Located 2 miles SW of the new Okotoks limits and bordering #7 highway, this generational farm near the Big Rock Erratic is now available, being purchased from CP Rail in 1905. 144 +/- acres of totally useable land, prime soil & an excellent location for country living close to a major centre. It has hosted many aspects of farming over the past 1¼ centuries, with current income derived from quality hay sales, a 10-acre Colorado Spruce tree nursery with hundreds of mature trees, landscaping quartz rocks from the same erratic movement as Big Rock & sales of much desired aged barn wood. Starter trees are available on site to continue nursery expansion if desired. Multiple opportunities await from small animal husbandry to whatever your dream business might entail.
