Little Fort Fodder - 575 Acres For Sale - Little Fort, BC Selling Online Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at 9:00am PDT The Price listed is the Starting Bid. See Website for Updates & Details. https://www.clhbid.com/auctions/little-fort-fodder/ The North Thompson River is the largest tributary of the Fraser River and originates from the Thompson Glacier. If your dream includes owning a farm adjoining this iconic British Columbia waterway located just one hour from Kamloops on Highway 5, mark your calendar for the sale of 'Little Fort Fodder' on May 21st. 'Little Fort Fodder' consists of 575 acres, including 275 irrigated acres; the abundance of water comes from the North Thompson River, with the farm bordering the river along its eastern bank. Little Fort is a feel-good, sleepy little community situated just across the river and known for its large Shell gas station. Signs warn truckers not to use exhaust brakes that might wake residents. If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life, ‘Little Fort Fodder’ is that perfect opportunity. The short, half-mile ferry ride east across the river is sure to bring your blood pressure down to the sweet spot upon arrival at the farm. Every successful farm or ranch requires fertile, arable land, in combination with water and appropriate heat units. ‘Little Fort Fodder’ has all these bases covered and includes well-maintained improvements that ensure a profitable operation; this turn-key farm is ready for sale day. Intensive agriculture is made possible by turning on the taps when needed. The 275 irrigated acres are well-drained with soil rich in nutrients and capable of supporting abundant plant growth, which means the new owner will have numerous options for how they would like to move forward. While the ‘Little Fort Fodder’ currently supports a hay operation, it is also perfect for a fruit or vegetable venture supporting the ever-changing Canadian-grown food industry. Farm-to-table goods that are locally grown are not a passing fad; it is our future for sustainable agriculture. The current farm manager advised that this riverfront land has almost zero rocks. There are so few rocks that if the current operators spot a rock when working the land, they stop and remove it. There is absolutely no question that this is the kind of high-quality ground any farmer or rancher can appreciate. Fields are located on both sides of the railroad track and ascend the east side of the mountain. There is an existing water license in place on the farm, and all water is derived from the North Thompson River. The pump house has three-phase power and a 150-horsepower pump with an eight-inch main line. The system consists of underground mainlines into two hayfields, complete with risers provided at intervals and three hose reels. The history of exceptional husbandry of the land and buildings is readily apparent. The neat and tidy yard offers an ideal setup for large tractors and trucks to move safely, and there is a newer water well as well as cell phone service. The yard is well equipped with a 1,400 sq ft home, a 30’ x 60’ heated shop, a 30’ x 96’ post-and-frame shed, and a 30’ x 75’ cold storage shelter for equipment storage. The high bidder will take possession right after the sale and can start haying immediately. 'Little Fort Fodder’ produced over 2,500 large, round bales in 2024, and the land's topography will support two additional windshield pivots if the new owners want to increase productivity. The Little Fort Ferry is situated at the north end of the property and provides three-season access to Highway 5. In the winter, access can be gained through Barrier or Clearwater on the east side of the river. ‘Little Fort Fodder’ is located just far enough off the highway to enjoy a quiet and peaceful setting while still gaining quick access to nearby amenities. For those looking to grow their operations but are limited by approaching city boundaries, such as Surrey or Kelowna, take note of the opportunity to purchase a large tract of land with significantly diminished acquisition costs - all in an area proven to produce from an agricultural perspective. Whether looking to harvest anything from vegetables or blueberries to producing forage, ‘Little Fort Fodder’ is a British Columbia farm worth considering. ‘Little Fort Fodder’ is being offered for sale via online escalating tender by CLHbid.com.
