General Description:
This spectacular piece of land can serve as your recreational retreat, permanent home, income producing organic farm or all three! As you cross the bridge which accesses the farm, tranquility sweeps over you. 

The 113 acres includes about a mile of river frontage on the main Kettle River; the property is fenced and cross-fenced & there is power & phone; 40 acres of arable bottomland previously certified organic; has had no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides applied in at least 16 years; because of this the farm could be certified organic again without much waiting period; the land is protected by a conservation covenant which prohibits chemical horticultural techniques, logging and disturbance of the riparian zones; potential owners must express a willingness to embrace this. There is a ground spring which feeds a wetlands/pond providing tremendous potential for a fresh water fish farm combined with horticulture. From the arable bottomland the terrain steps up about 30 feet to an extensive bench interspersed with trees and clearings. This bench is not in the ALR, is where the buildings are, and it affords several building sites for homes or farm buildings. About 6 acres of this bench is included with Option (A). The land rises up from this to a forested South/West slope. The woodland is diverse with various conifers and deciduous trees and in the ascension up the mountainside there are many natural level clearings, furnishing building spots and spectacular views. Access to the farm is by a government owned and maintained bridge which dead-ends on the property. There are virtually no zoning restrictions so the development of unique business ideas is quite open, especially for retreats or wilderness recreation.

The total farm is 113 acres in size with a mile of river frontage. The owners have a permit to subdivide, creating 2 lots only. If the entire acreage does not sell, they plan to retain a small portion of the land for their residence. The 85 acres proposed is a suggested size for the large lot but the owners are open to proposals and the permit is flexible. The permit will not be acted on unless purchasers wish to.

NOTE: We have reduced our price from $850,000.00 to try to close a deal over winter/spring. If we have not sold by summer we may raise the price again. Some adjacent bare land acreage without waterfront is listed at $16,000.00 per acre. 

Please also note that conserving the natural features of this property is important to the seller. He is willing to make alterations to the Conservation Covenant registered on title specifically suitable to the new owner but will not sell to anyone not willing to make a commitment to continue to preserve the forest, the river bank habitat and to refrain from the use of chemical farming practices. If prospective buyers do not support this concept please do not make an appointment to view the property."
