The property to the immediate east was recently survey, so the two common corner posts (the northwest corner and the southwest corner) are marked with a metal post and flagging tape so it will be easy to find those two corners.

Once you have the one corner then measure the frontage to get to the other corner.

There used to be an old homestead here at one time but over the years the old buildings were torn down and removed.

The original driveway entrance has long been gone so a new one would have to be installed by the new owner.

From the aerial photos we can see where the old hay fields were on the front half of the property.

The front half is higher than the rear half of the property.

The rear half appears to be wet at certain times of the year.

The rear half would be good to run some cattle or sheep on.

The big game would tend to remain in the lower half of the property because it is wetter at times.

The Cochrane area is a nice area to live in.

The people are friendly.

Everything is close by.
