If space is what you’re after, this home delivers in a big way. Located on a quiet road just seven minutes from the Town of Stettler and only a mile off the highway, this mansion-sized acreage offers the perfect setup for a big family, or anyone looking to enjoy the benefits of acreage life, on over 3.5 acres. Inside you’ll find 10 bedrooms, 2 dens, several living spaces, 8 bathrooms, and 3 FULL kitchens, offering a flexible layout to suit a variety of needs. Fitness lovers will appreciate the two dedicated gym areas—one that rivals many commercial setups, and another with hardwood flooring, ideal for pickle-ball, badminton, or active play. The entire home features updated vinyl plank flooring, and the central hub of the home includes a spacious open concept kitchen/dining/living area perfect for cooking, gathering, and everyday living. The home’s potential shines with two beautiful illegal suites:(Illegal meaning they do not have their own legal address and not registered as secondary suites under current municipal regulations) one that can function as either a one or three bedroom unit with its own full kitchen and bath, and a second featuring one bedroom plus a den,(can also become a two bed plus den) along with large and beautiful modern kitchen with all the bells and whistles and two half baths. . These share a laundry area, while the main home benefits from its own separate laundry setup, with a clothes chute! For the hobbyist or DIY enthusiast, the oversized heated double garage includes a clean epoxy floor and is complemented by a separate workshop space with large exterior doors ideal for storage, tools, or projects that need room to spread out. All the major systems have been taken care of, including a newer boiler with multiple heating zones for optimal efficiency and comfort. The entire exterior has been refreshed with new shingles, all new windows (mostly triple pane), and most of the entry doors and garage doors have been replaced as well giving the home a clean, well-maintained appearance inside and out. Whether you’re dreaming of country living with room for everyone, starting a home-based business, or looking for an opportunity to fulfill a dream, this home offers comfort, space, and potential—all in one move-in-ready package.

Byemoor Alberta Information

Byemoor is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within the County of Stettler No. 6.[2] It is located at the intersection of Highway 853 and Highway 589, approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) southeast of Stettler and 80 kilometres (50 mi) northeast of Drumheller. It has an elevation of 845 metres (2,772 ft). Byemoor’s closest neighbour is the hamlet of Endiang, which is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the east. The hamlet is located in Census Division No. 7 and in the federal riding of Crowfoot. Byemoor was built in the early twentieth century along the railroad line, and was so named for the area’s resemblance to a moor in England (Byemoor name originates from “By-the-moor”) In its early years, it was an important centre as it was the main town for a large number of small farms. Crises in agriculture and improvement of transportation to larger centres, however, led to the slow depopulation of the hamlet and area. In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Byemoor had a population of 30 living in 14 of its 19 total private dwellings, a change of -14.3% from its 2016 population of 35.

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.
