Description

A great chance to own a hobby-farm acreage right on the edge of town, close to all the amenities Cranbrook has to offer.

Winter recreation is just as accessible, with Kimberley Alpine Resort a short drive northwest and Fernie Alpine Resort within reach to the east, both known for deep powder and big terrain.
