Description
We live on a 20 acre property 5 min out of the town of Golden,BC
We are nestled in the mountains with several national parks surrounding us and great views from our windows!
We have a beautiful garden and a dog named Morocco with some beautiful walking trails right out the back door.
Right now its me, my husband and our 18 year old son living on the property while our daughter is away at University
Golden itself is an outdoor hub for mountain biking, trail running or hiking , rafting , kayaking and skiing. Its a friendly community with several great coffee shops and cafes and you can easily walk anywhere in town.
