Make the "Pioneer Lifestyle" a modern day reality! The gorgeous 622 acre parcel provides the opportunity to ranch in the summer and enjoy the sunny, crisp winters harvesting timber on the neighbouring 1200 hectare woodlot. This ranch sits in a picturesque area known for quality local and European owned ranches and boasts a healthy stand of mature trees, a beautifully clear creek and the sound of birds and nature.

The 100 acres of hay is level and partially fenced and un-irrigated, but when fertilized has produced over 200 large round bales of quality hay. On the ranch property is a cleared building site with driveway and power situated on an elevated, nicely treed area.

The 1200 acre woodlot has been meticulously cared for from the outset with the roads and cut blocks being a testament to the quality of forest management this woodlot forestry has received. Large blocks of mature spruce and fir make up the majority of timber on the lot and are easily accessed by the network of roads with the current annual allowable cut (AAC) being 2200 m3 per year. If maintained properly, woodlots like this create family legacies as they are passed down to future generations to operate and enjoy.

Located only 25 minutes from Prince George you’ll never be without the conveniences of Grocery Stores, Sporting Complexes and entertainment. Prince George also holds a large number of mills for shipment of wood harvested from the property.
