Set privately among the trees and overlooking approximately 45 acres of productive hay fields, this rustic log home offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking to create a country retreat, hobby farm or family homestead. The home features approximately 1,200 square feet on the main floor plus a full concrete basement of similar size, providing plenty of space for future development.
The home is entered through the walk-out basement, where you'll find four separate rooms including a utility/furnace room, a dedicated solar battery storage room, an entrance/storage area, and two additional rooms that could be finished as bedrooms, recreation rooms, a workshop or hobby space. The lower level is largely unfinished and requires upgrading but offers tremendous potential.
Upstairs, the home opens into a spacious open-concept living, dining and kitchen area centred around a striking masonry fireplace and chimney that forms the heart of the home. Large windows capture peaceful views across the hay fields, while a door leads onto the wraparound deck, providing the perfect place to enjoy the quiet surroundings. The main floor also includes two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with en suite, a second full bathroom and a utility room. The rustic interior combines log construction with framed and drywall-finished bedroom walls, creating a warm country feel.
Powered by a well-established solar system with batteries replaced approximately two years ago, the home also features a durable metal roof and full concrete basement. The wood stove and fireplace have not been WETT inspected. While the home requires repairs, updating and general maintenance, it provides a solid foundation for someone with the vision to restore it into a beautiful rural family home.
The yard surrounding the home offers the charm of an old farmstead waiting to be brought back to life. A greenhouse, woodshed/storage building, fenced yard adjacent to the home, established garden area and a small outbuilding that once operated as a roadside garden stand provide an excellent foundation for self-sufficient country living.
A small year-round creek meanders in front of the home, filling the property with the relaxing sound of running water. A quaint wooden footbridge crosses the creek, leading directly into the open hay fields beyond. With some landscaping and care, the grounds could once again become a beautiful country setting while maintaining the exceptional privacy the property enjoys.
This beautiful 78-acre property offers an excellent combination of productive farmland and peaceful rural living. Approximately 45 acres are in productive hay fields consisting of a healthy mix of clover and grass hay. The fields have never been ploughed, allowing the established forage stand to remain strong and productive. The land has also never been fertilized or treated with herbicides, giving a purchaser the opportunity to pursue organic certification if desired.
A creek flows through the centre of the hay fields, providing an excellent water source for pump irrigation, while valuable domestic and livestock water rights, costing approximately $100 per year, are included with the property. The entire property is perimeter fenced with barbed wire, making it well suited for livestock. The productive forage and existing fencing make this an ideal property for backgrounding yearlings, operating a hobby farm, or establishing a small cattle or horse operation. Surrounded by nature in a quiet, private setting with good year-round road access, the property offers the best of rural living while remaining conveniently located near amenities. Although currently off-grid with a reliable solar power system, hydro is available only approximately 1.5 miles away, providing the option to connect to the grid in the future.
Offering productive farmland, abundant privacy, water rights, and a spacious log home ready for restoration, this affordable acreage presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers looking to build equity and create their own country lifestyle.
