Located just a couple of minutes away from all the fabulous amenities this beautiful town has to offer, as well as the US border!… yet remaining completely rural and in an inviting, family friendly neighbourhood, is this fantastic hobby farm to call your own!
Situated on its own little plateau, this picturesque and completely useable acreage boasts affordable property taxes as well as unmetered domestic water and irrigation through Covert Irrigation, and with Telus fibre optic internet available, you can even work from home!
The property is also far removed from any worries of flood plains which can be an issue for so many farming properties in the region.

This completely level property is very private, gated, and is fully fenced and cross fenced for your pets and livestock, and has plenty of space leftover to let your imagination do its best;
With irrigation in place, keep the current cross fenced pastures for your horses and there is still room to create an INCOME GENERATING 2+ acre market garden, additional pasture for your animals, a cross country course, a productive, high yielding hayfield, an outdoor or indoor arena, or even a spectacular new secondary or even primary view home? The choices are yours and there are endless opportunities!
