Rocky View County
East Rocky View acreages.
Prairie acreages east of the city with fast access to Stoney Trail and the airport.
East of Calgary, Rocky View County opens onto the prairie around the separate City of Chestermere and the county hamlets of Conrich and Langdon. The land is the flattest in the region — about 70 m of relief within five kilometres — trading mountain drama for big skies, sunrise views and quick connections to the ring road.
Rocky View County had a 2021 Census population of 41,028, up 4.1% since 2016. Dusko's team represented the four-acre estate at 281060 Township Road 243 here, minutes from Chestermere Lake.
Land use and parcels
Most acreages here fall in one of two Rocky View County districts under Land Use Bylaw C-8000-2020: R-RUR Residential, Rural, with a minimum parcel of 1.6 ha (3.95 ac) and room for limited agricultural pursuits, or R-CRD Residential, Country Residential, with a minimum of 0.8 ha (1.98 ac) for smaller parcels. Larger holdings are often in the agricultural districts A-GEN or A-SML (minimum 20.2 ha / 49.92 ac).
Livestock is permitted in R-RUR and R-CRD, scaled by parcel size: none below 1.4 ha (3.46 ac), two animal units from 1.4 to 2.0 ha, and more as the parcel grows. One horse is one animal unit. See the full table.

Pricing in East Rocky View
Alberta has no public register of sale prices, and acreage-only statistics are not published, so this guide does not quote acreage prices. For recent comparable country sales, ask Dusko directly.
