Quarter Between Turtle Lake Brightsand Lake, Mervin Rm No 499

This land has been in this family homestead since the early1900's! The original homesteader (Hugh Eakin) was granted this land at age 18, however passed away at the young age of 26 , and his brother inherited the land from his estate (see pics of the original owners in the listing). He set up a small log home (see pic showing landmarks), and tried to make a living on the land, hunting and trapping. The location was good as it had a good size water slough on it, plus was only about a 3 mile journey to Turtle Lake to the East, and Brightsand lake to the West,where he could catch fish and the trapping was good. Over the years the land has been passed down through the generations and now the current owner has decided that it could be sold. This quarter section has seen very little in terms of farming or ranching; the owners records showed it was used for hay for a short period in the 50's and 60's; but since it has been a vacant piece of property which the deer, moose and all sorts of wildlife have enjoyed; so you can imagine what this will bring for a new owner. As mentioned, it is only 3 miles from the RM boat Launch at Turtle Lake, and 3 miles west to Brightsand Lake, so the location for a private retreat, or just a piece of property to continue hosting wildlife, is ideal. Come and check out this unique opportunity and make it your own! (id:1945)
