Station Road, Athol – $25,000

Almost half an acre (18,329 sq. ft.) triangular building lot in Athol, a small community along Route 302 in a quiet part of Nova Scotia. The highway is well plowed during the winter. Athol was settled by Yorkshire immigrants in the late eighteenth century and is named after John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl.

The main economic activities in the area are lumber and large-scale cultivation of wild blueberries. There are elementary and high schools within busing distance, and the towns of Amherst and Springhill are each 15 minutes away. Athol is also a mere 20 minutes from the world famous Bay of Fundy and the Joggins Fossil Cliffs – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The price is firm … please don’t contact us with a lower offer. However, we can let you pay for it over two years, if you have 20% down. At this price, if you aren’t ready to build your retirement or summer home, just tuck it away in your investment portfolio. Prices can only go up from here. The attached screenshot from the National Post shows how real estate values around here are at fire sale prices.
