Perched high above the valley in the exclusive hillside community of Artists View West, this architecturally significant walkout bungalow displays uninterrupted panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains in a setting where privacy, nature, and timeless design exist in perfect harmony.

Originally inspired by mid-century architecture and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the home offers more than 7,800 square feet of beautifully curated living space where every room has been designed to embrace the landscape beyond. Soaring 22-foot cedar ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, rich custom millwork, and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace create interiors that are both sophisticated and welcoming. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen effortlessly balances beauty and function with premium appliances, bespoke cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized island, and a sculptural copper range hood. A fireside breakfast nook invites slow mornings, while the formal dining room flows seamlessly onto expansive terraces where sunsets over the Rockies become an evening ritual. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers exceptional flexibility for families, multigenerational living, or long-term guests with separate living quarters in the lower level. The private main-floor primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat featuring its own fireplace, a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, and an expansive dressing room. The fully developed walkout level extends the home's versatility with generous recreation spaces, a second wood-burning fireplace, wet bar with kitchenette, steam shower, an additional bedroom with ensuite, and abundant storage. Outside, fully fenced mature landscaping, underground irrigation, and multiple terraces create private outdoor living spaces that celebrate the home's extraordinary setting. Two separate triple garages, Armour Shake roofing, integrated security, three furnaces, two air conditioning systems, four hot water tanks, and two mechanical rooms reflect the same commitment to quality found throughout the residence. Homes of this architectural significance in Artists View West are seldom available. Defined by remarkable craftsmanship, extraordinary scale, and mountain views that will never grow old, this is a residence designed to be experienced as much as admired. More details

Infrastructure & Land Value: The Calgary Acreage Investment

The Calgary acreage market is defined by the quality of its infrastructure and the flexibility of its zoning. Unlike suburban developments, rural land is a "finite resource" where property value is heavily influenced by water security, soil suitability, and connectivity. Whether you are looking for an investment in Rocky View County or the rolling hills of Foothills County, these properties are viewed as stable, long-term assets that offer both lifestyle freedom and tangible equity growth.

Acreage Investment Anchors
  • Utility Confidence: Values are underpinned by Water Co-ops and high-yield wells. Reliable water is the most critical factor for long-term equity in the Springbank and Bearspaw regions.
  • Zoning Resilience: Properties with "Country Residential" zoning offer the flexibility for secondary suites or home-based businesses, a major draw for modern acreage buyers.
  • Connectivity: The rise of low-latency satellite internet ensures that even the most secluded country homes remain viable for global business executives.
Regional Value Comparisons
  • Equestrian Utility: Horse properties with existing barns and paddocks command a premium over raw land due to the rising costs of construction and permitting.
  • Luxury Demand: Luxury rural estates featuring mountain views and triple-car garages continue to lead the high-end market segment in Alberta.
  • Strategic Location: Parcels located within 20 minutes of the city limits provide a peaceful retreat without losing access to Calgary’s professional services.
Strategic Buying Tips
Due Diligence First
When viewing new acreage listings, always prioritize a review of the well flow test and septic system age.
Zoning Verification
Confirm "Animal Unit" allowances early if you plan on housing horses or small livestock on Foothills County land.

Regional Comparison: Calgary Acreages & Rural Estates

When searching for a Calgary acreage, buyers often weigh the high-end enclaves of Rocky View County against the rolling hills and equestrian spirit of Foothills County. Whether you are seeking a maintenance-free country home or a sprawling luxury rural estate, use these verified paths to compare the most sought-after acreage properties currently on the market.

Refine Your Search by Lifestyle & Budget

Strategic Advantage: Why Invest in a Calgary Acreage?

  • Infrastructure Intelligence: Rural property values are anchored by high-yield wells, water co-ops, and septic field quality—verified assets for long-term equity growth.
  • Zoning Flexibility: Acreages offer land-use options unavailable in the city, from secondary shops and outbuildings to equestrian facilities and home-based businesses.
  • Lifestyle Longevity: Large-parcel living ensures privacy and mountain access while remaining within a short, manageable commute of Calgary’s professional hub.

Calgary Acreages: Frequently Asked Questions

Essential insights for navigating rural real estate near Calgary—covering water security, septic systems, and zoning regulations.

 1) What is the difference between a Water Well and a Water Co-op?

A private water well draws directly from an underground aquifer on your property, while a Water Co-op (common in Springbank) is a member-owned utility that delivers treated water to your property line for a monthly fee. Co-ops provide urban-style reliability, whereas wells require regular flow testing and maintenance to ensure water security for Calgary country homes.

 2) How many horses am I allowed to have on a Calgary acreage?

Horse allowances are determined by "Animal Units" per acre, which vary by jurisdiction. In Rocky View County and Foothills County, you typically need at least 2 to 4 acres of grazeable land for your first horse. Specialized equestrian properties may have specific land-use bylaws that permit higher densities or professional facilities.

 3) What should I look for in a septic system when buying an acreage?

When reviewing new acreage listings, identify whether the property uses a gravity-fed septic field or a treatment mound. A treatment mound is often used when soil percolation is low. Always request a professional septic inspection to verify the tank's condition and the field's health, as a full replacement can be a significant capital expense.

 4) Are luxury acreages near Calgary viable for remote work?

Yes. Modern satellite internet services (like Starlink) have made even the most secluded luxury acreages viable for full-time remote executives. Connectivity is now considered a "primary utility," and many homes in Bearspaw and Springbank offer professional-grade home offices with reliable high-speed access.

 5) Can I find affordable acreages for sale under $500,000?

While rare near the city limits, acreages under $500,000 can still be found by looking slightly further into the rural peripheral of Southern Alberta. These properties are often rustic country homes or smaller land parcels perfect for those willing to invest in renovations or build a custom home in a quiet, rural setting.
