Discover 40.22 acres of private, highly usable riverfront land in the scenic Blaeberry area, just over 15 minutes from Golden. An established 1.3-kilometre trail winds through mixed forest from Kettleston Road to the dramatic Blaeberry River canyon, with opportunities for hiking, biking & cross-country skiing. Several potential building sites are located throughout the property, including an exceptional site near the crest of the slope with panoramic views of Mount Hedberg, Moberly Peak & the surrounding mountains. A 6,000-square-foot shop near the front of the property features insulated walls, roof and concrete floor, metal cladding inside and out, a large open workspace (70 x 60), plus multiple work and storage rooms and a second-level mezzanine. The property has two 200-amp electrical services—one for the shop and one ready for future development. Water is supplied by a cistern, and there is currently no septic system. Potential to drill a well. With no local zoning bylaw presently in place, the acreage may offer potential for subdivision into approx. 2.5-acre lots, a recreation-oriented commercial venture or a small outdoor resort with cabins, glamping tents, geodomes, bunkies, RV sites, etc. The shop would be a nice perk, offering guest workspace, storage and/or event-hosting space. Combining usable land, privacy, outstanding recreation and convenient access to Golden, this is a rare opportunity in one of the Columbia Valley’s most scenic settings.
