Rural Address Chesterfield Rm No 261, SK S0N 1H0

Nestled along the Saskatchewan side of the Red Deer River, just east of Empress, Alberta, this remarkable ranch offers a rare combination of productive agricultural land, extensive river frontage, natural beauty, and significant future development potential.
1,286.23 acres in total, the property consists of 486.23 deeded acres and 800 acres of lease land, creating a contiguous ranch unit well suited for both livestock and mixed agricultural operations.
At the heart of the ranch lies a beautiful stretch of fertile river valley bottom. The deeded lands currently include 65 acres of flood-irrigated ground, with the potential to expand irrigation to 200+ acres under pivot irrigation, subject to obtaining the necessary water licences and completing selective land clearing. The flat, productive valley land offers excellent agricultural capability and represents a tremendous opportunity for increased forage or crop production.
Water resources are a key asset of this property. Two water wells service the ranch, including a newly drilled well with a recommended pumping rate of 15 GPM and a second well at the original yard site with a recommended pumping rate of 3 GPM. In addition, the lease land features a developed spring that flows year-round, providing a dependable source of water for livestock.
The old yard site offers power, an old residence, a classic hip-roof calving barn, corrals, and a small steel quonset. Whether utilized as-is or redeveloped the yard provides a place to calve and handle cattle.
What truly sets this ranch apart is its exceptional natural setting. Boasting approximately one mile of Red Deer River frontage, the property features a stunning mix of open flats, mature shelter, and river valley scenery rarely found in a single package. The combination of productive agricultural land, abundant water, year-round livestock watering, and future irrigation potential creates an opportunity that is both practical and inspiring.
