Shaftesbury Escape - 157 Acres For Sale - Peace River, AB Selling Online September 29, 2026 at 9:00am MDT The Price listed is the Starting Bid. See Website for Updates & Details. Imagine owning 157 acres of untouched land, where nature remains unscathed and the beauty of the wilderness surrounds you in every direction. ‘Shaftesbury Escape’ features a quarter mile of riverbank frontage on the mighty Peace River and is located just south of the Shaftesbury Settlement, where the Smoky and Peace Rivers converge. With the lower portion hayed and the remainder of the quarter covered in virgin forest, the landscape offers breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and the rare opportunity to experience Alberta's natural beauty in its purest form. Perfectly situated, the property is located north of the Shaftesbury Ferry. One of only seven free-floating ferries in the province of Alberta, this unique ferry brings more than just transportation to the region. The town of Peace River is situated just six miles to the north as the crow flies, providing convenient access to amenities without sacrificing privacy. Whether you are seeking a recreational retreat or a place to reconnect with nature, this is an excellent quarter for hunting, camping, or looking for a quiet escape from the bustle of the city. Should you wish to simply relax, the peaceful setting and expansive wilderness make it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to unwind. The point between the two rivers is known to be a fantastic adventure and recreation area, already well used by ATVs, side-by-sides, and other recreational vehicles. While the most notable feature may be the direct access to the banks of the Peace River, the flat riverfront area could offer the incredible possibility of putting on the tundra tires and landing an airplane right on the flat of the river bank. Although there are currently no services in place, imagination is the only restriction to future possibilities: from an off-grid cabin or unique Airbnb experience to a market garden or private recreational retreat, ‘Shaftesbury Escape’ offers boundless opportunities. ‘Shaftesbury Escape’ is situated approximately two miles from Fort Fork. This historic landmark is where Alexander Mackenzie spent the winter of 1791 before his expedition to Bella Coola, British Columbia, documenting the first European sighting of the Pacific Ocean from the interior of North America, a full twelve years before Lewis and Clark. For those who love life on the water, ‘Shaftesbury Escape’ offers an exceptional opportunity to launch your riverboat from the flats of your own private paradise and explore the legendary Peace River at your leisure. Take in the Smoky River Jet Boat Races from your front row viewing location or search for prehistoric Plesiosaur fossils along your private riverbank. From fishing and boating to wildlife viewing and relaxing in the quiet shade of the trees, every day offers a new adventure. Combining unmatched natural beauty, prime river access, and a private location, this quarter offers a rare chance to own a truly spectacular piece of Alberta's wilderness. ‘Shaftesbury Escape’ is being offered for sale via online escalating tender by CLHbid.com.
