Talk about convenient, this acreage also has easy access to Hwy 533, or Hwy 2. Only 2 minutes to the very vibrant, family friendly community, of Nanton, which is the home of the Nanton Nite Rodeo, plenty of small shops, Baseball diamonds, K-12 schools, Hockey rinks, and the Ag societies Rodeo grounds, which is just a short 2 km ride from this property. Being Sold "as is", this property does need some upgrades , but it is upgrading well worth making, and has been priced right to sell. If you have some vision and it is time for a country way of life, this is the home for you. Do not enter property without permission. More details
