Description
My husband, son, mother in law and myself are located on 9 acres in Red Deer County, with access to 100 acres of trees on the neighboring property . We have 2 horses, 2 dogs , 12 chickens, and take care of the neighbour's 3 cats. We are in the process of developing our new 9 acres and have a lot of landscaping and fences to build. Our wonderful part of the world is blessed with an abundance of lakes, rivers, streams and the mountains are not far away either. Some have said it looks like we live in a provincial park :-) A short drive away allows use to view Alberta's wild horses which you don't find in other parts of the province.
We love evening campfires, and roasting hotdogs as well as playing games at the kitchen table.
The great outdoors is our backyard so we enjoy using it for hiking, biking, walking with the dogs and for winter sports like snowshoeing and cross country skiing. We can always use lots of help in the yard, new gardens and around the house.
