These 480-acres selling as 3 Parcels are located just 15 miles NW of Vegreville, Alberta, a bustling town with a population exceeding 5,700 and all key amenities, including two major elevators. A mere one-hour drive from Edmonton, and less than 10 miles north of the interchange between major TransCanada Highway 16 & Highway 631, this ‘Well Kept Gem’ offers an excellent opportunity for a beginning farmer, an existing operation looking to expand, or even a potential organic farm, with no existing or abandoned gas or oil wells.
With ample average annual rainfall, this ‘Well Kept Gem’ has provided a healthy living for the current owner for the past 50 years and it is time to pass this jewel on to the next lucky owner. These Parcels are set up to take advantage of every acre and are ideal for a mixed farming operation, including grain and beef. These 3 quarters allow feed options for pasturing or wintering your stock, boast local feedlots to market your calf crops, and offer great proximity to nearby elevators for marketing your grain crops, whether locally or globally.
Assemblages of land like this are few and far between; these three quarters assert a combined total of approximately 385 productive, cultivated acres and debris free pastures with good 4 wire fences, trees, large dugouts, and water rights. With a focus on sustainable agriculture and good farming practices, including a three-year crop rotation, and guidance from an agronomist, this mixed farming operation provides a profitable return. This ‘Well Kept Gem’ offers a fully serviced yard site, complete with a well-maintained residence, and all agricultural facilities.
PARCEL 1 consists of 160 acres, with approximately 140 cultivated acres currently seeded to Hard Red Spring Wheat. There are approximately 10 acres of pasture, and a meticulously kept yard site that includes a 1,560 square foot bungalow. There are also several outbuildings, including a unique red barn with a maternity pen, a pole shed and two water wells with ample water.
PARCEL 2 is comprised of 160 acres, with approximately 110 cultivated acres (seeded to Hard Red Spring Wheat), roughly 50 acres of pasture, and excellent potential for a future yard site with a water well on site, and power and natural gas adjacent to the property.
PARCEL 3 is made up of 160 acres and is located half a mile east of Parcel 2. There are approximately 135 cultivated acres, around 25 acres of pasture with good fences, and a dugout for watering stock.
The opportunity to purchase Parcels like these gems does not come around very often. If looking to broaden one’s horizons and invest in farmland, why not invest in farmland that is situated to flourish? ‘Well Kept Gem’ will be offered for sale via online escalating tender by CLHbid.com.
