LIVE THE LAKE LIFESTYLE! If only these walls could talk. They would tell stories of the past 23 years that this family has owned it - stories of learning how to swim, ride bikes and wakeboard. They would tell stories of lake friends gathering with their children to enjoy summers and winter holidays alike. They would tell stories of New Years Eve, game nights, long days on the water, kid sleepovers, campfires and cocktails. This home has been well loved and the sellers are hoping to pass it on to a new family that will love it just as much. This is a well kept cabin with extensive living and sleeping space. Enter into the main floor great room, with a spacious loft overlooking the main. The great room has soaring wood walls and wood burning stove. The loft has room for two beds, sitting areas, and storage. The main floor kitchen is lake-chic with country cabinets, and an eat-in dining area. There's a full bathroom and washing machine in this area as well. Pass through into the full family room area, again with extensive sitting and sleeping room, plus a bar area for afternoon drinks. The sellers added a three season sun room that spans the width of the whole cabin and has additional beds, sitting area, and can also be used for extra dining. Using all beds and sofas, this home can sleep 15 people! The yard is lush and private and includes storage sheds and decking. This cabin is the ultimate for family gatherings, with room to gather and make memories. This property comes with all appliances and furnishings and and ROFR for a boat slip in the marina and is ready for Summer 2026!!

Buying and Selling Acreages Under $500,000

Acreages for sale under $500,000 may include small rural properties, older country homes, hobby farms, vacant land and affordable acreages located throughout Southern and Central Alberta.

Buyers searching for acreages for sale under $500,000 should be prepared for inventory to vary by location and market conditions. Properties closer to Calgary may be limited within this price range, while additional options may be available farther from the city or near smaller rural communities.

Listings within this budget can include homes requiring renovations, smaller parcels, land without a residence or properties with older outbuildings and rural utility systems. Each listing should be reviewed carefully to determine what is included and whether it meets the buyer’s intended use.

  • Location and Commute Consider the distance to Calgary, nearby towns, year-round road access, schools, shopping, healthcare and essential services.
  • Rural Property Systems Review the water source, septic system, heating, utilities, access roads, fencing, drainage, garages and outbuildings.
  • Land Use and Condition Confirm zoning, permitted uses, parcel boundaries, property condition, renovation requirements and restrictions affecting animals or future development.

Guidance for Acreage Buyers

Diane Richardson can help buyers compare available rural properties, arrange private showings and identify important questions to investigate before making an offer. Depending on the property, buyers may require additional inspections or professional advice concerning the residence, well, septic system, outbuildings and land.

It is also important to confirm financing requirements early. Rural properties, vacant land and homes needing substantial repairs may be assessed differently by lenders than conventional urban homes.

Selling an Affordable Acreage

Sellers should clearly present the home, parcel size, water and septic systems, outbuildings, access, zoning and recent improvements. Accurate property information helps buyers understand the value and practical use of the acreage.

Diane can help review comparable rural listings, identify marketable property features and develop an appropriate pricing and presentation strategy. Property owners can also request a property evaluation before preparing their acreage for sale.

For help buying or selling an acreage under $500,000, contact Diane Richardson at 403.397.3706 or diane@mypadcalgary.com. Listing availability and prices can change without notice.
