160 ACRES. PRIVACY. NATURAL BEAUTY. UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. This is a rare opportunity to own 160 acres of beautiful Alberta countryside in the M.D. of Bighorn, where mature forest, open pasture/grassland, rolling terrain and natural beauty come together to create an exceptional private setting. Located along the Highway 40 corridor north of Cochrane, this property puts you at the gateway to the spectacular Ghost River, Waiparous and Rocky Mountain recreational areas, while remaining within easy reach of Cochrane and Calgary. The surrounding area is renowned for its large private holdings, mountain scenery and access to year-round outdoor recreation. Ghost Lake and its recreational opportunities are nearby, while Canmore and Banff are accessible via the Bow Valley corridor.
