‘Topsoil On 831’ is a full quarter section located in Lamont County, Alberta, with major Highway 831 forming the western perimeter. Situated less than 4 miles south of the Waskatenau crossing on the North Saskatchewan River, this entire quarter is rated as Canada Land Inventory Class 2. In a county with very diverse soil classifications, ‘Topsoil On 831’ speaks to the axiom “you can never pay too much for good land and too little for poor land”. The cost of inputs for ‘Topsoil On 831’ are the same as the input costs for a quarter a few miles away with Class 5 soil - that may produce significantly less on a year-to-year basis. If considering buying ‘Topsoil On 831’, have your agronomist pull the Canada Land Inventory soil map before calling your banker; there is no sense settling for the rest when you can buy the best. It is said that hope is not a good strategy, so why not buy land of such quality that it guarantees it will pay for itself?
‘Topsoil On 831’ checks all the boxes: pavement along the west perimeter, an established yard side with a mature windbreak, a water well, power, and a 40’ x 60’ Quonset. The Miracle Span Quonset has been well-maintained and has power and a cold mix floor. The yard site features a large dugout in the northeast corner, providing water for farmstead irrigation or recreational fishing, thanks to its depth. The main home and the small summer house have not been used for several years.
Do the math on the cost of bringing in power, drilling a well, and replacing the Quonset, and the Starting Bid keeps getting cheaper. Some may even consider subdividing the yard and selling off the acreage while keeping the remainder to farm. The quarter comes with two- 2,000 bushel, flat-bottom, steel bins that are situated on concrete. ‘Topsoil On 831’ has been well cared for, and the current owner intends to leave it that way by completing a heavy harrow pass after the present crop is off.
