Furthermore, the existing infrastructure would support any entrepreneur looking to develop their own business; this piece of paradise truly offers it all.
‘Pembina Paradise’ offers a quiet and exclusive retreat with spectacular views of the Pembina River Valley. It is ideally located one and a half miles south of the Yellowhead Highway, allowing for easy access to larger urban centres. A mere 5 minutes from the towns of Evansburg and Entwistle, travel less than 45 minutes from ‘Pembina Paradise’ and find yourself in Drayton Valley, Stony Plain or Mayerthorpe. The popular recreation community of Seba Beach on Wabamun Lake is only 20 minutes to the east. Home to the Edmonton Yacht Club, Wabamun is well known for its incredible camping, fishing, boating and other outdoor activities. The Pembina River Provincial Park, developed along the gorges of the Pembina River, is just minutes away and is also extremely popular for birding, camping, fishing and canoeing.
‘Pembina Paradise’ is equipped with perimeter fencing that has allowed the current owner to rent out the pasture for 30 cow/calf pairs throughout the summer grazing months for the past 12 years; this revenue stream could continue for the new owner as well. With two water wells and one natural spring that runs year-round, ‘Pembina Paradise’ also boasts power, gas, a double car garage with a tin roof, two 12’x 16’ wooden shops with tin roofs and built on skids, allowing the new owner the ability to move them to a preferred location. There is also a 20’ x 30’ horse barn with a tin roof that is set up with four tie stalls, one box stall, and a 10' alley, plus an immaculate mobile home that was purchased new in 1997. The options for this piece of paradise are endless.
Whether you are a farmer, rancher or outdoorsman, look no further than ‘Pembina Paradise’ to get your hands on the opportunity of a lifetime: your chance to own this quiet and peaceful wildlife sanctuary with its abundance of grass that can be used for livestock of your choice. The new owner may even want to investigate subdividing the quarter into acreage packages to help offset the purchase price.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are existing auction platforms out there such as the ‘Iowa Auction’ that stop bidding after all individual parcels have received high bids. Then for round #2 of the auction they allow past as well as new bidders to ‘up the ante’ by bidding on the entire farm or ranch with a reserve bid set at the aggregate price just bid on all individual parcels in round #1.
After seeking input from many farmers and ranchers, most told us they didn’t feel a platform such as this was fair to bidders on individual parcels who in many cases have went to a lot of work to get pre-approved for financing etc. Farmers and ranchers also indicated they didn’t think it is fair for a large player to ‘lay in the weeds’ and not bid until after the initial round of bidding. They also told us that it would not be fair to allow a larger player to acquire the entire farm or ranch for only a few dollars more than the aggregate of the prior individual bids. Hence the rationale for the ‘premium bid’ amount for the ‘en bloc’ parcel at the conclusion of the auction.
At CLHbid.com, you as bidder only need to be high on a certain number (generally less than 50%) of parcels in order to have a chance to acquire the entire farm or ranch, whereas at national Auction firms you generally have to be high on 100% of the parcels in order acquire the entire ranch or farm.
Bidders have no knowledge of the identity of other bidders. Likewise, the Seller during the sale is not privy to who may be bidding or how many parcels someone may be ‘high on’. At CLHbid.com we set out to create a platform for the selling or leasing of agricultural land that was honest, fully transparent and offered no opportunity for bids to be shopped by the Seller. This is especially important wherein the Seller has final approval.
At CLHbid.com we have put safeguards in place in our CLHbid.com contract with our Seller to ensure the Seller deals only with the high bidder at the conclusion of bidding. During the timed auction itself, all back-end information is locked down including who is bidding or who is registered to bid. At the conclusion of the bidding, the Seller is privy only to the name of the high bidder on each parcel.
The minimum increment for bidding is set prior to each specific sale in consultation with the Seller. The increments are set having regard to the FMV of the parcel being sold with more expensive parcels generally having larger increments.
We have all been to live auctions where a quarter of land worth $500,000.00 starts at $100,000.00. The parcel is then bid up in large increments initially with the increments gradually decreasing in size as the bidding approaches the end. At CLHbid.com, given our predetermined minimum increments, we try and speed up the process by starting the bidding at what we see as a reasonable number to start serious bidding at, yet a number still below FMV.
In addition, given the ‘en bloc’ final parcel bidding option offered at CLHbid.com, we require a floor number for each individual parcel in the unlikely event a specific parcel doesn’t receive a bid, yet at the conclusion an eligible bidder wishes to bid on the entire farm or ranch. In such a case, the Starting Bid becomes the value to be used for that Parcel not receiving a bid when determining aggregate bids. It is important to note the Starting Bid is not a Reserve Bid.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all CLHbid.com sales have an ‘en bloc’. Please review the particulars of each sale for clarity.
No. The Seller waives their right to approve the sale if there is a bid on the ‘en bloc’.
This is really no different than in the tendering process wherein Tenders stipulate “any and all tenders will not necessarily be accepted”. One issue with tendering is the cost to put a tender in the paper is nominal and there is always a risk of the Seller perhaps just feeling out the market or wanting to know the names of the parties interested.
At CLHbid.com one of the paramount reasons for allowing the Seller final say is to alleviate the need for an expensive Guarantee to the auction house – expensive and seldom called upon yet often required by the Sellers bank. The Seller’s bank doesn’t require the Seller to purchase a Guarantee when using the CLHbid.com platform wherein the sale is at the Seller’s discretion.
CLHbid.com incurs significant marketing costs in the event the Seller fails to accept the high bid(s). The Seller is under contract with CLHbid.com and the contract references trigger values indicating when the right of the Seller to refuse a sale is taken away.
At CLHbid.com, our Sellers are fully invested in the process meaning the likelihood of a high bid not being accepted is extremely remote.
No. At CLHbid.com there is no advantage to waiting to bid. Our platform has a ‘refresh’ function on the clock such that any bid placed near the expiration of the timed sale will automatically re-set the clock adding additional minutes to the clock giving all parties (including the bidder that was just outbid) another opportunity to bid.
At CLHbid.com we take the human element out of the process. During the bidding process if you are high, you will receive an online notice saying you are High Bid. If you get outbid you will receive an online notice saying you were Outbid. Immediately upon expiration of the timed sale, the high bidder will receive an email indicating they were the HIGHEST BIDDER.
All emails are auto generated. The question cannot arise as to whether you were high or not or “was it shopped to someone they liked better” such as when tendering land.
No. The Starting Bid is just that. The first bid required for a Parcel is the Starting Bid and not some number above it. If you are the initial bidder and just bid the basic minimum increment your Current Bid will be the Starting Bid number.
CLHbid.com doesn’t publish the name of the high bidder. We do, however, disclose the name of the high bidder to the Seller as they are then in a contractual agreement to buy and sell. We leave it up to the high bidder and Seller to tell whomever they wish.
