This special gem is Conveniently located off paved road just north and a bit west of Cayley. Local to High River, Cayley and Nanton. The cutest 15 acre farmstead that you have ever seen !! Sweet ,cozy original farm house with options to re build your own " Dream Home" This property is fabulous and lends to bringing a few horses, a hobby farm, or a home business including equipment , trucks, cars.. The home has 2 bedrooms and a bonus room up, and a den type area, living room, kitchen and porch area on the main. No basement just the original area for the hot water tank and the " Reverse Osmosis System!!" Yes! You have a great water system in keeping all the water fully drinkable. Its decent water as it is , but this purifies and gives some peace of mind. Originality and some upgrades through out the years with this sweet home. Older furnace runs great and is on the main floor and as been sufficient for many years. Very livable ! The huge yard is well treed with mature trees surrounding the home and buildings for your privacy . The Hip roof barn is my favorite built in 1918 by Percy Taylor a well known builder in the that day and time. Its a dairy barn design but has ties stalls , 2 large stalls in side the barn and two huge stalls in the lean too area with doors and windows.. Its really set up nice for horses or any type of animal . Power and gas is to the barn. The electrical panel in the barn needs to be replaced . Pens outside the barn are convenient, as well as cross fenced and a couple smaller pastures. One automatic waterer is conveniently located. The west pastures are mostly protected with trees for wind protection, and several other options around the place. There are two driveways in to the property which is pretty nice to have. Half of the property on the east side is a natural separation from the home, so at some point could be a subdivision off. Beautiful private lane way in brings you in to this sweet little oasis to enjoy a s+lifestyle close to town, peace and quiet, have a few animals, a garden , and just a wonderful new country life !! Detached garage is 32 X 26 and is heated and insulated. Very nice to have. The hip roof barn might I add has a sweet little small animal stall ( originally for cats) , and there is also a great chicken/cat house " Condo" with attached safe bird/cat fencing. Water in the summer is plumbed over to the cat house. A few age related items that need to be done, but over all this property is a pure specialty in my books !! Disclosure from the sellers: The septic tank and lid are showing signs of deterioration, the panel in the barn needs replaced as mentioned, there is a leak in the barn roof and seems to be some of the metal roof that wasn't installed properly. Sellers would like property to be sold " as is where is" Home inspections are welcome, but to know that the property is older and may show signs of the age through out. All sorts of opportunity here with this 15 acre farm.More details

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.
