This property was used as a lucrative hobby farm for my family from 2012-2016. We raised pigs, cattle, and horses. The property was not formally advertised when it was sold in 2012, but instead subdivided and sold off of a larger property by the former owners.

Bearing that in mind, here are the cold hard facts to the best of my knowledge: 15 acre subdivision with a 2bd 1b farm house (including a basement with cold storage pantry), a large two car shop (heated via wood stove), a substantial covered pole shed, chicken coop, and a two story 32’X60’ barn. The farmhouse and outbuildings rest on approximately two acres of lawn with the rest primarily fenced for pasture land, excepting three acres of woods (including saskatoon berry bushes and hazelnut trees!) located behind the farmhouse. The barn was historically a dairy barn, with stalls later built for horses and pigs. The roof is still rock solid and the loft is built on 12 inch centers. It is of historical value to the community (just ask the neighbors!) and has been standing since the 60’s.

Now the hard stuff. The acreage was rented out to a family in 2015 when my family and I moved to the US. With little oversight and the occasional drop-by during the summer months, by the time they left in 2022 they had completely trashed the property. The house, garage, and barn were left in a state of utter disrepair. The barn and wooden livestock pens/fencing had been stripped and burned, the garage had been used as a backyard breeder’s dog pen, and the lovingly restored farmhouse was left in a sorry state.

Fast forward to now. All of the buildings are currently undergoing an overhaul and deep clean. I plan to leave the property spotless, the yard tidy, and everything stripped back to basics so the property can be a perfect jumping off point for someone else. The furnace and hot water boiler will likely need to be replaced. The house was once supplementally heated from the basement with a wood stove but that has also been a casualty of time and circumstance.

There are many roads I am willing to take with the sale of this property. I am asking $100K for the property, but I am most interested in a trade for a cabin/small townhouse/condo of equal value. I would be willing to pay in addition to the trade value of the property (valued at approximately $130K) for an exchange. I am open-minded and my job allows me to travel, so location isn't really an issue. I would love a place in Quebec, Alberta, or on the East Coast. I would consider a truck/trailer combination of equal value. I would be open to a small house in Winnipeg as well.

I am an open-minded and motivated seller, looking for an equally open and receptive buyer. Please get in touch with me with any and all questions/interests you might have. I will consider any realistic offers. I also have many more photos I can share upon request, Qdb.ca only lets me post 10. Text/call & leave a message and I will get back to you.

***Photos will be labeled with the year they were taken so as to be transparent. I am currently in the process of clearing the property so any pictures labeled 2025 are taken in the midst of this project. If you would like additional or more detailed photos of the progress please get in contact with me.
