Sale Description

Tucked in at the base of the Sweet Grass Hills in Southern Alberta, this is truly an outstanding piece of Western Canadian landscape being offered for sale.  Whether you’re looking to expand your grain farming operation next to the U.S.A border, east of Coutts, or perhaps dream of owning that ranch on the Canadian side of 6,983’ picturesque West Butte, Montana, this property is a must see.   Established over a century ago by the Bianchi family, this farm sits quietly in the shadows of the Sweet Grass Hills.  In total there are 12 quarters of land, 9 of which are deeded, with the remaining 3 quarters Grazing Lease.  If you’re looking for that elusive, prolonged season, fertile grassland upon which to run your herd, the Shadows of the Sweet Grass Hills offers infinite potential.  Majestic white tail deer are provided free of charge.

The home quarter, being Parcel 1, is situated 25 miles east of Coutts and only 1.5 miles north of the 49th Parallel, and includes an older 1600 sq./ft. residence.  The home quarter has gas, power and an excellent water well.   The handling system is older but in good shape.  Parcel 1 is made up of 80 cultivated acres along with 80 acres of pasture and yard.  Additional acres could be brought under cultivation on the home quarter.  In total 6 quarter sections in one block make up the home base of the farm.  Whether producing grain or bulk silage, Parcel 2 west of the home quarter is a power house.  In total 146 acres under cultivation.  A water well located high on LSD 9, has the ability to produce in excess of 30 gallons a minute and gravity feed the lower land to the east.  Parcel 2 is the only parcel out of the 12 quarters without 4 wire perimeter fencing on all sides.  All fences have been well maintained. 

Parcel 3, laying east of the home quarter, is one of the true gems of the farm itself.   This quarter has significant Surface Lease Revenue.  In total 155 cultivated acres without sloughs or waste land.  To the north of Parcel 1 & 3 is Parcel 9 which is a half section Grazing Lease.  Parcel 9a on the west has a dugout for watering, while Parcel 9b to the east offers Surface Lease Revenue.  Parcel 9a and 9b will be sold as one Parcel.  Parcel 4 adjoins the home quarter to the south and is wide open corner to corner with 160 acres under cultivation. 

Taking a short trip down Secondary Highway 500 west of the home base and you come to Parcel 5 and 6.  Parcel 5 has a reservoir in the creek offering opportunities for winter grazing.  The reservoir also provides the crossing to the east side of Parcel 5.  Parcel 6 has springs at the base of the coulee, offering watering for livestock.  In total Parcel 5 & 6 have 228 cultivated acres. Only one half mile west of Parcel 6, you find the westerly 4 quarters making up the balance of the farm.  Parcel 7a and 7b will be sold as one parcel.  In total Parcel 7 is 208 cultivated acres.  Parcel 7b has a water well on the floor of the coulee which, until recently, was powered by windmill.  Parcel 8a, to the north of Parcel 7, has 120 acres under cultivation.  Parcel 8b is a Grazing Lease to the north of Parcel 8a.  Parcel 8a and 8b will be sold as one parcel.  At the conclusion of the auction all 9 parcels making up Shadows of the Sweet Grass Hills will be offered for sale en bloc to prior high bidders of 4 Parcels or more (see En bloc details and how to qualify below).
