Listing Remarks

‘Talking Trees’ is a quarter with a flair that extends well beyond its boundaries. This Texas-sized quarter consists of 162-acres and comes complete with solid rumours of a previous extraterrestrial landing. This Parcel speaks for itself with old-growth aspen and a bit of spruce – all of which speaks to the fertility of the soil. Those who don't listen to the trees may want to check the Canada Land Inventory soil map; the entire quarter is rated as a solid CLI 3 from corner to corner, with most of the land just to the west and north ranked as 4 or 5. The roots of the trees can almost touch the sweet CLI 2 land that is situated just to the southwest of ‘Talking Trees’.
If you are looking to take on a project, this is a quarter that can build you equity while you work towards improvement; the solid foundation and the use of top-quality inputs is a wise place to begin. Farmers know better than anyone that you harvest what you seed, and the cost to clean up poorer land is the same as the cost to bring higher quality land under production. ‘Talking Trees’ offers the new owner that perfect opportunity to get a lot more acres under cultivation in short order and, in the end, own something guaranteed to produce year after year. There is also existing potential for revenue from merchantable timber on the quarter, and the arable acres are currently in hay production. The Parcel has several dugouts and is located a few hundred meters from Leith Creek (also know as the Little Burnt River). Considering the abundant sources, water should never be an issue for your livestock.
With quarters in the next township to the west selling for several times the value of this starting bid, do the math and then call your banker: if your banker is unsure, you may want to suggest that they take a drive and listen to the trees. ‘Talking Trees’ includes an older house and a garage that are awaiting some attention from the new owner.
