**RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR LAND CONSERVATIONISTS!** Exceptional 236*-acre landholding located just north of Snow Valley Ski Hills, offering a unique opportunity for conservation, recreation, and long-term investment. Next to a snowmobile trail and bike/walking trail. Zoned **EP (Environmental Protection)**, this offering includes two separately deeded parcels (2 PINs): a 160-acre parcel with frontage on George Johnston Road and a 76-acre parcel with frontage on Vespra Valley Road, divided by the scenic North Simcoe Trail. This remarkable property is a beautiful natural heritage environment featuring ponds, streams, wetlands, mature forest, open spaces, and abundant wildlife habitat. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, hikers, birdwatchers, canoeists, photographers, and those seeking a private recreational retreat. Remnants of a former barn and residence are visible on aerial imagery, reflecting the property's rural history. According to the Municipal Property Assessment, the lands are classified as an unbuildable parcel with approximately 51%-75% swamp and low, wet topography. Portions of the property, estimated at approximately 50 acres, appear to be higher, drier, and more walkable; however, buyers should complete their own investigations regarding the property's physical characteristics. Purchasers considering an estate residence, ranch, eco-farm, or other future use must consult with the Municipality, Conservation Authority, and other governing authorities regarding potential approvals while respecting the environmentally protected features of the land. This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial acreage in a highly desirable location within minutes of Barrie, Snow Valley Ski Resort, golf courses, and year-round recreational amenities. Buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitted uses, development potential, environmental regulations, and all future intended uses. (id:66096)
