80 Acres; Nestled in the shadows of the panoramic view of the dramatic Sweet Grass Hills and perfectly situated close to the USA/Canada Coutts Border Crossing. This 80 Acre farm offers the perfect balance between country living and a built-in income stream ready to support your lifestyle.  

Set in amongst a shelter belt of mature hedges and trees you find this peaceful and quiet country property. The  primary residence is a 1400 sq ft +/- bungalow, featuring a wraparound kitchen with an abundance of cupboards & counter space. The attached dining room has lots of natural light. There are 2 bedrooms and a 4-pc bath. The lands are on the local county water co-op and feature a 3500-gallon cistern, guaranteeing a steady supply of high-pressure water.
