RARE 25-ACRE COUNTRY PARCEL WITH CREEK DIRECTLY OPPOSITE FINGAL WILDLIFE RESERVE. Every so often, a property comes along that simply can't be replicated. Situated right across the road from the pristine Fingal Wildlife Reserve, this extraordinary 25-acre parcel offers the ultimate canvas for your custom country estate, family compound, or long-term land investment. Currently worked in productive cash crop, the acreage features gentle contours, rich soil, and a picturesque creek meandering through the land-adding natural character, beauty, and local wildlife visits that few properties can claim. Whether your vision includes a private custom home tucked off the road, a hobby farm, custom outbuildings, or simple room to stretch out and breathe, the site offers exceptional versatility and peace. Despite its deep country feel and minimal immediate neighbors, you aren't isolated here. Enjoy the absolute best of both worlds: complete rural tranquility with immediate access to everyday amenities in St. Thomas and a short, straightforward commute into London. Spend your mornings walking the endless trails across the street, afternoons enjoying the quiet by the creek, and evenings taking in sweeping sunsets over your own land. Acreage of this size, location, and natural feature set rarely hits the open market in Elgin County. Opportunities to secure a prime piece of land across from protected conservation areas are virtually non-existent. Buyers are to perform their own due diligence regarding building permits, site plan approvals, zoning, and future development potential with the local municipality and conservation authority. Serious inquiries only.
