Total land size in acres
22 Ac total
Wooded Area
Yes - Scrub land suitable, at present, for a large hydroponic operation; most of the trees will not interfere with the growing area.
Cultivable Area
About 10 or 12 for grow site, must be (eventually) large commercial indoor grow factory.
Expansion potential (acres)
Yes - I offer lease to buy, virtually zero $ upfront, portion of taxes for ongoing costs, eventual buyout with huge $$ dicsount.
Current use
- Not used for agriculture -
State of the surface of the cultivable area
Lowland, wet in spots, from time to time, believe the 5-spring-fed pond water is backing up onto the low surfaces, but that can be managed in the not-to-distant future, and will not impede present day operations.
Description and historical use of land available for farming
This land was an unsuccessful, unproductive farm.
The farmer(s) will have their chance to decide how they want to start operations, but must have in mind a final destination of having a large hydroponic (or other) vertical grow operation. The land, itself, is not fertile enough to be a viable site for commercial vegetable farming.
Road Access
Yes - On a paved road, very close to county highway, 3 miles from interprovincial highway 401
Electricity
Yes - All services available, but a commercial growing operation should also have large solar installion.
Cell Service
Yes - Good area
Long-term goal or vision for land
Large commercial vertical plant grow factory.
Known environmental hazards (wildfire area, flooding, etc.)
Yes - Lowland, but grading for surface water control is planned.
Current residents living on property
Yes - My retirement residence will be completed in 2023.
Availability of farm buildings
No - None at present.
Land is fenced
Yes - fenced on 3 sides, some fencing in need of rehab, but not necessary for my intended use.
Availability of farm machinery and tools
No
Water rights to these sources
Yes - Spring-fed pond on the land.
On-site housing
No - My retirement home is there, buyout will be part of lease option
Restricted access of visitors

Would you be willing to mentor or advise the entering farmer(s)?
