Foothills land for sale can come in many forms, with different types of listings popping up on the market daily. While most people might have the misconception that there is only a certain type of property available in the Foothills, that’s just not the case! Below, we’re going to outline some of the most common types of properties for sale in the Foothills and what you might love about each of them.

Farmland/Acreages: With well over a hundred years of agricultural heritage, the Foothills has farmland in abundance! Whether you’re simply looking for a few acres to give you some much needed space and breathing room, like an Okotoks acreage, a small hobby farm to keep you active in the fresh air, or a full-fledged farm and ranch life, the Foothills has a constantly changing list of potential homes.

Cottages in Wooded Areas: Being at the base of the Rocky Mountains means the Foothills has a variety of flat land, rolling foothills and wooded areas. Many acreages give owners their own private forest, and many have cottages and homes nestled in those protective trees. Okotoks acreages are hot spots for beautiful land with treed areas — contact us at Real Estate Foothills for a full list of Okotoks acreages for sale!

Access to Water: Whether you’re lucky enough to find waterfront or lakefront property, or simply have direct access to lakes and rivers mere minutes away, you can indulge in water activities at your leisure! This allows you and your family to experience all aspects of Mother Nature, and enjoy water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding or canoeing spontaneously!

There’s a reason Okotoks real estate is in such high demand — having great communities, employing exceptional home builders and being on the cusp of the Foothills means you’re living in a prairie paradise. This paradise even has a full scoop of amenities, with Calgary’s big city perks just a short drive north. The perfect medium-sized community, Okotoks is ideal for those who want to move from their rural properties to a larger community, or for those moving from a large centre who are looking to slow the pace of their life down a little bit. So, if you’ve been bitten by the bug, here’s what we think you need to know about Okotoks real estate in October of 2018!

The average price for Okotoks real estate in September of 2018 was $493,000, as homes come on good-sized lots with tons of upgrades and perks inside (like higher-end finishes and fully developed basements). But the upgrades and perks to your home aren’t just inside — spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains and rolling Foothills are very easy on the eyes. The average sold price, in September, is up 12.5%, with most homes sold being single-family, detached dwellings — classic single-family homes.

There are plenty of options for Okotoks real estate; as of October 9th, there were 85 new listings on the market, meaning buyers have their choice of home styles, whether they’re looking for new builds or more classic existing properties. The amount of inventory on the market means buyers aren’t faced with giving up items on their “Must Have” lists — one can find listings with any number of bathrooms and bedrooms (from one bedroom up to as many as six), and any amount of square footage.
