Listing Description

200 ACRES - a mere 500 FEET from HOWDENVALE RD. fronting on part of the HISTORIC 'old Bury Rd' unopened road allowance, and owned by the late Wilfred Ashcroft since 1952. Upon first glance at the aerial photos this could be any large forested area ... but if this land could talk ... it would tell you of the history of fronting on part of the Bury Road that was used for travel to Northern Bruce Peninsula (before Hwy 6 was created) ... the forest fire that burned trees to the ground many years ago (now a healthy forest), the limestone burning kilns business, the 'old home' that was moved to Wiarton (stone foundation walls still visible on the property), snowmobilers travelling on the former OFC trail via the Bury Rd ... the storied property histories are not for sale, but this historic, BEAUTIFUL FORESTED property is! EASY ACCESS - a short 500ft from the MUNICIPAL ROAD on a WELL-WORN TRAIL-ROAD (unopened road allowance), suitable for a 4WD VEHICLE or ATV. The unopened road trail continues along the west side of the property eventually cutting in to part of the property all the way to the north portion (and continuing up the Bruce Peninsula). This well-forested 200 acre property features a good mix of mostly softwoods (CEDAR, PINE, POPLAR), semi-hardwoods (BIRCH) and some hardwood (ASH & MAPLE). Mostly flat, LEVEL LAND, with some EXPOSED LIMESTONE bedrock, and NATURAL CLEARINGS with WILD FLOWERS and FERNS. Small wetland coming into the north-west corner. A RARE FIND ... would make an excellent hunt-camp, forest getaway or off-grid property ... with 200 ACRES, the options are endless! A short 6-7min drive to Howdenvale Sand Beach on Lake Huron, less than 20mins to Wiarton and 15mins to Lions Head.
