If you're looking for a dream location for that new summer home or even for a relaxing spot to permanently plant your feet, Konrad and Claudia Zangl say they have the place for you!
Hailing from Germany, the couple now proudly calls Saskatchewan home. The pair farms near Togo and since they have arrived they have acquired an amazing parcel of land and they've opted to share its beauty with others.
Nestled high atop a valley with a breathtaking view, the Zangls have developed a new resort area called Sun Hills. Each lot - which average about 90' by 200' - boasts "a panoramic southern exposure and a front row seat to incredible sunsets" over Lake of the Prairies and the Assiniboine Valley.
The Zangls, who now have three daughters, moved to their Togo area farm in 1995 and they haven't looked back. While they love the farm life, they knew they also had something special in a parcel of land they purchased atop the valley along Lake of the Prairies and it's now turned into a development they are offering for sale to others.
"We got the idea in 2008 and we started developing in 2009," says Konrad. A new experience for the pair, he says they spent a lot of time researching and viewing other similar developments. "But what we saw is that there was just no place like ours... there are lots out there, but none with a view like this."
It's been a learning curve but Konrad says everything has come together nicely - and seeing is believing. He hopes Yorkton and area residents will come out to take a look so they can see why the Zangls came up with the motto "Visit us for a day. Stay for a lifetime."
Just six miles from Togo, 20 minutes from Roblin, and about 40 minutes from Yorkton, the developed lots are close enough to amenities, but far enough away to be able to relax and enjoy all the beauty that nature has to offer.
Sun Hills is surrounded by a rich biodiversity that includes plenty of wildlife, world-class fishing and even a boat launch. Asessippi Provincial Park and Shellmouth dam are a short drive away and every lot has a view that's second to none says Konrad.
Currently the Zangls are working on Phase 1 of Sun Hills he adds. Forty-eight lots have been approved. Eleven have already sold, each going between $42,000 and $69,000. Lots are large and come fully serviced he says with power, telephone, water and year-round road access. "All of them are front row and each has a spectacular view."
Phase 2 will see the development of additional lots and the couple is also working on the creation of a nine hole golf course for the residents of Sun Hills.
While lots aren't water side, Konrad says the view makes up for it and he adds, each lot has road access to the lake and a boat launch and dock.
"We listen to what people want and we try to bring that... there are walking trails, in the winter they'll be groomed for cross country skiing... we're also about 20 minutes away from Asessippi Ski Hill."
If serene is what you're seeking, Sun Hills is it. "We don't want it to be a party place, we want it to be a quiet setting. There's all kinds of wildlife... it's pretty amazing that way... we want to keep it a nice and good looking community."

"If nature is calling, here is your answer," they conclude.
