    Acreages in Foothills County

    The Municipal District of Foothills to the south of Calgary spans more than 3,600 square kilometres and is where you’ll find Okotoks, High River, Black Diamond and other towns and villages. Exclusive communities like Heritage Pointe are also found in the region.

    The diverse topography of the Foothills M.D. includes beautiful rolling foothills amid river valleys and patches of aspen groves with the Rocky Mountains on the horizon, making the Foothills a go-to area for buyers browsing acreages for sale near Calgary.

    The inherent scenery of the area typically provides additional layers of privacy while also keeping many home owners in awe with the sheer beauty of the panoramic views often seen from home.

    Acreages in Rocky View County
