Unique and viable property consisting of 3 parcels, located in town behind the industrial area and bordering Mud Lake. The main parcel is 5.66 acres, zoned for future development, but currently used for residential purposes. The nice mature yard offers a large older bungalow with 3 bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms (including a half bath off the master bedroom plus an additional bathtub in one of the secondary bedrooms), a spacious dining room, a bright kitchen with eating nook, a sunken living room with gas stove, a large entry way, and a laundry room. The unfinished basement serves as extra storage and access to the utilities. The 22x24 detached garage is insulated, boarded and wired. The outbuildings require some maintenance and include a chicken coop, a storage shed/greenhouse, a smaller storage shed with sauna, and an older home in poor condition. The marshy part of the parcel leading to the lake, offers additional privacy and a safe and welcoming habitat for wild life. The Future development zoning offers numerous options. The current residential use is legal, but non-conforming and could potentially offer the possibility of being re-zoned to industrial. This could allow the owner to use the residence while operating a small industrial business. The property is connected to municipal water, but has its own septic system. 2 additional parcels zoned industrial and consisting of 0.13 acre combined, are included on the title. This one of a kind parcel made affordable is the ideal property for an investor, a developer, or just someone looking for town living with a large lot and extra privacy.

About Acreages in Clearwater County Alberta
Located near Rocky Mountain House and Caroline, Clearwater County offers a diverse mix of rural acreages, country homes, and recreational properties. Many parcels feature a combination of open pasture, forested privacy, mountain vistas, and proximity to creeks or rivers. Buyers can choose from developed homesteads with homes and outbuildings or untouched land ideal for future development.
Clearwater County Acreage Market & Property Types
The acreage real estate market in Clearwater County includes smaller residential parcels close to town as well as larger quarter sections suitable for livestock, hay, or mixed-use agriculture. Available properties range from wooded retreats to equestrian estates with barns and cross-fencing. Prices vary based on size, improvements, location, and access, with more remote land often offering greater value per acre.
Many acreages for sale in Clearwater County feature wells, septic systems, garages, or workshops, while others offer raw land ready for a custom build. This versatility appeals to buyers looking for full-time country living, weekend cabins, off-grid setups, or long-term land investments in Alberta’s natural heartland.
Parks, Crown Land & Outdoor Recreation
One of the biggest draws of owning land in Clearwater County is the proximity to outdoor recreation. Residents enjoy rivers like the Clearwater, Ram, and North Saskatchewan, plus nearby foothills, provincial parks, and trails for hiking, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and camping. Many properties back onto Crown land or lie close to major trail systems, boat launches, or staging areas for four-season adventures.
Daily Living, Services & Connectivity
Essential amenities are available in Rocky Mountain House, Caroline, and nearby hamlets. These towns offer groceries, fuel, schools, healthcare, and community services. While some properties are just minutes from town, others are more remote, offering increased privacy in exchange for longer commutes or greater self-sufficiency.
Connectivity varies across the region — fixed wireless and satellite internet are common, and cell service is improving but inconsistent in some areas. Buyers balancing privacy with remote work or school should research coverage in their preferred locations.
Roads, Access & Seasonal Considerations
Clearwater County maintains most rural roads, but access may involve gravel routes or seasonal limitations. It’s important to confirm year-round accessibility, any easements, and the location of approach roads or driveways — especially for properties near waterways, hills, or undeveloped land. Winter maintenance, floodplain risks, and potential upgrades to culverts or grading should also be evaluated.
Garbage collection, mail delivery, and school bus routes can vary. Knowing how these services apply to your specific property helps in planning snow removal, commuting, and emergency access.
Wells, Septic Systems & Utilities
Most Clearwater County acreages rely on private wells or cisterns and septic systems. Buyers should review water quality reports and septic system inspections to assess capacity and condition. Power and natural gas are often available, but more remote properties may rely on solar, propane, or generators. Infrastructure costs can significantly impact property value and readiness for occupancy.
Community & Rural Lifestyle
Clearwater County fosters a tight-knit rural culture rooted in agriculture, outdoor recreation, and small-town connections. While neighbours may be farther apart, relationships are formed through schools, 4H, volunteer groups, and community events. Many buyers are drawn to the peace, privacy, and sense of ownership that comes with a well-managed rural property.
Why Buy an Acreage in Clearwater County?
Here’s why Clearwater County remains one of Alberta’s most attractive acreage destinations:
- Unmatched access to rivers, foothills, Crown land, and outdoor adventure areas.
- Variety of property types — from small acreages to working farms and equestrian ranches.
- Lower density and more privacy than most rural areas near major cities.
