This combined total of 235 acres, selling as three separate Parcels, is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Sturgeon County. Offering the quiet solitude of country living while remaining close enough to enjoy the bright lights of Alberta’s Capital City, ‘Cream Of The Crop’ is ideally situated just five miles north of the intersection of 66th Street and the Anthony Henday Freeway and less than two miles east of the iconic Johnny’s Store on Highway 37. The prime location of these three Parcels provides both tranquility and convenience, making it an attractive option for agricultural use, investment, or potentially even future development.
These Parcels carry a deep sense of heritage and continuity, having been in the same family since 1901—a true testament to generational ownership and stewardship of the land. Locals refer to the area as the Sunnyside Community, a name that reflects both its welcoming rural character and long-standing agricultural roots. According to the Canada Land Inventory maps, the soil quality in this area ranks among the best in the region, making it ideal for crop production, pasture, or other farming pursuits. This combination of rich soil and historical legacy creates a uniquely valuable property offering. As the saying goes: you can never pay too much for good land, and ‘Cream Of The Crop’ is better than good.

Beyond its agricultural potential, the surrounding area provides an excellent balance of recreation and community amenities, including schools, museums, walking trails, and more. The farm is situated on the flightpath of migratory birds, and the small creek just to the west brings deer, moose, beaver, coyotes and even the odd bear. The Cardiff Golf & Country Club is nearby for leisure and social activity, while Highway 37 lies just a quarter mile to the south, as well as Highway 28 just two miles to the west, ensuring easy access to major routes.
