What an opportunity! Huge price reduction. Located just 2 miles SW of the new Okotoks town limits and bordering #7 highway, this generational farm near the Big Rock Erratic is on the open market for the first time since 1905. Originally purchased from Canadian Pacific Railway – 148 +/-acres (Original quarter less 5.8 for subdivision + roadway allowances) the pride, care and love of the land through the generations is displayed. While it has hosted many aspects of farming, income is currently derived from hay sales, a tree nursery with hundreds of site grown mature Colorado Spruce trees, landscaping quartz rocks from the same erratic movement that brought Big Rock Erratic to the area and sales of aged barn type wood.
