Air Ranch is a private, residential airpark community in northeast Okotoks built around a paved 3,025-foot (16/34) private airstrip that has hosted aircraft since the early 1970s. The residential community itself was formally established in 2005, the vision of local developer Bruce Winters after he encountered similar fly-in neighbourhoods while travelling in the United States, and it is widely described as Canada's first private airpark community. The roughly 97-hectare development includes a 13-hectare airport precinct with green space, and homes here are typically executive-style properties on larger lots, many with attached heated hangars so owners can taxi straight from their garage to the runway. Builders active in the community have included Wolverine Custom Homes, Baywest Homes, and Sterling Homes. It sits about 20 minutes from Calgary, with easy access to Okotoks amenities including Seaman Stadium.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Ranch
Is the private airstrip still active?
Yes. The runway operated under private leadership, closed briefly in 2016 to 2017 to come into compliance with Transport Canada regulations, and reopened under a new operating structure in 2017. It remains a paved, lit private runway used by resident aircraft owners.
Do all homes in Air Ranch have hangars?
Many, but not all, homes have attached or adjacent hangars, since Air Ranch includes both aviation lots along the runway and standard residential lots without direct taxiway access. Buyers who want a hangar should confirm the specific lot has taxiway access before purchasing.
How far is Air Ranch from central Okotoks and Calgary?
Air Ranch is on the northeast edge of Okotoks, about a 20-minute drive from Calgary, with easy access to Okotoks' shops, schools, and Seaman Stadium (home of the Okotoks Dawgs).
