This exceptional 32-acre generational farm, located just 5 miles from town and along the Highway 2 corridor, is a rare opportunity to own a property that has been well maintained and improved over decades with tremendous pride of ownership. The grounds are truly stunning, featuring a long-established yard with mature trees throughout and impressive perimeter shelterbelt treelines that provide privacy, wind protection, and natural beauty. An established orchard includes apple, saskatoon, Nanking cherry, plum, raspberry, and chokecherry trees, complemented by a large garden area. Additional amenities include a large fenced dog pen and a thoughtful summer water system servicing perimeter trees and a water bowl at the back of the property.The land is fully perimeter fenced and offers extensive paddock fencing with automatic heated water bowls connected to all paddocks. Currently configured with 15 permanent paddocks and a dugout in the large treed pasture on the west side, this property is exceptionally well-suited as an equestrian center or multi-use farm.
