An excellent opportunity to acquire a large, contiguous grazing package along the Owl River, combining three deeded quarter sections with a Forest Grazing Licence and a provincial Grazing Lease. Together, the holdings provide approximately 1,275 acres of connected deeded and Crown grazing lands, making this an attractive starter ranch or an economical way for an established cattle operation to secure additional grass and pasture.
The package includes approximately 480 acres of deeded land together with Forest Grazing Licence FGL 140003, comprising approximately 639.6 acres, and Grazing Lease GRL 840065, comprising approximately 160 acres. The Grazing Lease covers NW-7-69-13-W4 and is renewable subject to the Public Lands Act. The current lease document has a term running to October 31, 2027. Assignment or transfer of the Grazing Lease requires the written consent of the provincial director.
Forest Grazing Licence FGL 140003 encompasses approximately 639.6 acres across portions of Sections 1 and 12, Township 69, Range 14, W4M. The disposition includes lands on both sides of the Owl River and was established specifically for livestock grazing. The licence requires proper range-management practices, maintenance of livestock fencing and provincial approval for assignment or transfer. The original document provided a May 15 to October 31 grazing period unless otherwise authorized.
The Owl River winds through the overall holding and provides an important natural water feature, while the Forest Grazing Licence also contains abundant water throughout the grazing area. Above the river, particularly toward the east, there are areas of good, firm ground suited to livestock use. NE-12-69-14-W4 also contains good ground with potential to be cleared and developed into improved pasture, subject to applicable approvals.
The blocks are contiguous and there is existing fencing throughout portions of the property, although the location, condition and extent of all fencing should be independently confirmed by a purchaser. Access is available to both sides of the holding, with Range Road 135 serving the east side and Old Conklin Road providing access from the west, allowing practical access to lands situated on either side of the Owl River.
For buyers looking for flexibility, the property can be purchased as one complete grazing package or divided into two logical operating blocks:
In addition to its agricultural value, the property offers excellent recreational appeal. The combination of river bottom, forest cover, open grazing country and abundant water creates strong wildlife habitat, with opportunities for white-tailed deer, moose and black bear hunting.
With approximately 1,280 contiguous acres, multiple water sources, two-sided access and a combination of deeded and Crown grazing land, this is a compelling opportunity for a first-time rancher looking to establish a grazing base or an existing producer seeking additional pasture without the cost of acquiring an entirely deeded land base.

The Lac La Biche region has a long history shaped by Indigenous peoples, the fur trade, agriculture and resource development. For generations, the area was home to Cree and Métis communities and later became an important part of the northern fur-trading network, with voyageurs and traders travelling through the region’s lakes and waterways.
European settlement expanded in the late 1800s and early 1900s as missionaries, homesteaders and farming families moved into the area. Agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing became important local industries, followed later by oil and gas development, which played a major role in the modern regional economy.
Today, the area retains strong agricultural, Métis and Indigenous roots, with historic communities, working farms and ranches, and a landscape that still reflects the region’s early reliance on the land, forests and waterways.
