Farm Two53 is an 80-acre working farm and heritage guest ranch about 20 minutes south of Calgary. The land feeds cattle, chickens, and pigs, while elk, coyotes, feathered friends and a rotating cast of other wildlife come and go as they please.
The buildings date to the 1950s and have been brought back by hand. Once people find their way here, they have a hard time leaving. Check out the history here.

about the land
This land has been a place of hospitality since wagons rolled past on the old gravel road. The original buildings date to 1951.
The barn is older. The wildlife still
come through like they always have.
It's been in restoration ever since we got the keys, and honestly it probably always will be. That's the nature of a place worth keeping.
finding beauty in things that seem too far gone
Farm Two53 didn't start with a business plan. It started with a feeling. Two years of searching, handmade wanted signs on gas station bulletin boards, and putting on many country miles. When we won the 2019 auction, folks couldn't quite see what we saw in a dilapidated house that had been empty for twenty years.
The farm turned 75 in 2026. The story of how it got here is worth knowing.
