When you conjure up images of paradise, envision ‘Gibbs Finest’. Offering stunning views punctuated by peace and solitude, with a combined total of 315 acres, these two Parcels are located just minutes away from the town of Mayerthorpe, Alberta. ‘Gibbs Finest’ are those rare Parcels of land that are now available for the next generation.
Whether you are looking to expand your existing land base or looking to kickstart your first agricultural operation, ‘Gibbs Finest’ is situated in an agronomic area known for exceptional big game hunting and would make a perfect weekend getaway for the avid outdoorsmen; Hog Wild Specialities is located a mile away and offers boar hunting packages. ‘Gibbs Finest’ has significant infrastructure in place ready to support an entrepreneur looking for a place to start up their business venture, as well as a family looking to establish roots in a rural community with all necessary amenities.
Ideally located less than 9 miles west of Mayerthorpe, 16 miles SE of Whitecourt (as the crow flies) and a quick 5-minute drive from the Anselmo Hall, ‘Gibbs Finest’ offers a quiet and exclusive retreat away from the hectic pace of the city. The Cowboy Trail (Hwy 22) is located due east of the property and the entire area surrounding these two incredible Parcels is known for incredible recreational opportunities as well as agricultural prowess. The Parcels are currently in a mix of hay, pasture, and mature timber, including spruce, aspen and pine.
Parcel 1 consists of 158 acres and boasts a mature yard site. There is an existing home that was built in 1982 and has benefited from additions and upgrades over the years (including replacing all copper plumbing to PEX in 2021 along with replacing the furnace, hot water tank, pressure tank and sewer system). The home is approximately 3,000 square feet spread out over a 3-level split and includes 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. There is a large 32’ x 48’ shop that was built in 2006, with 220V power, radiant heat, and a cement floor as well as a cement pad outside of shop.
‘Gibbs Finest” is a very well-maintained piece of property. Parcel 1 has approximately 50 acres in hay, while the remaining acres are a mixture of pasture and mature trees. The perimeter is fully fenced and there is a sizeable dugout with plenty of water for watering stock. Parcel 1’s starting bid is set well below its appraised value.
Parcel 2 consists of 157 mostly open acres, with approximately 125 acres seeded to hay; the remaining acres consist of patches of bush and pasture, as well as water drainage. There is a pond on Parcel 2 that is ideal for watering the livestock of your choice, and there is full perimeter fencing with 3 different access approaches.
‘Gibbs Finest’ has been in the same family for almost 45 years and whether you are a farmer, rancher, or outdoorsman, the opportunity to purchase land of this calibre does not come around every day. Look no further than ‘Gibbs Finest’ to get your hands on the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to own this peaceful wildlife sanctuary that offers an abundance of grass for the livestock of your choice. The new owner may even want to investigate subdividing the quarter into acreage packages to help offset the purchase price.
