Listing Remarks

A rare opportunity to own a thriving, turnkey berry farm and market garden on 48 picturesque acres fronting the Little Thessalon River. This well-established operation has built a loyal following spanning from Sault Ste. Marie to Blind River, Elliot Lake, and Chapleau — customers return year after year for the berries - and the experience.

The bright renovated 1,499 sq. ft. farmhouse offers 4 bedrooms (3 up plus main floor primary) and a 4-piece bath, with newer windows, doors, exterior insulation, siding, and a propane forced-air furnace installed in 2024. Septic was pumped 3–4 years ago, and water comes from a 70' drilled well. A sauna/sugar shack sits just behind the home.

Much of the farm is irrigated and makes up the heart of the operation. Twenty-four acres are systematically tiled, and well-drained thick clay loam soil over a deep sandy lake-bottom base throughout the property create ideal conditions for berry production. Current plantings include 3 acres of raspberries (drip irrigated), 3 acres of blueberries (drip irrigated), and 7.4 acres of strawberries across four fields for continuous, balanced yields.

Irrigation infrastructure is exceptional: a river-fed pump delivers 1,600 gallons per minute through a buried 6" distribution main that runs past the blueberry fields, before tee-ing north and south, with hydrants positioned throughout the farm and above ground sprinkler heads that can cover a 200' radius. Drip systems serve the raspberries, blueberries, and greenhouse.

Outbuildings include a newer 48' x 40' equipment shed (part of which houses a shipping-container cold-box cooler for berry storage), an insulated 26' x 20' farm shop, 16’ x22’ barn, sales booths, and a 29' x 52' greenhouse with drip irrigation. A full line of specialized machinery and implements — including three tractors (the large John Deere with just 2,000+ hours) and all irrigation equipment — is available for an additional $150,000 (detailed list on request).
?Beyond the berries, the property is set up for diversified ag-tourism: sunflower walks, pumpkins, sweet corn, garlic, cut flowers, and greenhouse crops have all drawn seasonal traffic. The Twin Rivers business name, phone number, social media accounts, and the considerable goodwill built over years of consistent success are all included. Follow Twin Rivers Berries on Facebook (facebook.com/twinriversberries) and Instagram to see the operation in action.

A wonderful opportunity offering a great lifestyle alongside generous financial returns. The experience and setting are truly special. Full financials and equipment list available upon request.
