    This gorgeous property is a dream...a 1450 sq. ft. raised bungalow on 100+ acres of peaceful treed and pasture land, located just off Hwy. #43 and a little south of Little Smoky. This single family home is move-in ready. The chef’s kitchen stands out as the heart of the home, with a bank of cabinetry wrapped around the cooking space, a 5 burner gas stove for meal prep, a wall oven, a built-in dishwasher and as much cupboard storage space as you’ll ever need. The dining room will hold a large table and chairs and overlooks the green yard and the farmland beyond. Off to the side of this area is the living room with plenty of space for everyone to gather. A collection of tube skylights adds welcome light into this space. The master bedroom is spacious and holds a walk-in closet and a 4 piece ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and a corner tub for soaking and relaxing at the end of the day. A 2nd bedroom and main bathroom completes this main floor. Downstairs, a very large family room adds to the living space for your family. A 4th bedroom and a 3rd bathroom provide a private area for guests or family staying over. The mechanical room holds the side by side washer and dryer as well as the water filtration system. The home also has a built-in vacuum, with all hoses and attachments. A bonus for crafters: Your very own dedicated crafting room is in this area! An underground electrical service goes into the distribution panel in the mechanical room and provides a 100 amp service. There are 2 drilled wells, a septic system and a public utility provides gas and power. Outside of the house, the double attached garage with a concrete slab floor and a gas heater for warmth is a great shop space and inside storage for your vehicles. The yard goes as far as you want it to go, the area around the house and garage is wide open. Besides the house and garage, there is an 8,160 sq. ft. riding arena for horse lovers, with a 2,720 lean-to storage area for large equipment. This structure was built in 2012 with treated wood posts supporting the exterior walls and were driven into a sand floor. The 15’ walls are metal, sheeted with translucent polycarbonate wall panels along the 136’ long walls. The roof is also metal sheeting with translucent polycarbonate ridge capping. It’s a perfect location to ride when the weather is poor and there are outside distractions which are completely eliminated, preventing horses from being startled by dogs, fluttering plastic bags or anything else that might potentially spook them. Indoor arenas also provide superior footing, which helps to decrease the risk of riding injuries. Other features include a dug-out pond, a double front gate, and a second house that's been uninhabited for a number of years. Built in 1960, it is approx. 1,384 sq. ft. and of little value w/o complete renovation and upgrades. This is definitely worth owning. Please make sure you are pre-approved with your lender before viewing. More details

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data

Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.

Key Observations

The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.

Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.

In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.

Regional Analysis

The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.

In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.

Implications for Agriculture

Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.

Conclusion

The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
