The property near Beaverdell, B.C. includes a 5,156 square-foot home, a 2,156 square-foot log garage and another 2,535 square-foot home “that is ideal for the ranch manager,” the listing says.
In addition, it has grazing land, an indoor riding arena, water wells and an updated irrigation system.
“More than $1,000,000 was spent upgrading the irrigation system in 2018,” the listing states. “It now boasts five Zimmatic pivots, multiple potable water wells for irrigation and drinking, and mainline water management.”

The $5.9 million starting point for bids is for the property and the buildings on it.
But interested buyers can purchase additional items from the seller.
For another $1.5 million, for example, the ranch will come with all of its equipment.
Some of the pieces of farm machinery include a 2015 John Deere 7210R tractor, a 2015 John Deere 6155R tractor, a 2018 Haybuster 107 10ft. no-till seed drill and a 2017 Hustler X5000 chainless bale feeder.
Buyers can also choose to buy the ranch’s livestock.
For $696,000, the winning bidder would receive a 110-head fall calving cow herd, a 110-head spring calving cow herd and eight two- to four-year-old Charolais herd bulls.
And livestock equipment is available for $74,000.
