Our property is located in the peaceful ranching hamlet of Twin Butte (28km south of Pincher Creek). We are only 1km away from the legendary Twin Butte General Store/Mexican Restaurant which features great food, ice cream, and live music. Drive 20 minutes south and you'll be in the spectacular Waterton Lakes National park where you can find great hiking, biking, paddling, fishing, and amazing wildlife viewing. Drive 20 minutes north and west and you'll be in the beautiful front ranges of Castle Wildland Provincial Park, which also offers excellent hiking and fishing opportunities. If you venture a little further (about an hour), you'll have access to all of the opportunities the rest of the Castle Provinical Park or Crowsnest Pass has to offer, with many recreational activities available. No dogs or other pets are allowed on the property as we have our own pets and our neighbors have livestock.
