Custom Homes in Mountain View County

Small-town living with the big city down the road: what more could you want out of a home?

It may seem like heaven, but this beautiful landscape can be home when you choose to live in Mountain View County!

This region is about 3,700 sq. km of central Alberta paradise, located between Bowden and Crossfield to the north and south, and Stirlingville and Bearberry to the east and west. It’s just a short drive from Calgary or Red Deer, but it feels like a whole new world. Oil and gas make up much of the economy here, along with agriculture, forestry, and even tourism. About 13,000 people live, work, and play here…why not be one of them with a custom Thomas-built home?

What to Know About Mountain View County

While Mountain View has many of the amenities you need, it is still a rural area. To go along with the acres of space, fresh air, and amazing views, residents use private water wells and septic tanks for their water needs – because of overlaying soil that filters out disease-causing microbes, this deep groundwater is generally clean enough to use. Alberta Health Services offers well water sampling containers to check the quality of drinking water, and homeowners can use the resources of the “Working Well” program to properly maintain their supply.

With such a strong focus on the community, Mountain View County prioritizes actions that will improve everyone’s standard of living. That means there are also county and resident considerations for open fires, pest control, soil conservation, and more. But overall, this is a place to lead a simple, fulfilling life – where you can raise a family, work and play hard, and feel totally at ease with where you are. Though you may be far from your neighbours, you’ll find that they quickly become close friends. And with this satisfying new life you’re building, why not design and build a custom home to match?
