Undulating topography rises above the semi-arid plains in this breathtaking region of Cypress County, a true hidden emerald located in Southern Alberta. In this astonishing micro alpine environment, mature spruce trees populate the hillside overlooking spring fed creeks. This creates the perfect habitat for wildlife and an ideal building location for your tranquil retreat. ‘Emerald of Cypress’ is a haven for adventure and offers exceptional beauty on the doorstep of Alberta’s Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. A true oasis that you can call your own.


Situated a mere 2 miles NW of the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, ‘Emerald of Cypress’ consists of 156 acres selling as 2 Parcels, o?ering the benefit of choice to the new owner; more titles mean more value and opportunity. Both Parcels 1 and 2 are intersected by the paved Eagle Butte Road. Parcel 1 consists of 144 total acres, of which 60 acres are seeded down to Triticale. Parcel 2 is comprised of 11 acres and offers the perfect building spot with good access from paved Eagle Butte Road and has a Starting Bid set at a fraction of what lots or acreages sell for close to The Hat.


Named after the buttes of the area, which have been carved out of the landscape over time, deeded acres offer bidders a rare opportunity to purchase land in an area where much of the land is Crown, and where titled land often remains in the family for generations for good reason.



‘Emerald of Cypress’ offers an excellent opportunity to add acres to your existing operation, or a chance to secure your own little slice of heaven in an area that land is by and large hard to come by. Imagine clocking out from downtown Medicine Hat on a Friday afternoon and within 30 minutes of driving on pavement, arriving at your own private cabin or timber frame with absolute seclusion in one of the largest Dark Sky preserves in all North America.


The possible building locations were seemingly created by mother nature with the intention to relish in the breathtaking Cypress Hills vista. Elk Creek, which locals named after the herds of elk that migrate through this land, cuts its way through both Parcels, and runs to a bottom fed pond. This creates the perfect sanctuary for not only elk, but also deer, moose, pronghorn, and even wild turkeys. With power and natural gas to the edge of the property, the choice is yours whether you want to build an o?-the-grid retreat, or a fully serviced haven. You really need to go walk Parcel 1 as words cannot do it justice. By western Canadian standards…this is as good as it gets.
