200 Acres of Land for Sale in Alder River, NS

Discover 200 acres of peaceful Nova Scotia wilderness in Alder River, ideally located between Guysborough and Antigonish. This surveyed and migrated parcel offers a rare mix of privacy, mature forest, and direct access to outdoor recreation. A deeded right-of-way leads from the main road across flat terrain to the property, with an old logging road bringing you the final 0.5 km. Once on the land, you’ll find roughly 2 km of internal road, making it easy to explore the acreage, access future cabin sites, or manage the woodlot. Approximately 40 acres feature mature timber over 40 years old, with the balance in healthy 15-year regrowth. Bordering Crown land on the west side, this property provides exceptional seclusion and access to endless wilderness. An ATV trail just 200 meters away leads to Fitzgerald Lake, a popular trout-fishing spot, and the area is rich with small game and deer. Guysborough’s quiet coastal communities, scenic landscapes, and strong outdoor culture add to the appeal, offering a peaceful lifestyle with amenities still within easy reach. You’re also less than 30 minutes from Antigonish for shopping, services, and StFX amenities—and just a short drive to the well-known Mother Webb’s Restaurant. With hydro at the road and year-round access nearby, this is an excellent opportunity for a cabin, recreational retreat, or long-term land investment in the heart of Guysborough County.
