Seeking hunting property in Southern Ontario

I was looking at buying land a few years ago up towards tobemory. If you have no plans of building on the land there are some edescent deals to be had. Most of the deals are lots with no services, no waterfront but do have forest and marsh areas on the property. Anywhere from Sauble over to Owen Sound and then north from there should get some descent results for utility land.

Hi Berrettaboy,

Pardon my ignorance, but could you explain the "Buyer Representation Agreement" to me. I'm still in the early stages of researching my options, but that sounds like a good thing to know about.

"Buyer Representation Agreement" is an agreement that you sign with your real state Agent that usually binds you to buy exclusively through that agent for a period of time (usually 3 months).

Drawbacks are obviously, being binded to buy through that agent in the area mentioned in the agreement. The positive point is that the agent will now have a incentive to actively look for you knowing that IF you buy, you will buy through him/her.

BERETTA BOY; yes I will sign a B.R.A with you once you give me your website (so I know you are a pro), and I meet with you in or around Ellwood Epps. :)

That area has come to mind in the past. IIRC, some of the streams there that flow into Lake Huron and Georgian Bay also hold resident trout and steelhead. Is that correct? I understand that there's bears up there, but how are the turkeys doing up there?

I'm okay with no services, unless they still tax you as though you had them! The proximity to the lake and bigger trout streams can be a bonus as well. The downside is that it's nowhere near our cottage lot, but if the hunting is good enough, there's a chance for decent fishing nearby, and the land is affordable.....I'm still open to possibilities.

Thanks,

Frank

I agree with the suggestion that backing to the Crown Land is a mixed blessing. It could also be a course.
Just like you can cross into the C.L. , others can cross into your property and poach (and rest assure, they often do, no matter how many " Private Property" signs you post).

The Idea of being close but not abutting Crown Land is of course the best of the both worlds.

I can confirm that statement IS the reality....unfortunately. :(
 
The Mount Forest\ Durham region has some good parcels for around 150- 200 g's for 50 to 100 acres, unserviced of coarse without a house.

A friend has a 50 acre parcel he bought for 50 g's about 10 years ago that has the attractions you mention, all in one.:D

It's not in you're "zone" but worth a look. Only one hour from Kitchener and prolly 1 1\2 hours drive from TO.

Turkey, deer, rabbits, woodcock,waterfowl, coyote, groundhogs, seem to be everywhere and once you're in, you can always ask neighbouring farmers for permission. Relatively easy to get if you come across as a half decent fella. Beats clown land all to hell.;)
 
I would never buy land next to crown. Atleast not anywhere need southern ontario.

"Sorry, I thought this was crown land".

Sorry I thought I was still on crown land.

Sorry I didn't see the sign.

That is all you will hear as you are continuously seeing trepassers.

IIRC, 53 A is very close to our lot off of Sparrow Lake. I've hunted a bit around Kashe Lake and would love to have access to some of the tracts of Crown Land that's difficult to reach from the roads there. The Conservation Reserves on the north and south side of Kashe lake holds promise (I've seen rabbits, grouse, ducks and turkeys during my brief forays into the southern tract) and a friend of mine saw deer there as well.

53B is just a bit north of our lot. The main downside is that it's shotgun only for deer, that despite the large tract of Crown Land with lots of hills and valleys that can make for some long shots. This is an example of how too many cottagers from Toronto can interfere with hunting opportunities.

Yes, I'll definitely keep these areas in mind.

Cheers,

Frank

ya its nice,my buddy has 500acres backing on 1500 crown,which can really only be accessed through his land, hard to get to off the road,its heaven on earth
 
Use MLS.ca and search for Vacant Land or Agricultural. Chunks of land can be had from $9000 and up depending on whether building permits are available or not, road access, waterfront, etc, etc, etc.

It's a very functional resource and you'd be surprised at what pops up.
