    Welcome to 39 IDLEWILD ESTATES, a unique Springbank acreage where the setting is every bit as impressive as the home. Sitting on 4 PRIVATE ACRES, this property is incredibly QUIET & surrounded by MATURE TREES, OPEN SPACE & MOUNTAIN VIEWS. With virtually NO VISIBLE NEIGHBOURS, it feels like you are much farther away from the city than you actually are. What sets this property apart is what sits directly behind it. This is the ONLY LOT IN THE DEVELOPMENT that backs unfenced onto an additional approximately 4-ACRE PARCEL OWNED BY ROCKY VIEW COUNTY. While this land is not part of the property being sold, the open connection creates a sense of additional space & privacy. You can also ACCESS OUTDOOR TRAILS DIRECTLY FROM THE PROPERTY, allowing you to step outside & explore right from home. Then there is the house itself. With 6,202 SQ FT ABOVE GRADE, plus a fully developed walkout, this family home has plenty of space to spread out, entertain & enjoy acreage living. At the heart of the home is a beautifully equipped kitchen with GRANITE COUNTERTOPS & a premium THERMADOR APPLIANCE PACKAGE, including a 48-INCH THERMADOR GAS RANGE, paneled refrigerator, TWO PANELED DISHWASHERS, built-in coffee system & beverage fridge integrated into the island. Generous living & entertaining areas surround the kitchen, creating a home that works equally well for everyday family life or a house full of guests. Across all three levels you'll find 5 BEDROOMS & 4.5 BATHROOMS with generous living spaces throughout. The primary bedroom enjoys some of the property's best WEST-FACING MOUNTAIN VIEWS, while the fully developed WALKOUT BASEMENT provides more room for family, guests & recreation with direct access to the SOUTH-FACING BACKYARD. And if garage space matters, this property delivers. An oversized GAS-HEATED & FULLY FINISHED 4-CAR ATTACHED GARAGE WITH EV CHARGER is joined by a separate GAS-HEATED & FULLY FINISHED 2-CAR GARAGE, providing heated indoor parking for up to six vehicles. Add the 4-CAR CARPORT, & you have 10 COVERED PARKING STALLS, plus plenty of space for vehicles, toys, storage, hobbies or a workshop. Outside, mature trees & established landscaping create a private acreage environment with space to enjoy the surroundings. Expansive decks & a hot tub area take advantage of the SOUTH-FACING YARD, while the property provides room for RVs, trailers, recreational equipment & all the extras that come with acreage living. All of this is tucked away in SPRINGBANK, close enough to Calgary for everyday convenience while feeling completely removed from the city. IT FEELS LIKE 8 ACRES, WITH THE BENEFITS OF 8 ACRES BUT THE MAINTENANCE OF ONLY 4. Add direct trail access, mountain & treed views, over 4,500 sq. ft. above grade & garage space that is almost impossible to duplicate, & you have a property that is difficult to find this close to Calgary. 39 Idlewild Estates is one of those properties you really need to experience in person to understand just how special the setting is.

Living on an Acreage Near Cochrane

Acreages near Cochrane can offer additional land, privacy and a rural lifestyle while maintaining practical access to the shops, schools, recreation facilities and services available in Cochrane.

Buyers exploring Cochrane acreages for sale may find country residential homes, small acreages, rural estates, equestrian properties, hobby farms and undeveloped land. Many of these properties are located outside the Town of Cochrane in Rocky View County and other surrounding rural areas.

Acreage properties vary considerably. Some may include an established residence, landscaped grounds, fencing, barns, workshops or oversized garages, while others may offer open land with fewer improvements. The permitted use of the land and buildings should always be confirmed before a purchase.

  • Space and Property Features Compare parcel size, home design, garages, workshops, barns, fencing, landscaping, access roads and the condition of all improvements.
  • Rural Utilities and Services Review the water source, septic system, heating, waste collection, internet availability, road maintenance and emergency access.
  • Land Use and Location Confirm zoning, permitted uses, development restrictions, easements, property boundaries and travel times to Cochrane or Calgary.

Buying an Acreage Near Cochrane

Purchasing an acreage involves considerations that may not apply to a typical urban home. Buyers should review well or water-co-op documentation, septic records, real property reports, land-use regulations, access agreements and the condition of any outbuildings.

Buyers planning to keep horses or other animals, operate a home-based business, construct a workshop or add another building should verify that the intended use is permitted. Property-specific requirements can vary, so all plans should be confirmed with the applicable municipality and qualified professionals.

Diane can help you compare current listings based on your preferred location, budget, acreage size, residence, outbuildings and important rural property features. Submit your requirements through the home finder.

Selling a Cochrane-Area Acreage

Marketing an acreage effectively requires more than presenting the residence. Buyers also need clear information about the land, water and wastewater systems, outbuildings, access, fencing, permitted uses and other features that distinguish the property.

Acreage owners considering a sale can request a property evaluation to review current competition, relevant comparable sales and the improvements that may influence market value.
