house we are thinking is in the late 1960's is needing some love, but its a great home. A ton of potential to roll in and get things organized for your family or families !! Prepare to be " Wooed" for when you drive down the road and see this little Gem in the coulee you will fall in love. A long time family farm with stories of many memories on this beautiful land . Easy quick drive to Hwy # 2 for your commute if you really have to leave this gorgeous property !! Memories made here !!! Disclosure : The existing well will expire when the property is sold and a new well will be drilled on the property to buyers preference . Seller and buyer will agree on placement and how to move forward . There is some mold in the basement bedroom in the older house and it was caused by an appliance leak a while back . Door is closed with signage to identify. The roof on the older home needs to be replaced soon but over all its a great solid built home . Each property has as septic tank and field. Revenue is available from the 90 acres of farm land and the gas well provides a pay cheque each August. Potential of around $7000-$8000 a year. This property is ready for its next adventure !!

Foothills County Acreage Buying Guide

Key Considerations When Buying in Foothills County

Purchasing an acreage in Foothills County comes with rural‑specific factors that differ from city homes. Keep these in mind before you write an offer:

  • Water & Septic: Confirm well depth, flow rate (gpm), water quality tests, and septic type/age (tank & field vs. mound). Budget for potential upgrades and regular maintenance.
  • Zoning & Land Use: Verify permitted uses (e.g., hobby farm, equestrian, home‑based business), outbuilding size limits, and animal unit allowances. Check setbacks and subdivision potential.
  • Access & Services: Clarify road maintenance responsibilities (municipal vs. private), snow removal expectations, school bus routes, and emergency access.
  • Utilities & Heat: Identify power source, gas/propane availability, backup generation, and heating systems (furnace, boiler, hydronic, wood). Inspect for insurance‑sensitive items (older wood stoves, unlined chimneys).
  • Environmental Factors: Review drainage, wetlands, flood plains, watercourse setbacks, and shelterbelts. Walk fence lines and confirm boundary markers.

Financing Foothills County Acreages

  • Lender Criteria: Financing can vary with parcel size, agricultural use, and outbuildings. Larger acreages or income‑producing properties may require higher down payments and specialty lenders.
  • Appraisals & Insurance: Rural appraisals consider land value plus improvements. Confirm insurability of wells, septic systems, and older structures early in the process.

Inspections & Due Diligence

  • Home & Outbuildings: Assess structural integrity, shop/barn electrical, foundation, roof, doors, and slab condition. Note permit history for additions and shops.
  • Water & Septic Reports: Order a bacteriological/chemical water test and a septic evaluation/pump‑out report. Keep receipts and documentation for future resale.
  • Title & Easements: Review title for rights‑of‑way, utility easements, restrictive covenants, and encroachments that may affect use or future development.

Need tailored guidance? Diane Richardson can help you evaluate wells and septic reports, interpret zoning, and structure conditions to protect your purchase.
