Full Description:
Almost 10 acres of magical Denman land, well-located close to many walking trails, Morrison's Marsh, McFarlane Bay and the ferry to Hornby Island.

This special acreage has a mixed topography that is filled with large maples, fir and cedar trees. Just off a quiet no-thru road, this property is an oasis of solitude. The rolling hills protect your privacy and buffer any noise from neighbours. A nearby wetland attracts a variety of birds and wildlife to this magical place.

The undeveloped acreage is waiting for you to build your dream home, and special features; or just hold this parkland paradise for the future.
