1. What types of properties are available in Clearwater County, Alberta?
Clearwater County offers a range of property types, including single-family homes, acreages, farms, recreational cabins, and vacant land. Buyers can find everything from rural residential lots to waterfront properties and large ranches, suitable for a variety of lifestyles and investment goals.
2. Do I need a development permit or building permit to build on rural land?
Yes, most new structures, additions, or significant renovations require a development permit from Clearwater County. Depending on the project, you may also need a separate building permit to ensure your plans comply with land use regulations and safety codes. Always check with the county’s planning and development office before starting any construction.

4. How do I confirm property lines, access, or easements for rural properties?
To verify property boundaries and easements, review the property’s land title and survey documents. You can request this information through the Alberta Land Titles Office or consult a local land surveyor. For rural or undeveloped land, it’s essential to confirm legal access via registered roadways or easements.
5. What should I know about buying acreage or recreational land in Clearwater County?
Buying rural or recreational properties often differs from urban real estate. Key considerations include access to utilities, water wells, septic systems, road maintenance, and zoning restrictions. It’s also wise to learn about local bylaws regarding agricultural use, livestock, and environmental conservation in the area.

Acreage and farm buyers can find everything from smaller hobby parcels to larger operations, often with pasture, hay land, treed shelterbelts, and room for livestock or equipment. Many rural homes include practical features such as shops, barns, machine sheds, RV parking, and fenced areas that support a more self‑reliant lifestyle.
Country residential properties range from older farmhouses and updated bungalows to modern custom‑built homes with attached garages and contemporary interiors. Buyers can choose from open prairie or farmland settings, treed and sheltered yards, or elevated locations with foothill and river‑valley views, depending on their preferred balance of privacy, scenery, and accessibility.
Cabins, Recreational & West Country Retreats
Clearwater County is also known for its cabins and recreational properties, particularly in and around the West Country and David Thompson Country. These listings may include rustic or upgraded cabins, riverfront and lake‑area properties, and off‑grid or semi‑serviced retreat sites. Many locations provide convenient access to staging areas and trail networks for quadding, snowmobiling, hiking, fishing, and backcountry camping, making them ideal for buyers who want a weekend or seasonal base.
For those seeking a getaway rather than a full‑time home, recreational properties in Clearwater County offer a way to enjoy the region’s rivers, forests, and mountain foothills while still being within driving distance of amenities in Rocky Mountain House and nearby communities.
Parks, Rivers & Outdoor Recreation
Access to nature is a major advantage of living in Clearwater County. Residents are within reach of well‑known destinations such as Ram Falls, Crescent Falls, Fish Lake, and multiple campgrounds and day‑use areas along the Clearwater and North Saskatchewan rivers. These areas support boating, paddling, fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, and scenic drives throughout much of the year.
Across the county, trail networks and recreation zones support activities like horseback riding, mountain biking, ATVing, and snowmobiling, so many buyers choose Clearwater County specifically as a home base for year‑round outdoor recreation and backcountry exploration.
Amenities, Services & Everyday Convenience
Although much of Clearwater County is rural, residents still benefit from access to services in towns and villages throughout the region. Rocky Mountain House serves as a primary service hub with grocery stores, healthcare, schools, restaurants, and recreation facilities, while smaller centres such as Caroline and Leslieville provide additional local conveniences. Many acreage owners balance the peace of country living with regular trips into town for shopping, appointments, and community events.
Provincial highways and secondary roads link rural properties to nearby service centres and other parts of Alberta, making it possible for some residents to commute while enjoying a quieter home setting. Buyers can select locations that prioritize either quick access to town or a more secluded feel deeper into the countryside.
