Foothills County
De Winton acreages.
Gentle country residential land between Calgary's south edge and Okotoks, close to Highway 2.
De Winton is a hamlet of Foothills County on the open land south of Calgary, with Heritage Pointe — also an official hamlet of the county — nearby. Its advantage is access: fast routes into south Calgary and to Okotoks make it one of the most practical acreage areas for commuters.
