    Rare opportunity to own almost 149 acres just minutes from Carstairs, offering space, privacy, views, and incredible potential for the acreage lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. This property features a newer, simple, and functional home that provides a practical place to start, while the land gives you room to create something truly your own.

Approximately 40 acres could be used as hayland, with the balance offering options for grazing, animals, recreation, and added privacy. The home is serviced with electricity, propane, well, and septic, giving you the essentials already in place while still leaving plenty of opportunity to expand and improve over time. The setting feels peaceful and private, yet you’re still close to Carstairs, Airdrie, and convenient access to Calgary. If you’ve been searching for land where you can build your version of country living — not someone else’s finished dream — this is a property you need to walk in person to fully appreciate.
