Located in the heart of agricultural land and recreational opportunities, you will discover ‘The Artland 3’. This rare find is located 40 miles east of Wainwright, Alberta, or 40 miles south of Lloydminster, SK/AB, and mere minutes from the Village of Marsden, Saskatchewan. Big Manitou Lake Regional Park, on Manitou Lake, is situated just a few miles to the east, and Suffern Lake Regional Park offers great fishing only 10 miles to the south. The Bosch family came to the Artland District in 1951 and as time marches on, this rare opportunity is ready for a new owner to discover.
The Hamlet of Artland had its beginning in 1908, with the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Although the Hamlet is gone, the Artland community spirit is still strong, and the history remains.
These three Parcels are being offered for sale by the Bosch family. If you are too busy to read the entire story about this unique land, we recommended just checking out the location. Whether you are looking for your own private retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of town, or room to expand your existing operation, this opportunity is something you must see.
PARCEL 1 consists of 158.6 acres and offers approximately 130 arable acres to utilize and seed to your preference. This quarter was the original homestead of the Bosch family, and two generations were raised here. There is a wind break of mature trees and shrubs around the homestead yard site, as well as some corrals, various out buildings, power, a water well and an older mobile home. The home-quarter sits adjacent to SK GRID Rd # 680. If the new owner is thinking about building their dream home on this location, there will be reliable access for the school bus, or for moving large equipment in and out. There is also flexibility to farm or run your livestock with the perimeter fencing that surrounds the quarter.
PARCEL 2 Is a full 160 acres, with approximately 151 arable acres currently seeded to grass but may hold tremendous potential if converted back to annual cropping. Parcel 2 offers perimeter fencing, with ample water from a small dugout in the NE corner and a slough in the SW corner of the quarter. There is also an oil & gas lease on this property with Surface Lease Revenue currently worth $2,400 per year.
PARCEL 3 is another full quarter that has about 70 acres of meadows that have been seeded to meadow brome grass. This Parcel is beautiful. With rolling hills, bush, trees, and lots of water, it attracts waterfowl and big game alike, including mule and whitetail deer and moose. There may even be a family or two of nature's water engineers (beavers) in the larger pond. Parcel 3 is truly a bird watcher’s and hunter’s paradise. There are a variety of edible berries which contributed to the Bosch family freezer throughout the years. This Parcel also has revenue from two oil & gas well leases, currently generating income of about $4,200 per year. In October 2020, a letter was received stating that the well on LSD 9-24 was to be abandoned. It is in that process now.
These three Parcels offer a little of everything: Surface Lease Revenue, fencing to hold livestock, natural wind breaks, water, wide-open spaces to pull in the seed drills and combines and good access to markets.
Whether you’re looking for a hunting property, a private summer retreat, an expansion to your existing operation or the perfect spot to settle into your forever home, this rare opportunity fits the bill to create plenty of memories with your children, grandchildren, friends, and family. If you are looking to diversify and invest in farmland, why not invest in farmland that is situated to appreciate exponentially?
