Why This Land Stands Out

A Rare Large-Parcel Opportunity

Large land parcels of this scale are increasingly difficult to find in growth-connected corridors. This property offers the kind of size and flexibility that appeals to a range of buyer profiles.

Positioned for Long-Term Upside

Located in the Strathmore corridor, the land benefits from proximity to an expanding regional market and the continued outward demand from the Calgary area.

Flexible Use Potential

The parcel may be attractive for:

  • Future subdivision concepts

  • Acreage estate development

  • Agricultural holding

  • Land banking

  • Mixed-use rural investment strategies

Large teams focus on volume, while we focus on certainty. Most agents compete on commission and chase listings; we compete on strategy and build long-term advisory relationships. From the first conversation, you’re treated as a lifetime client—not just a transaction.

Strategic location

Located in the Strathmore Growth Corridor

The property is positioned in an area that attracts attention from investors and developers looking east of Calgary for scalable land opportunities.

This location offers:

  • Access to an established regional market

  • Proximity to commuter demand

  • Long-term development interest in the broader corridor

  • Rural scale with regional connectivity

COMPLETE PROPERTY SIZE BREAKDWON

The title reflects an original quarter section containing 64.7 hectares (160 acres), more or less.

DEDUCTED FROM THE LAND

  • Road: 0.809 hectares / 2.00 acres

  • Subdivision (Plan 9912741): 8.09 hectares / 19.99 acres

RESULTING USABLE LAND

After those exceptions, the remaining parcel is approximately:

55.801 hectares
≈ 138 acres

This creates a substantial landholding with room for multiple possible layouts or future planning scenarios, subject to approvals and municipal requirements.

Development / Use Possibilities

This property presents several possible directions depending on buyer strategy and municipal planning allowances.

1. Acreage Estate Lots

This visualization transforms the dark, scrubby areas into meticulously planned, large (2-5 acre) custom estate lots. A winding, tree-lined road network connects approximately 20 expansive luxury homes. The vineyard and horse paddock facilities from the previous concept are present and integrated into several lots across the property.

2. Industrial & Logistics Hub

Here, the dark scrubby land is covered by a massive, multi-bay warehouse and distribution complex, multiple inter-connecting paved truck yards filled with a fleet of hundreds of parked semi-trucks, trailers, and shipping containers. Multiple internal service roads facilitate truck movement. The management office is centered around the original green house landmark location.

3. Mixed-Use 'Smart Play'

This visualization of the whole 138-acre site is partitioned and complex: One significant zone contains a multi-tiered vertical greenhouse complex. Adjacent is a substantial grid-patterned solar panel array (covering 20+ acres). Multiple 'flex-space' contractor yards with workshops and equipment are multiplied. Finally, a significant portion of the property features a high-density multi-unit residential pocket clustered around a community amenity pond.

4. RV Park & Event Venue

Here, the whole 138-acre site is a comprehensive destination venue. Features a large rustic-modern event barn and adjacent landscaped outdoor ceremony area. The rest of the site is meticulously partitioned with dozens of concrete and grass RV sites with full hookups, arranged in loops. Scaled and multiplied amenity areas include a large naturalized pond system, a clubhouse, a pool, and multiple glamping domes interspersed.

5. Renewable Energy & Lease Farming

Here, the whole 138-acre site is a productive, clean development. Vast sections contain continuous, massive utility-scale solar farms with dense grids of thousands of ground-mounted solar panels. Other sections feature a multiplied multi-tiered vertical greenhouse complex and integrated CEA vertical farm racks (covering dozens of acres). The rest of the site is converted into outdoor organic vegetable fields and row crops. All textual titles and grid are removed.

6. Landscaped Manufactured Home Community

This final visualization transforms the entire 138-acre site into a meticulously planned, high-density manufactured home community. The land is covered by a complex, grid-like road network, with hundreds of uniform, well-maintained manufactured homes. Features multiple large, landscaped community recreation areas: several large clubhouses with pools and event centers, community playgrounds, a network of continuous walking paths, and extensive community gardens. Continuous, lush perimeter landscaping of deciduous and coniferous trees acts as a buffer. Clearly marked internal streets. The main community entrance from Township Road 244 features significant landscaping and signage. All textual titles and grid are removed. The surrounding landscape context remains (Township Rd 244, Hwy 817, and neighboring fields).

Strategic Opportunity & Ideal Buyer Profile

This property is best suited for buyers who understand the value of scale, flexibility, and long-term positioning within a growth corridor.

  • Hold for long-term appreciation

  • Develop in phases over time

  • Explore subdivision concepts

  • Maintain agricultural use while planning future development

TITLE OVERVIEW & KEY CONSIDERATIONS

The property is held under Fee Simple ownership, offering full ownership of the land (excluding mineral rights), with several important title elements to consider for planning and investment purposes.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

  • Approximate usable land is ~138 acres after title exceptions
