Rycroft Real Estate
Spirit River country — northwest Alberta grain belt, long summer days
Homes for Sale in Rycroft
Rycroft sits just steps from Spirit River in northwest Alberta's Peace Country, in Birch Hills County's productive grain and mixed farming belt. This is a different kind of Alberta than the southern prairie — the landscape here is greener, more heavily treed, and shaped by river valleys that give the Spirit River area its surprisingly dramatic character for a flatland region. Grande Prairie is 80 km south for the big-city services. Rycroft itself has a school, local services, and the quiet that north Peace Country villages do well. The grain fields around it are among Canada's northernmost productive farmland — worked under summer days that seem to refuse to end.
