About AcreScout

AcreScout gathers rural land for sale across Canada into one map, ranked by price per acre, water frontage and value against similar land nearby. It's run by Buretto, a small software company in British Columbia, Canada. Questions and corrections: support@acrescout.ca or 778-819-1350.

We aren't real estate agents and don't sell land. Every listing links to its original ad; confirm the details, the boundaries and the title with the listing agent, a surveyor and a lawyer before you buy.
