***Sellers will install a NEW Pivot, prior to possession, for an adjusted price.*** If you’re looking to expand your existing farming operation or start a new agricultural venture, this exceptional 173.86-acre farm in Hays, Alberta offers an outstanding opportunity. Located in a welcoming small-town community with a great school, the property borders Crown Land and is just minutes from the Bow River.
The farm features 128.66 irrigated acres with a pressure-fed irrigation system that keeps annual electricity costs extremely low. Currently seeded to oats and hay, the land is well suited for producing your own feed and supporting a productive mixed farming operation.
An added advantage is the opportunity to apply to the Hays Grazing Association for the 2027 grazing season. The current allotment accommodates 85 cow/calf pairs or 109 yearling breeding heifers and includes access to an established breeding program, eliminating the expense of owning and maintaining bulls. With approximately 150 days of grazing, this allotment can significantly reduce grazing and breeding costs while enhancing the profitability of a cattle operation.
Designed with livestock producers in mind, the property includes 45 acres of pasture, while the remaining 128.66 acres are fenced and cross-fenced, making it well suited for rotational grazing. The property also features three dugouts, including one that services the home and yard. Yard irrigation operates entirely on pressure for added convenience and efficiency.
The comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on a spacious 4-acre yard, perfect for families. Recent updates include a tin roof and furnace (2021), plus central air, central vacuum, and a Homes Eco-Water treatment system with reverse osmosis drinking water.
A well-equipped 40’ x 60’ shop offers excellent space for equipment, storage, and maintenance, featuring a commercial wood-burning furnace capable of heating the entire building, plus in-floor heat in the workshop area.
The barn includes two double tie stalls, two box stalls, a tack room, and a tack-up area. The corrals feature a combination of light panels, heavy-duty panels, and windbreaks, allowing them to be easily reconfigured to suit your operation.
