Entwistle T0E 0T0

Eighteen acres, a half mile off pavement, and a four-bedroom home that has just come through a round of updates. This acreage for sale near Evansburg sits in Yellowhead County on the west side of the Pembina River valley, roughly an hour and twenty minutes from Edmonton on Highway 16. It is the kind of property that is getting harder to find at this size, enough land to run horses and store equipment, close enough to a serviced hamlet that you are not driving forty minutes for milk. The parcel is 18.21 acres. The house is a 1,584 square foot two-storey built in 1991 on a full concrete foundation, wood frame with vinyl siding. It reads as a country home rather than a suburban house dropped on a field, which is what most acreage buyers are actually after. The kitchen has been redone with granite countertops. At roughly 14'9" by 15'5" it is a working farm kitchen with room for a table, not a galley you squeeze through. The stainless steel gas range, refrigerator and built-in dishwasher are included. The living space runs approximately 14'9" by 23'0" with an open beam ceiling overhead, the detail that gives this house its character, and a woodstove that will carry the main floor through a cold snap without touching the furnace. Rich hardwood flooring runs through the main living areas. All four bedrooms sit on the upper level, which is the layout most families want: kids and parents on one floor, the main floor left for living. The primary measures about 10'10" by 12'10", with the remaining three bedrooms at roughly 12'10" by 9'10", 11'2" by 9'6" and 12'10" by 6'11". Both bathrooms have been updated a two-piece on the main floor and a four-piece upstairs and fresh paint has been carried through the house, so this is a move in property rather than a project. A cold room in the basement handles preserves and the overflow every acreage generates. There is a large porch for boots and coats, which is non negotiable on a working property, and the full basement is unfinished, leaving room for lots of storage. The wraparound deck was built in approximately 2015 and includes a natural gas barbecue hookup, so no more hauling propane tanks. It wraps 3 sides of the house, meaning you can follow the shade or the sun depending on the hour. Windows and shingles were both replaced since construction. The two line items that most often scare buyers off an older rural home, already handled. Outside is where this property separates itself. A haskap orchard has been planted alongside mature producing fruit trees. Haskap, also sold as honeyberry, is a University of Saskatchewan bred crop hardy well past minus forty, which is why it has taken hold across the Prairies where blueberries will not survive. The bushes stay compact, fruit early in summer, and demand has been climbing through Alberta's u-pick and farmers markets. The planting and the waiting are already done here. Storage and shop space on a rural property costs a fortune to build from scratch, and here it is already standing: a large tarp shed/Quonset, a 12 by 40 machine shed, a second machine shed, a barn, a 12 by 24 shed, a 12 by 16 pump house, and a heated detached garage. RV parking sits alongside. If you have equipment, a trade, or a hobby that takes room, the infrastructure is in place. For animals, the property is already configured two round pens, two corrals, a chicken coup, a barn and partial perimeter fencing. A new owner can move horses in without first spending a season building. At 18.21 acres there is room for a small horse operation, a few head of cattle, or a mixed hobby farm. Confirm stocking rates and permitting with Yellowhead County for your intended use. An artesian well supplies the property and natural gas heats it. Road access is gravel township road, a half mile off pavement. Title is fee simple, with a utility right of way registered. Evansburg is a hamlet of roughly 700 people and the largest in Yellowhead County, supporting a grocery store, restaurants, a bakery and a working small business centre. Schools are close: Evansview School covers kindergarten through grade six and Grand Trunk High School covers grades seven through twelve, both in Evansburg under Grande Yellowhead Public School Division. Pembina River Provincial Park sits between Evansburg and Entwistle along sandstone gorges reaching around sixty metres, with 132 campsites, hiking, fishing and some of the most popular river tubing in the region. Pembina Valley Golf Club, a nine-hole par 35 opened in 1955, is just north of town. Highway 22 meets Highway 16 at Entwistle, opening the run south toward Drayton Valley and north toward Mayerthorpe. For anyone working the industrial corridor west of Edmonton, or rotating out of camp, this is a practical address rather than a remote one. Twenty-four hours' notice is appreciated for showings. Livestock, gates and equipment mean a scheduled visit is the safe way through. Neil Horvath, REALTOR® — Neil Horvath Real Estate Group, RE/MAX Excellence. Call or text 780-908-5630.
