I know that Lake Summerside in Edmonton do have estate lots for sale at 400-500k. I have no idea how big they are. But there's powerline just a few hundred meters away.
It's seems you don't really know what you want. You first talked about "acreage", but then shifted the topic to residential lots. They are very different.

Estate lots in the city are expensive, at the same price of 2 acres in the rural area, close to 500k. 4 B" v7 N1 ?( k. B8 e
Plus the cost to build a house on such lots/acreage is at least twice to four times as much as normal residential houses. I can't afford it. 9 H" C2 G$ y, g7 O7 V* r. WSo I am trying to find a 1 acre in the rural area, not too far away from the city. 3 l* J3 i1 @$ s/ `Do you have any information?

现在这种房子挺稀缺的,一两年前还有一些100万以内的,现在越来越难。
I strongly advise to focus on urban subdivisions, for the money you wanna spend, you can buy or build a pretty nice house in the SW. BTW, do you ever think about the water supply/sewage disposal problem that come with acreage living, these inconvenience is something which urban dwellers may not appreciate.
