Acreage Living Near Regina, Saskatchewan — The Complete Guide

More and more families are choosing acreage living near Regina for the space, privacy, and rural lifestyle — without giving up the convenience of city amenities. If you’re considering the move, here’s what you should know.

Popular Acreage Communities

The most sought-after acreage areas around Regina include the RM of Sherwood (south and west of the city), Edenwold (east along Highway 1), Lumsden (north along the Qu’Appelle Valley), and Pense (west along the Trans-Canada). Each area has a different character — Lumsden offers valley views and proximity to Last Mountain Lake, while Sherwood and Edenwold provide quick commutes into the city.

What Does an Acreage Cost?

Acreage prices near Regina vary widely based on lot size, improvements, and location. A basic 5–10 acre parcel with a modest home typically starts around $350,000–$500,000. Premium acreages with newer homes, shops, and landscaping can range from $600,000 to well over $1 million. Bare land acreage lots (ready to build) generally sell for $80,000–$200,000 depending on servicing and location.

Water and Septic

Most acreages rely on a private well for water and a septic system for wastewater. Get a water test before buying — water quality varies significantly across the Regina Plains, and some areas have hard water, iron, or other mineral issues that require treatment. Septic systems should be inspected as part of your due diligence; replacement costs can be $15,000–30,000.

Commute Times

One of the biggest advantages of acreage living near Regina is the short commute. Most popular acreage areas are 15–30 minutes from downtown. Highways 1, 6, and 11 provide excellent access. Winter driving on gravel roads is the main consideration — ask about road maintenance in your specific RM.

Schools and Services

School bus service is available in most rural areas, with children attending schools in nearby towns or in Regina. High-speed internet is increasingly available via Starlink and SaskTel rural fibre expansion. Garbage collection varies by RM — some offer curbside pickup while others require trips to a transfer station.

Is Acreage Life Right for You?

Acreage living means more maintenance (snow clearing, lawn care, septic pumping, well maintenance), but the trade-off is space, quiet, and a connection to the land. Many families find it’s the best of both worlds — rural peace with urban convenience just a short drive away.
