Your acreage can be accessed in two ways. The first route is through Highway 116 at Smiths Corner using Allen Road, which is listed as a public non-maintained road. To get to the property from the south, follow Allen Road for approximately 1.3 kilometers north from Highway 116. The second access point is through Fishing Club Road in Bass River, involving several kilometers of backroads and woods roads to reach the land from the north.
Topography of the land is relatively level, sloping down towards a small brook which carves it’s way across the southern third of the acreage. The average elevation above sea level is 140 meters.
The acreage was harvested for timbers between 2010 and 2015, and has since been pre-commercially thinned. Regeneration and tree growth is looking very healthy in a variety of tree varieties from Poplar, Birch, Maple, Fir, Spruce, and a few Pine. The forest supports a diverse natural habitat of wildlife and birds.
The Richibucto River is easily accessed via a trail from within your acreage, where you can fish for Trout, Perch and Smelt.
For hunting and outdoor exploration, this acreage is ideally situated and connected to nearly endless miles of backroads and wilderness trails that can be travelled on foot, by ATV, and through the winter months, by snowmobile, snowshoe and cross-country ski. The thousands of acreas of connecting Crown Lands make also make this a great spot for hunting, not only on your acreage but also on the adjoining lands. Deer, Moose, Bear and small game.
