'First Class' is a premium assemblage of contiguous farmland in an agricultural region of Saskatchewan that is known to produce. This spectacular farm is situated in the northern half of the Regina Plain, a prolific area at the top of Springbrook Creek, and as the locals know, this is an incredibly desirable area to farm.
With a total of 2,290 acres, and more than 1,900 arable acres, ‘First Class’ offers 90,000 bushels of grain storage. The northern boundary abuts the Trans-Canada Highway, and Highway 35 provides pavement access along the western perimeter of the farm. The major railroad and Grain Elevator at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, provides easy access to markets.
Parcel 2 offers 90,000 bushels of grain storage, and with the Trans-Canada Highway forming the northern perimeter of Parcel 2, road bans will be of minimal concern. From a logistical perspective, Parcel 2 is ideally set-up to benefit from today’s modern farming practices. As most producers would agree, the days of setting up major grain handling facilities and equipment storage buildings in the same yard as the owner's family home are a thing of the past. As mentioned, Parcel 2 boasts 90,000 bushels of hopper storage, 8 Twister 10,000-bushel hopper bins with 7.5 horsepower single phase aeration fans, providing quick access for the grain cart in the fall. Parcel 2 also boasts recent upgrades to the electrical service, and a yard large enough for today's equipment to move and store commodities safely.
As 100-foot air drills with 1,300-bushel tanks become the norm, room for the equipment and year-round access with a Super-B is a must. The firm, graveled yard is turn-key and provides a distinct advantage for the new owners. With the price tag on a new combine measuring close to one million dollars, it is prudent to have machine sheds that can handle today's sizable equipment; the Goodon Industries 60 X 120-foot pole building, with a 50-foot bifold door in place, provides the perfect solution.
Parcel 12 provides an exceptional option for those looking for a yard site with a home. The high bidder of Parcel 12 will receive the option to purchase the proposed 10-acre acreage, complete with a 1.5 story home that was built in 2021, for $360,000. With tasteful finishes and services in place, the acreage provides an excellent option to settle in and put down some roots. Ideally located on Highway 35, this Parcel offers pavement access from the driveway all the way to the Trans-Canada.
Whether looking to add more acres to an existing operation or to get started with a turn-key assemblage, ‘First Class’ fits the bill. This block of land proffers the perfect opportunity for farmers looking to expand their existing operations but lacking the necessary room for expansion. For those in markets such as southern Ontario, where $20,000/acre may be hard to justify and possibly out of reach, take note of the quick 40-minute drive to the Regina Airport. With a proven track record of producing, managing this first-class farm from afar makes perfect sense.
The area around Indian Head/Qu’Appelle is known for big agriculture and producing huge crops. It is clear why this region was one of the earliest areas settled in Saskatchewan. Paraphrasing for one of the locals, there has not been an early frost in this locale for over thirty years. You can never go wrong when purchasing good quality land, and opportunities like ‘First Class’ come along once in a lifetime.
For those buyers worried about getting the entire block, please reach out to the CLHbid.com team to discuss the en bloc option. This ‘First Class’ signature farm will be the highlight of the Western Canadian fall market for 2023.
