Allen's Trout Farm has a 10 acre parcel of land within an approved residential sub division, zoned DC119 in the County of Rocky View. The access to the property is off Glenmore Trail west and Lott Creek Boulevard.

Alberta Environment found whirling disease in the Bow River basin and quarantined all the fish farms adjacent to the rivers. This stopped us from hatching and selling live trout for stocking, cutting off our income completely after 57 years in business. The farm will be shut down permanently as of May 30th, 2019 therefore we must find a new use for this property

We are formally applying to the County of Rocky View to approve an sixteen lot self-sustaining subdivision with energy efficient homes and attached greenhouses.

Each home and lot will have;

1. Solar and wind power
2. Geothermal floor heating
3. Hydro electric powered by a water screw generator from 5,000 gallon per minute spring water on site that runs year round. (temp. 8 to 12 degrees )
4. Homes to be single story, min. 1200 sq. ft. max 3000 sq. ft.
5. Low water volume toilets and shower heads
6. Electric car included in purchase of lot
7. All homes to be insulated R50 with triple pain glass
8. Sewer treatment plant; no affluent released in river, all slug hauled to receiving station. Clear water will be stored and used for watering lawns
9. The potable water supply will be chlorine reverse osmosis treated filtered water from wells at each home
10. All storm water will drain to ponds on site
11. Fire hydrants on site
12. Greenhouse to grow produce for home use and public sale

Our lot plan design is compatible with adjacent land owners in the DC zoning and will not affect their ability to go ahead with their project.
There are thousands of people retiring and living longer that want to down size their homes, plus live in a secure, affordable country atmosphere. This resort will have minimal utility costs and give homeowners the opportunity to grow their own healthy food year-round.
