ABOUT THE LAND

EXPANSIVE ACREAGE SPACE WITH ROOM TO BREATHE LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY

Finding generous acreage parcels so close to Calgary has become a rare opportunity. At The Acres, each individual parcel serves as an uncompromised foundation for custom design, shaped around the natural contours and sunlight of the property. Homesites are positioned with care, protecting private outdoor living ares while aligning outdoor spaces with sweeping, uninterrupted horizon lines.

Rolling slopes, native grasslands, and the forested banks of the Elbow River define the daily living experience here. Rather than reshaping the land to fit buildings, the architecture is tailored to the terrain, drawing the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and surrounding valley right into your home.

  • Steps away from private river frontage, calm walking corridors, and natural Elbow River swimming spots.
  • Expansive views of the Rocky Mountain range and river valley woven into each site layout.
  • More than 50% of the total area preserved as protected open space, creating a private rural sanctuary.
  • Generous setbacks and thoughtful planning that give you room to roam without feeling isolated from your neighbours.
