‘Small Town Charm’ is made up of 249 acres and is located less than 4 miles south of the Town of Bonnyville, Alberta. Situated just north of Muriel Lake, ‘Small Town Charm’ enjoys the best of rural living, yet with pavement to the doorstep and located mere minutes south of Bonnyville. Bonnyville has a population of 6,675 people and provides all the amenities that are common to a large urban centre.
Parcel 1 is the home quarter and consists of 159 acres in total, of which approximately 75 acres are arable. Currently in hay, the land has been cropped in the past. A quick check of the Canada Land Inventory soil map will show interested parties that the soil is some of the better-rated in the Township. The family homesteaded this land in 1927 and can confirm that chemicals have never been used in their history, which may open up new cropping options for the new owner.
Parcel 1 boasts a 1944 vintage, detached, 1 ¾ storey home with 1,608 sqft, featuring tasteful renovations completed within the last 5 years. With 968 sqft on the main level and 640 sqft on the 2nd level, details include 5-bedrooms and a four-piece bath. A new roof was installed 3 years ago, along with an 8-year-old natural gas furnace, a covered deck, and an undeveloped basement. The yard also includes:
• A large steel shop (1980) – 48’x72’, machine shed, storage building with power
• Telephone, power, and natural gas serviced
• 3 bored wells for servicing the Orchard, and one drilled well and septic system for the house
• An established fruit orchard
The wooded acres on the east side of the Parcel include mature pine and more acres could be broken and brought under cultivation, given the quality of the land. Interested buyers may want to investigate possibility of merchantable timber on Parcel 1, and there is also a significant amount of perimeter fencing in place. This Parcel checks all the boxes, including serenity, with the southern portion sloping gently down to a small lake.
Parcel 2 offers a recreational twist with picturesque views of the lake from all quadrants. Parcel 2 comes with two titles, namely one title to the 70 acres on the south and a separate title to the two x 10-acre parcels in the NW and NE corners of the quarter. The land has access to power and gas; however, it is not currently serviced. Parcel 2 is presently fenced on three sides and offers approximately 35 arable acres.
