We live on a 20 acre property a 5 min drive 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 heat our house with wood fires in the winter. We are looking for outdoorsy people who can chop wood, dig dirt and help with physical yard projects. Help with indoor housework is also appreciated
There are easy access walking or running trails right behind our property.

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.
