Description
It is with great pleasure we introduce this stunning ranch, located just a 15 minutes’ drive from the “Northern Capital of BC,” Prince George.
This spectacular farm presents a new owner a very rare opportunity to experience all the joys of rural life, while still being within close proximity to urban amenities and a city center. The current owners have poured their hearts and souls into the farm, and it certainly shows. The 445 total acres, of which roughly 250 acres is in production, is as picturesque as it is functional and is perfectly set up for cattle.
As you travel up the driveway to the farmyard, the trees that surround you will provide a sense of security and calm. A feeling of relaxation will wash over you as you enter onto the farmyard and are met with all the peaceful sights, smells and sounds of an operating family farm. The residence in front of you sits perched atop the property, with views out over the surrounding hay fields and barns. Totaling 3,545 square feet and offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it is the perfect size for a family or for anyone looking to enjoy all it has to offer. The layout optimizes space and is perfect for entertaining family and friends.
Stepping out onto the farmyard, you immediately come across the familiar sites of barns and pens, where a wide array of animals can be held. A chicken coop, with its cawing roosters and clucking hens, will be your first stop, followed by numerous shelters and storage buildings for animals, equipment and supplies. There is no shortage of structures perfectly situated to ensure your tasks can be completed in a timely manner. The entire property is fenced and cross fenced, with good quality fencing ensuring no issues with escaping cows. In previous years, the ranch has sustained up to 220 cattle.
The land is fertile and can produce 500 x 1,200 lbs. bales, and in 2020 the owners were able to pull off 675 silage bales from just 50 acres. If you are not keen to farm the land, there is an endless supply of eager farmers in the region who will sign a crop share agreement which ensures your land is managed and maintained in a good workmanlike manner.
It is time to escape the city and enjoy life the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Peace, calm and quiet seem to be in short supply these days, however, on this stunning ranch it is abundant.
