Enchanted forest

7 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Athabasca, AB
I own 10 acres of land surrounded by farmers. We used to raise chickens and make big gardens every years, but my husband had health issues and we pretty much stopped. My husband has since passed away and I find that this property is getting too big for me. The best part about my place in my opinion is that it is mostly trees and very natural, and of course that there is a nice lake called Long island lake 15 minute drive from my home. It's fenced all around and extremely private. Big from yard for sports and lots of natural beauty all around.
