We all know of the famous woman who coined the phrase: 'you can have it all, just not all at once.’ Someone should tell her that she needs to think again and ask her pilot to fire up the Falcon jet and lock on a heading of 012 degrees true for 2.5 hours. Once the jet has landed at the Vegreville airport, she can then take a short helicopter ride 25 miles to the east and look down at ‘Innisfree Lofty 8,’ and realize that she was wrong – you can have it all at once. She will see ‘Innisfree Lofty 8’ for what it is: a mosaic that mirrors the State of Montana but is in eastern Alberta, all with natural springs, mature spruce, the Vermilion River, and a ravine suitable for a T-bar. One could call it Spruce Point Ski Hill and add a zipline for the summer months. Parcels 4 and 5 are so picturesque that segments of Yellowstone could be filmed here. As you move west, you go from ranch land to farmland, with similar elevations to those found in North Dakota; all highly fertile and well-drained land.
The yard, with the home site on the west, looks like something right out of the State of Kansas. With 24 hopper bins, a 60’ by 80’ machine shop, 50’ x 80’ Quonset, epoxy coated fertilizer bins, several calving shelters, an 18' by 36' barn with a cement floor, corrals with water bowls, fuels tanks, underground power and more, this is a mixed farmer or rancher’s paradise and is located just 11 miles north of the major Yellowhead Highway.
The infrastructure on Parcel 1 could support many more acres and the yard site is meticulously laid out with ample room for expansion. The 1,020 sq ft house was built in 1964 and has a finished basement. The residence boasts 4 bedrooms in total and has its own well and septic system. The 30' x 42' garage is finished to perfection and must be seen to be believed.
Recreational enthusiasts may set their sights on Parcel 5, looking for that ultimate secluded retirement half section on a river; their safety is sure to come off with a loaded magazine on sale day. For others, consideration may be given to passive income from the possibility of aggregate on the lower flats. Testing on Parcels 3 and 5 will be permitted under specific terms before sale day. Parcels 2, 3, and 4 consist of 800 acres in total with more than 600 cultivated acres. Parcel 5 has approximately 70 cultivated acres, with the balance in a mixture of seeded acres and native pasture. Parcel 3 comes with an artesian well on the north quarter. The Starting Bids on ‘Innisfree Lofty 8’ are set at a mere fraction of what land recently sold for south of Ranfurly, AB.
