Lac Ste. Anne County Acreages: Lake Country West of the City
Lac Ste. Anne County is the busiest acreage market northwest of Edmonton: 249 acreage homes sold there on our MLS System in the 12 months to October 31, at a median of $450,000. Most of that activity sits within reach of Highway 43 and the county's lakes, which is why southwest owners who want water nearby usually start here.

A county organised around its lakes
Lac Ste. Anne itself is the largest lake in the county and the site of the Lac Ste. Anne Pilgrimage, which Pope Francis attended in 2022. Lac la Nonne, Nakamun Lake and Lake Isle are inside the county too, ringed by summer villages. Many acreages are a few minutes from a public boat launch rather than on the shore, and that difference shows up in price, in taxes and in what you are allowed to build near the water.
Choice for buyers, two very different products
| Property | Sold | Median | Listed Nov 8 | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acreage with a home | 249 | $450,000 | 84 | 4.0 |
| Vacant land | 98 | $122,500 | 63 | 7.7 |

Bare land sold at 91.47% of asking and took a median of 51 days, so land buyers here have room to negotiate. A finished acreage at the median costs well under the $675,000 detached median in Windermere, which is the comparison most of our southwest clients bring with them.
Getting there and getting services
The County describes its office near Sangudo as about an hour west of Edmonton. From the southwest, the Henday north to the Yellowhead and then Highway 43 is the usual path. Northern Gateway Public Schools runs all nine schools in the county, in Onoway, Alberta Beach, Darwell, Rich Valley, Sangudo and Mayerthorpe, and the Mayerthorpe Healthcare Centre has emergency services.
What to check on a lake-area acreage
- Distance to the shoreline and any environmental reserve, which can limit decks, docks and clearing.
- Well records in the provincial database; near the lakes, ask about water quality as well as flow.
- Septic age and type. Older cabin-era systems near water are a common surprise.
- Zoning under Land Use Bylaw 22-2017, especially for a second dwelling or a shop.
