Year-round road access and maintenance are things to pay attention to when investing in a rural property. Especially in the winter months with our snowfalls, but both Rural Rocky View County and Foothills County are excellent at clearing the roads, and the school routes take priority.
Garbage pick-up is no big deal on a rural property, most owners use a twice monthly pick up company and leave the bags on a scheduled day at the end of the drive. You also have the option to take it to the refuse dump yourself. Maybe burn it yourself in the yard, and in older homes you may have kitchen compactors, which come in very useful.
Your water source is important, you may be on a water coop or have your own water well, which will need to be serviced annually. Osmosis filters can be added to main supplies also, and in some cases you may be lucky enough to be connected to municipal water source.
Sewage and water waste in the country are much different than in a suburb or city. If you are building, you will have the added cost of putting your own in Septic Rank This may be a holding tank or tank and field, remember to chose a septic system big enough for your house and the subsequent amount of occupants.
Power lines and backup energy are things to ponder when looking at a rural property. Calgary and area power is pretty good, but you can still consider a power generator if the power lines get damaged given that you’ll be one of the last areas served for repairs.
Your neighbours may be a fair distance away compared to the city. Look hard though at how they keep their property, what animals if any, they may have. Always be aware of your boundary lines and understand your property rights.
