Foothills County
Priddis acreages.
Treed foothills, spring-fed valleys and private estates southwest of the city.
Priddis is a hamlet of Foothills County in the treed hills southwest of Calgary, with neighbouring Priddis Greens also an official hamlet of the county. The country around it is a mosaic of aspen and spruce, open meadow and small creek valleys, and the University of Calgary operates its Rothney Astrophysical Observatory nearby.
Its relief is among the strongest in the region — about 225 m within five kilometres — which produces sheltered building sites in the trees and elevated sites with long views, sometimes within the same parcel.

Pricing in Priddis
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.
