Early eastern European settlers recognized good land from their home country and sought the same in the Lamont area. Located in the St. Michael's area within Lamont County, this assemblage is sure to be one of the showcase packages of prime farmland offered for sale in east-central Alberta in 2025. ‘Lamont Top Grade’ is being sold as 11 Parcels, with 19 titles in total.
