The listing realtor will be on site 4:30 to 6:00pm July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. This 80 acre agricultural property is located a 11 min drive north of the 1A Hwy on Lochend Road (Hwy 766), just north of the Bearspaw area. The paved road leads right to the access point at the corner of Twp Road 274A. Turn east for 25 meters on the gravel driveway and cross the Texas Gate onto the land. There is an impressive mix of original prairie grasses, native shrubs and a mix of trees on the west 20 acres. To the east is the unfenced permanent range-land/occasional wetlands/virgin grasslands that is protected by a DUC caveat. From the Texas Gate, follow the trail south towards the large tree stands, rolling land and hills to the orange post that indicates the unfenced south boundary. The land is 1/2 mile deep, and 1/4 mile north/south wide. The east markers are not visible due to the distance. The range land in this area is wild and unfenced. The current rancher is prepared to lease the land. Perhaps setting your homestead in an exclusion fenced area of a few acres somewhere on this parcel would be an option. When the driveway was built, there was no evidence of any stones, nor any surface stones either. The power poles run along the fence line, natural gas is available, and the water well can be drilled were the house or shop will be situated. This is virgin ranch land, waiting for a homesteader, apparently not impacted by applied agricultural pest control productsMore details
