What sells here and who buys

Rural property in the MD covers a wide range, from cabins near Beaver Mines and the Castle area to working ranches and acreages with views of the Livingstone Range. Buyers include local ranch families, people moving from Calgary or Lethbridge for space and mountain access, and recreational buyers looking for a cabin.

Each type of buyer asks different questions. Recreational buyers want access, services and how the property can be used. Ranch and acreage buyers look at water, fencing, buildings and land use. A good listing answers them up front.

Tips for rural sellers

• Know your water and septic. Have well records and septic details ready, plus any water licence information for larger properties.
• Check your land use. Zoning and any development permits for cabins, suites or outbuildings come up quickly with buyers.
• Show it in good weather. Ground photos taken when access is easy and the land is green help buyers judge a rural property from afar.
