NATURE LOVERS PARADISE. Over 20 acres of outstanding beauty - forest, trails, beautiful flowering shrubs, mature trees, and 800' of direct frontage on the Gold River. It's all about location. Ideal for those wanting privacy in a park-like, natural setting, this property is being sold as a residential property but could easily be an artists' retreat, wedding venue, campground or create vacation cottages... Let your imagination soar. The price reflects that this solidly built home requires new owners who have the means to make the necessary upgrades to the home. Located in Chester Basin, commuting distance to the Valley, Bridgewater or Halifax. A wonderful opportunity!
