How does zoning affect how I can use an acreage?

Zoning determines what you can do on your Foothills County acreage, such as keeping horses or livestock, adding secondary suites, or subdividing land. Before buying, it is important to confirm the current land use designation and permitted uses so your plans for building, farming, or operating a business are allowed.

What should I know about wells, septic systems, and utilities?

Most Foothills County acreages rely on private water wells or cisterns, and septic tanks or treatment fields instead of city services. As a buyer, you should arrange inspections and water testing, review system age and permits, and budget for ongoing maintenance and potential upgrades to rural utilities.

Can I keep horses or run an equestrian acreage on my property?

Many properties in Foothills County are suitable for horses, with pastures, paddocks, and room for barns or riding arenas. The specific number of animals and type of equestrian use allowed will depend on the zoning and parcel size, so it is important to review the land use rules for each listing you are considering.

How long is the drive from Foothills County acreages to Calgary?

Drive times from Foothills County to Calgary typically range from about 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the location of the acreage and your destination in the city.

Are there schools and everyday services close to Foothills County properties?

Yes. Families living on Foothills County acreages can access schools, sports facilities, shops, and medical services in nearby communities such as Okotoks and High River. Smaller hamlets and rural hubs also offer local services, with Calgary’s full range of amenities just a short drive away for most residents.

Is buying an acreage or farm different from buying a city home?

Buying an acreage involves extra steps such as checking well and septic reports, confirming access and driveway agreements, reviewing land use bylaws, and understanding service costs like snow removal and road maintenance. Buyers should allow time for additional inspections and due diligence specific to rural and agricultural properties.

Do I need a rural real estate specialist to buy in Foothills County?

Working with an agent experienced in Foothills County acreages and rural properties is highly recommended. A rural specialist can flag red flags, help you interpret zoning and title registrations, coordinate the right inspections, and guide you through financing and conditions that are common with country homes and land.

Can I find both move-in-ready homes and bare land in Foothills County?

Yes. Current listings often include fully finished country homes, updated acreages with shops or barns, and vacant land suited for new construction.
