Outdoor lovers, people who want acreages or recreational land, retirees, and families looking for a small town with a strong community.

What to know before you buy

• Recreational and rural property. Land west of Sundre can include treed parcels, river frontage and recreational lots. Check access, water, power and any restrictions on building or use.
• Flood and river setbacks. Properties near the Red Deer River should be checked for flood mapping and setback rules before you buy.
• Wells and septic. Most rural properties rely on private systems, so test the water and inspect the septic.
• Seasonal roads. Some rural roads are rougher in spring and winter. Visit more than once if you can.
