Foothills County
Millarville acreages.
Ranch country, long foothills ridges and some of the quietest roads within an hour of Calgary.
Millarville is a hamlet of Foothills County in rolling ranchland south of Priddis. This is country where parcels tend to be larger, working land is common and the pace is set by the seasons. The Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society's summer market and the vertical-log Christ Church, dedicated in 1896, are local landmarks.
At about 1,215 m, its landscape of ridges and valleys varies by roughly 195 m within five kilometres, opening to wide views of the front ranges to the west.

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.
For context only: CREB's August 2026 report for its Foothills Region — all residential property types, including Okotoks, High River and Diamond Valley, not acreages alone — shows 116 sales, a benchmark price of $679,600 and 3.10 months of supply. Source: CREB.

Can part of a Millarville acreage be assessed as farmland?
Possibly. Land used for farming operations, the raising, production and sale of agricultural products including horses and cattle, is assessed on agricultural use value rather than market value, while the residence and its site stay at market value. The county assessor decides; read more.

Who is responsible for weeds on a Millarville pasture?
The owner or occupant. Alberta's Weed Control Act requires anyone who owns or occupies land to control noxious weeds, such as Canada thistle and oxeye daisy, and to destroy prohibited noxious weeds. Municipalities can designate more weeds locally.
