Living in Bearspaw

West of Calgary along Highway 1A, between Stoney Trail and Cochrane, sits Bearspaw — a rural-acreage community that, while technically part of Rocky View County, functions in every practical sense as Calgary's leading acreage address. Expect wide-open lots, mountain sightlines, and a country pace that's still just minutes from the city limits.

The housing stock centres on sizeable acreage properties spread across 2 to 20-plus acre parcels, ranging from contemporary custom builds to well-established 1980s and 1990s acreage homes, plus a handful of working hobby farms. Heated shops, secondary suites, and other acreage-specific extras are common here — features you generally won't find on a standard city lot.

For schooling, families are zoned into Bearspaw School (Rocky View Schools) through grade 9, moving on to Cochrane High School or a Calgary Catholic option such as St. Timothy for high school. Socially, the Bearspaw Country Club anchors the community's prestige scene, while the Bow River and Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park deliver easy access to pathways and outdoor recreation.

Expect a price range of roughly $1.5M to $5M or more, with the biggest custom estates on premium acreage occasionally pushing past $8M. The typical buyer here is an established executive, a multigenerational family, or an equestrian or hobby-farm household. If you're weighing options, Springbank Hill, Cochrane, and Priddis are worth a look too.
