There are ranches, and then there are legacy ranches. Perched high above the breathtaking Red Deer River Valley, this extraordinary 514 ± acre ranch offers a level of privacy, natural beauty, and opportunity that is rarely found. Boasting approximately 1.5 miles of Red Deer River frontage, spectacular panoramic views, and the tranquility of a quiet dead-end road, this remarkable property is truly one of Central Alberta’s hidden gems. Located just 4 miles south of Haynes and only 18 minutes from Red Deer, the ranch offers the perfect balance of complete seclusion and convenient access to city amenities. Extensively renovated over the past several years, the 1985-built ranch home offers approximately 1,730 sq. ft. on the main floor with an additional 1,575 sq. ft. of fully developed basement. Perfectly positioned to capture the stunning river valley views from nearly every room, the home blends modern comfort with the timeless character of Alberta ranch living. Whether you’re looking to expand your cattle operation or you’re a successful entrepreneur seeking a private ranch to enjoy after years of building a business, this property offers a lifestyle few can match. Hidden away at the very end of a quiet dead-end road, you’ll experience exceptional privacy while overlooking miles of the Red Deer River Valley making this a rare opportunity to enjoy the serenity of a legacy ranch without giving up the conveniences of the city. Comprising seven separate titles totaling 514 ± acres, the ranch includes approximately 70 ± acres of productive hay land and has historically carried approximately 60 cow/calf pairs. The land is perimeter fenced and some 4-wire cross fencing to support efficient livestock management. The livestock handling facilities feature durable steel panel corrals, a classic hip-roof barn with six stalls providing both functionality and authentic ranch character and a heated 2 car garage. Water is one of the ranch’s greatest assets, with seven active natural springs providing an abundant water source for both livestock and domestic use while enhancing the beauty and sustainability of the property and a new Septic tank and Field installed in 2019. Wildlife is abundant throughout the ranch with deer, elk, and moose which are frequently seen, as the rolling hills, native pasture, numerous springs, extensive Red Deer River frontage, and picturesque river valley view’s combine to create a landscape that is truly breathtaking and productive. The photos of this property do not give justice to its quality. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
