I spent many years dreaming about building a homestead on this property. I think there is a lot of potential for this land in the hands of someone with a permaculture perspective. Unfortunately, personal issues have changed my ability to realize that dream. I'm posting this here in the hopes that maybe I can find a buyer that will take good care of the property.

The property is a 160-acre parcel near Portage la Prairie, MB. It is off the beaten path - no thru traffic. With utility lines a half-mile away, this property is especially suited for anyone who is interested in off-grid living. In non-drought years roughly 25% of the property is marsh. Most of the rest of it is forested (mostly aspen), though there are a couple of clearings. There is a nice little area with few trees that would be a great spot to build a house. There is also 3-strand electric fence around the perimeter except for the wet parts.

Asking $130,000


Please only ask questions if you're seriously interested.


Here are some pictures. I believe they were taken in 2016.

Thanks for your interest. It is no longer available.
 
As if that wasn't enough, a dog then peed on the tiny ad.
