A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits the visionary investor or a hands-on renovator. This property is a true handyman's special, offering an incredible opportunity to create the home of your dreams. Situated on a serene 6.99-acre parcel of beautiful prairie land, this expansive 3,186 sq ft home is a rare find with a storied past and unlimited potential. The original structure, dating back to the early 1900s, was lovingly renovated and expanded in 2005. The home was recently moved to this property in 2023 and placed on a new, nine-foot poured concrete foundation, marking the first step in its grand transformation. Inside, you'll find an impressive layout with four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, and spacious, light-filled rooms. Features include hardwood floors and a massive kitchen with granite countertops, ample storage, and a gas range with stainless steel appliances. This property is a project for those with a keen eye for value and a desire for sweat equity. The home is being sold as-is-where-is and requires significant work to obtain occupancy.

Utilities are available at the road, but the home is not yet connected to gas, electricity, or septic. Water is available from a drilled well but will need to be connected to the home. A quote for the work needed to complete the project and other documents are available upon request. The location is unparalleled. Enjoy the tranquility of rural living while being just a 15-minute commute to South Calgary or Okotoks. The property is conveniently located near Heritage Heights School and Scott Seaman Sports Rink. Important Note: This is an unfinished property. It does not have occupancy or utilities. Access to the basement is currently not available, and the foundation needs to be sealed, and windows installed.

Foothills County Acreages: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Foothills County real estate—covering water security anchors, equestrian zoning, and luxury land investments south of Calgary.
1) What is the "Regional Water Project" and how does it affect property values?
The Foothills Okotoks Regional Water Project is a critical infrastructure anchor providing long-term utility stability for the region. For buyers searching Okotoks real estate and surrounding acreages, this project ensures a secure water supply, which significantly supports the long-term appreciation of land values compared to regions solely dependent on older shallow wells.
2) Are Foothills County acreages suitable for keeping horses?
Absolutely. Foothills County is known as the "Horse Capital" of the province. Most equestrian properties in Foothills offer specialized R-2 rural zoning. While requirements vary by parcel size, regions like Priddis and Millarville are specifically prized for their rolling topography and suitability for private stables and indoor arenas.
3) What is the difference between a De Winton estate and a rural Foothills acreage?
Acreages in De Winton and Heritage Pointe typically offer executive manors on 2-to-5-acre parcels with community water services. In contrast, "Rural Foothills" properties often feature larger 10+ acre parcels, providing more space for ranching, barns, and private water wells, appealing to those seeking a deeper connection to land stewardship.
4) How is rural high-speed internet in Foothills County in 2026?
Rural connectivity has seen massive upgrades. Many luxury estate clusters now have access to high-speed fibreline installations. For more remote Foothills luxury acreages, low-latency satellite and fixed-wireless solutions have made the Foothills a viable primary residence for full-time remote executives.
5) Is now a good time to sell "Legacy Land" in Foothills County?
Yes. In 2026, detached rural estates remain in a "Strong Seller’s Market" due to critically low inventory. Land with unobstructed mountain views or established outbuildings like barns and shops continues to command premium pricing as buyers prioritize privacy and self-sufficient lifestyle assets.
