About this 2 - Detached |
160 acres of privacy with an updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom farmhouse that has a large open kitchen and dining area, and wonderful sunroom (possible 3rd bedroom). Property is on two titles – 155 acres plus 5 acre subdivision. Two excellent wells. UV filter and water softener installed on main well making for exceptional drinking water. The property is fully fenced for horses, sheep, goats and dogs with 9 main fields + homesite.
Additional Info: The home is situated on the 155 acre block and features two bedrooms, one (upstairs) with ensuite and walk-in closet. Another master bedroom on main floor is bright and features a large mirrored closet. The large open kitchen has been updated with plenty of counter space and cupboards. The attached dining room is light and private.
A bright sunroom featuring large windows could be converted to a third bedroom. This room is a great place to sit and relax in the evening. A comfortable living room has an excellent wood-burning stove which heats the entire house in the winter. There is also forced air gas heating which is barely used! A second bathroom is on this floor with birch hardwood flooring.
The home has an earth basement with cold storage room. The new UV filter and water softening units are housed in the basement. Other extras include a built-in vacuum, and large entrance area with washer, dryer, closet and storage cupboards.
Mature trees and shrubs around the homesite makes for a very private home and pleasant living summer and winter. The size of the home is hard to see from the road. The homesite features vegetable gardens, Saskatoon berry bushes, etc.
Water to the home is from the 80ft. drilled well which produces 6-10 gal min - located in a locked storage shed close to the house. The water quality is excellent and both wells have been recently cleaned. There is a second drilled well on the 5-acre subdivision which produces approximately 20 gal min. There are outdoor security lights on each property.
The property is fully fenced and cross-fenced (new in 2006) and in excellent shape with 5’ page wire with one strand barbed wire on top. There are 9 main fields with plenty of access gates. The property is fenced for horses, sheep, goats and dogs with fields ranging in size from 1 acre to 80 acres. It is currently a working sheepdog and dog agility training centre, and sheep farm (300 head). Approximately 60 acres is in hay (alfalfa timothy) yielding 3-4 1300lb round bales per acre, while the balance is in pasture and native grasses. The property has its own year round creek in the valley with fully fenced dugout providing plenty of clean water for livestock. There are two walking bridges across the creek and trails for the outdoor enthusiast. There is also a natural wetland area of approximately 10 acres which features a wealth of birdlife in the summer. In winter, one can cross-country ski and snowshoe right from the doorstep. In summer, recreational walking is a must!
The 5-acre subdivision is fully fenced and has its own access driveway, gate and outdoor security lighting. This subdivision has water, electricity and gas services already installed.
