How much land is for sale south of Okotoks, Alberta? A 320-acre property across three titles (160, 80, and 80 acres) is listed for $4.29M south of Okotoks in Foothills County, offering mountain views, a natural spring, and development potential for up to six homes plus secondary suites.
Most listings you'll find near Okotoks top out at ten, maybe twenty acres. This one is 320, split across three separate titles, sitting on some of the highest ground in the area. That combination of size, elevation, and location this close to town doesn't come up often and when it's gone, it's gone.
Whether you're farming it, building on it, or holding it as a long-term investment, this property is worth understanding in detail.
The Property: Three Titles, 320 Acres Total
The land is split into three separate titles:
- 160 acres
- 80 acres
- 80 acres
All three sit south of Okotoks with elevated topography that gives the property some of the best mountain and valley views available on rural land this close to town.
A Working Farm Today, With Room to Grow
The land is currently seeded in canola, generating real income today. It means this property works as an investment right now, not just on paper, while the development potential covered below gives it long-term upside as well.
Development Potential: Up to Six Homes
Here's the detail many buyers don't know: under current Foothills County bylaw, any parcel of 80 acres or larger permits two dwellings plus a secondary suite. Since all three titles on this property meet that threshold, the math works out to a total potential of six homes and three 1,400 square foot secondary suites across the property.
That structure supports a few different buyer scenarios:
- Multi-generational family living — separate homes for different generations, all on the same land
- A working farm operation — a primary residence plus additional dwellings for family or farm staff
- Long-term investment — hold the land, lease the crop, and develop later as the area grows
A Working Property With a Natural Water Source
A natural spring runs through the property, providing a reliable water source for livestock. Paired with the elevated topography, the land supports grazing and crop production as-is, with room to expand depending on how a buyer wants to use it.
Why Land Like This Doesn't Come Up Often
Three contiguous titles, this size, together, this close to Okotoks, is a rare combination. Most large farm parcels near Calgary and the surrounding towns get subdivided and sold off long before they reach this scale. Once a property like this sells, it's genuinely gone. There's no equivalent waiting to come up for sale next month.
