Nestled in a quiet, treed valley along the Carrot River is a beautiful riverside forested acreage. Private, peaceful, and surrounded by mature bush and abundant wildlife, this is a place where time unfolds in seasons, not minutes. The heart of this glorious 12-acre acreage is a beautiful, story-and-a-half original farmhouse. Built with local dimensional fir lumber by Swedish carpenters, the home serves as a comforting sanctuary amid the wild fringes of the Boreal Forest. Small yet highly efficient, the residence is practical, cozy, and filled with natural light - offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploring your private landscape. The home provides 1,162 square feet of comfortable, functional living space, featuring two bedrooms on the upper level and a spacious bedroom on the main floor complete with a convenient walk-in closet. The layout is rounded out by one full bathroom, an unfinished basement, a reliable natural gas furnace, underground power line, ground-level washer/dryer, and a simple, well-maintained hauled water system. The property is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring extensive, well-maintained infrastructure designed to support a self-sufficient lifestyle. From the two-car garage and the massive barn to versatile grain-bin storage, and a fully equipped chicken coop, every element is ready for your projects or passions. With established walking trails, a fenced animal yard, and multiple fire-pit areas scattered throughout, this acreage offers a seamless blend of wild adventure and rustic convenience. While you are tucked away in a world of your own, you remain comfortably close to the essential services and community hubs of Nipawin, Melfort, and Tisdale.With all the necessary equipment—including the tractor, mower, garden tools, and outdoor furniture—already in place, you are free to step immediately into the rhythm of the valley, leaving the work behind to focus entirely on the quiet, wild beauty of your new property.

Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
