The land is perimeter fenced and some 4-wire cross fencing to support efficient livestock management. The livestock handling facilities feature durable steel panel corrals, a classic hip-roof barn with six stalls providing both functionality and authentic ranch character and a heated 2 car garage. Water is one of the ranchs greatest assets, with seven active natural springs providing an abundant water source for both livestock and domestic use while enhancing the beauty and sustainability of the property and a new Septic tank and Field installed in 2019. Wildlife is abundant throughout the ranch with deer, elk, and moose which are frequently seen, as the rolling hills, native pasture, numerous springs, extensive Red Deer River frontage, and picturesque river valley views combine to create a landscape that is truly breathtaking and productive.
