5 Essential Tips for Buying Your Dream Acreage in Southern Alberta
Published: May 10, 2025
Whether you’re chasing wide-open spaces near Okotoks or hunting for a horse-friendly property in Foothills County, buying acreage comes with unique challenges—and rewards. Use these five tips to ensure your country-living dream doesn’t turn into a rural headache.
1. Understand Zoning & Land-Use Bylaws
Each county has its own restrictions on livestock, accessory buildings and subdivision potential. Before you make an offer, review the Foothills County Land-Use Bylaw and similar documents for Rocky View, Mountain View and Wheatland Counties to ensure your plans—whether it’s a barn, shop or secondary residence—are permitted.
2. Prioritize Water & Utilities Access
An on-site well, septic system and reliable power are non-negotiable. Confirm the depth and yield of any existing well, and check for provincial water-licence requirements. If you need to drill or hook up to a municipal system, factor those costs into your budget.
3. Evaluate Road Access & Maintenance
Gravel roads can become impassable in spring thaw or after heavy rains. Ask about county road-maintenance schedules and snow-clearing responsibilities, especially if your property sits on a gated or private lane.
4. Factor in Financing & Tax Implications
Acreage mortgages differ from urban home loans. Talk to a lender experienced in rural properties, and ask how agricultural classifications may impact your property tax rate. You may also qualify for low-interest farm-mortgage programs if you’ll operate an agricultural business.
5. Seek Expertise for Horse & Equestrian Properties
If you plan to keep horses, look for equestrian-zoned acreages with proper fencing, arenas and turnout paddocks. Diane Richardson has guided dozens of horse-property buyers—learn more here.

The Calgary housing market experienced a notable shift in March 2025, as economic uncertainty and tariff-related concerns tempered buyer activity. However, despite the moderation in sales, the market continues to show resilience, particularly when compared to the challenging years between 2015 and 2020.
Overall Market Conditions
March saw 2,159 residential sales across all property types in Calgary—a 19% year-over-year (Y/Y) decline. This decrease reflects a softening of demand, which has been balanced by an influx of new listings. With 4,019 new listings entering the market and total inventory rising to 5,154 units, the sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 54%, signaling a gradual shift toward more balanced market conditions.
The total residential benchmark price for Calgary remained stable at $592,500, reflecting a 0% year-over-year change. While price growth has slowed, it's worth noting that overall home values remain strong, especially in the detached and semi-detached segments.
Detached Homes: Moderate Slowdown with Price Growth
Detached sales came in at 1,035 units, down 10% from last year. However, inventory climbed to 2,205 units, and the months of supply rose to 2.13. The rise in available listings has provided some relief to buyers, especially in higher price segments.
Benchmark prices for detached homes rose to $769,800, an increase of 4% year-over-year, with the strongest gains seen in the City Centre district.
The semi-detached market posted 184 sales, a significant 26% Y/Y decrease. Inventory rose to 413 units, and months of supply reached 2.24.
Despite slower sales, prices have remained robust. The benchmark price hit $691,900, marking a 5% Y/Y increase—the highest among all housing types this month.
Row home sales reached 400 units, a drop of 11% Y/Y. Inventory levels climbed to 826 units and months of supply reached 2.07.
The benchmark price for row homes was $454,000, a 2% increase from last year, though still below peak pricing seen in June 2024.
Apartments: Largest Sales Drop with Flattening Prices
Apartment sales saw the steepest drop at 34% Y/Y with 540 units sold. Inventory surged to 1,710 units, pushing months of supply up to 3.17.
Benchmark pricing remained at $336,100, a 3% Y/Y increase, but prices are still below the August 2024 peak.
