Long-term goal or vision for land
My long-term vision for the property was to have a permanent home for the older and younger generations of my intimidate family with a hobby farm for us to all help with. This plan has been altered with the changes brought in by Bill 52. As I was not prepared to take on the work load of a revenue earning farm practice right now, I'm am looking at leasing options to ensure the land can be worked. I am open to investing in the infrastructure development (fencing, barns, irrigation...etc) for the right match and would prefer a long term lease agreement.
There is also the potential for residential use, should flexibility in legislation be met.
