Maple Ridge is one of the largest acreage markets in Metro Vancouver, offering 1-to-10+ acre forested and pastoral properties within 45–55 minutes of Vancouver. Every listing on this page sits on 1 acre (0.4 hectares) or more, spanning Websters Corners (median lot size 1.07 acres in Q3 2026), Thornhill (median 2.45 acres), Whonnock (median 1.72 acres), Northeast Maple Ridge (median 1.99 acres), and Northwest Maple Ridge ALR estates.
Under Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019, non-ALR rural acreages are primarily zoned RS-2 (Single Detached Suburban Residential, minimum lot 0.4 ha / 1.0 acre) or RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential, minimum lot 0.8 ha / 2.0 acres with community water or 2.0 ha / 4.9 acres without), while agricultural acreages fall under A-1, A-2, or A-3.
Purchasing an acreage in Maple Ridge requires specialized rural due diligence: testing drilled or shallow well flow rates (gallons per minute) and potability (or confirming municipal water connection in parts of Websters Corners and Thornhill), hiring a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner (ROWP) to inspect the septic tank and distribution field, verifying building permits on detached workshops and barns, and checking watercourse and steep-slope Development Permit Areas.
Active listings in this category span Websters Corners, Thornhill (including the Thornhill Urban Reserve), Whonnock, Northeast Maple Ridge along Fern Crescent, North Maple Ridge, and Northwest Maple Ridge.

The primary acreage neighbourhoods in Maple Ridge are Websters Corners, Thornhill, Whonnock, and Northeast Maple Ridge (Silver Valley / Alouette Valley), plus agricultural acreages in Northwest Maple Ridge.
Under Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019, RS-2 is 1-acre (0.4 ha) suburban residential and RS-3 is 2-to-5-acre rural residential outside the ALR, whereas A-1 (min. 2 ha / 4.9 acres) is Small Holding Agricultural zoning typically located inside the Agricultural Land Reserve.
No rural acreages outside the Urban Area Boundary have municipal sanitary sewer (all use private septic systems). However, many 1-acre RS-2 properties in lower Websters Corners and western Thornhill connect to City of Maple Ridge municipal water, while Whonnock and upper rural properties rely on private wells.
Yes. RS-2, RS-3, and A-1 zones allow accessory buildings (workshops, garages, barns) and, on qualifying parcels, a detached garden suite or secondary residence, subject to maximum floor area, height, lot coverage, and watercourse setback rules in Bylaw No. 7600-2019.
During your subject period, always order a comprehensive lab water quality test (bacteria, nitrates, arsenic, and metals), a well pump flow-rate test, and a camera/hydraulic inspection of the septic tank and drain field by a certified ROWP.
The Thornhill Urban Reserve is a 343-hectare (848-acre) rural reserve in the Maple Ridge Official Community Plan (Section 10.2.2) where subdivision below 2.0 hectares (4.9 acres) is deferred until the city's population exceeds 100,000 and a full area and servicing plan is adopted.
