    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

Valleyview Alberta Information

Valleyview is a town in northwest Alberta, Canada. It is surrounded by the Municipal District of Greenview No. 16 and in Census Division No. 18. It is at the junction of Highway 43 and Highway 49, between the Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake. Its position, in the junction of the two highways into the Peace Region, has led to the town motto, “Portal to the Peace”. The area around Valleyview has been inhabited by indigenous peoples for thousands of years due to the area’s rich hunting and fishing grounds. The local Cree population has lived in the region since at least the 18th century. In the early 1800s the first visitors to the area arrived, seeking natives to exchange goods for furs. The trading was good and a Hudson’s Bay Company post was established on Sturgeon Lake in 1877.[6] Peace River Jim’ Cornwall established the Bredin and Cornwall Trading Post nearby. The area was surveyed in 1900 for a possible settlement, but little developed of it. The following year the area was surveyed again by Fred Young who was particularly impressed with a piece of land on the northwest shore of Sturgeon Lake. By 1916 the first pioneers settled in the area nearby as its soil was rich for farming. The community that formed to serve the growing population was initially named Red Willow Creek. Only when the first post office was opened in 1929 did the community change its name to Valleyview.[7] In late 1950 oil was discovered near the hamlet. The Whitecourt Cutoff project was completed in 1955, significantly reducing the travel time between the Peace Country and Edmonton. In 2020 the Town of Valleyview and Chamber of Commerce renamed a stretch of the highway to recognize the 65th anniversary of the cutoff’s completion.[8][9] By the late fifties Valleyview had firmly achieved boomtown status having been incorporated as a village in 1954 and then a town only three years later in 1957.[10] The town is located in the southern Peace Region between the Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake. As noted by its name, the town is elevated and overlooks the surrounding valleys. Sturgeon Lake is located approximately 15 km west of the town and is home to Young’s Point Provincial Park, a popular provincial park in the area. Residing next to the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation reservation #154, within the land of treaty 8. Valleyview lies on the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin known for some of the largest coal and oil deposits in the world and the Duvernay Formation a rich source of natural gas and oil. The town is also located in an active geothermal area.[11] Valleyview experiences a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb). Summers are warm with cool nights. Winters are long and severely cold.

With a land area of 9.17 km2 (3.54 sq mi), it had a population density of 182.4/km2 (472.5/sq mi) in 2021.[3] In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Valleyview recorded a population of 1,863 living in 747 of its 833 total private dwellings, a 5.8% change from its 2011 population of 1,761. With a land area of 9.32 km2 (3.60 sq mi), it had a population density of 199.9/km2 (517.7/sq mi) in 2016.[20] The Town of Valleyview’s 2013 municipal census counted a population of 1,972,[21] a 4.7% change from its 2007 municipal census population of 1,884.[22] Valleyview Town Council consists of a mayor and six councillors. The entire council was acclaimed in the last municipal election. Vern Lymburner, the current mayor, has served the town for over a decade including terms as councillor.[23] The town’s Chief Administrative Officer is Ben Berlinguette.[24] Valleyview is part of the Central Peace-Notley provincial electoral district. The riding was first contested in 2019; previously, Valleyview was in the Grande Prairie-Smoky riding. Central Peace-Notley is represented by MLA Todd Loewen, who was elected as a member of the United Conservative Party in 2019. Loewen now sits as an independent MLA.[27] Valleyview is part of the Peace River federal electoral district, and is represented by MP Chris Warkentin. In the next federal election, Valleyview will become part of the newly created riding of Peace River—Westlock.[28] Valleyview’s economy is primarily resource driven with oil and gas being the predominant industry. Multiple oil and gas companies operate in the area with several pipelines in the vicinity. Tervita began in Valleyview as Concord Well Servicing in 1979, founded by David Werklund and Gordon Vivian, and still has operations in the area.[29] Pembina Pipeline has an office in Valleyview and operates a terminal facility south of town along with managing other assets in the area.[30] The industry also supports a variety of well service companies and related businesses. The travel industry is also a major component in Valleyview. Situated along the CANAMEX Corridor and at the junction of two major highways, a service corridor has developed to cater to the needs of travelers. Hotels/motels, gas/service stations and fast food establishments have been built adjacent to the portions of Highway 43 and Highway 49 that pass through town. This section is called Crocus Hill Gasoline Alley.[9] Another notable employer in Valleyview is the Municipal District of Greenview, which has its main administrative office and several departments situated within town limits. The town is also a regional hub for medical services.

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.
