I’ve invested in a few properties in Nova Scotia. Good value. To check the locations, just enter the PID (property ID) onto: https://www.viewpoint.ca/
Next is to design some amazing forest dwellings (hobbit houses and creative tree-dwellings, maybe off-grid, the best way).
Also I need to make pads asap and let van-campers move onto them.
Here’s a one hectare domain design. It’s based on the Ringing Cedars descriptions.
the culture of Nova Scotia, Canada …
.. on the Atlantic ocean, with a history of seafaring. Warm summers and snowy winters, four distinct seasons. Natives are Micmac.
A homestead: solar panels on the roof, a good well, a self-composting toilet … and some hugelkulture.
… If you found yourself in a small coastal village with friendly cafes and bistros, art galleries and so on. With good challenging golf on seaside links. You could be quite happy that way …

1 – Port Dufferin
Oceanfront 3 acres… Boat access only for now … Here’s a small peninsula that sits on the ocean and shelters a small lagoon. It’s 3 acres. The road is 3 properties away, with water on 3 sides.
the listing said: “…Great lot for the nature lover! Take your kayak and enjoy a day on the water from this property. This lot is located on the Eastern Shore of NS in a small ocean front town of Port Dufferin. The lot is located directly on the ocean in a very quiet undeveloped area..”
(the dot below on the NS map)
The property across the small channel has a long driveway there off the main road. And that channel is a channel for the lagoon. I walked across it on low tide and it was pretty mushy. But it connected OK. 
To connect it to the property across the channel, you’d need permission from the municipality for environmental concerns. But a good big concrete culvert would work best. With solid earth on both sides to make a ramp up and over it. 
This way the channel is undisturbed. Otherwise you could do a low bridge, but that would cost a bit …
The neighbor’s long driveway is an easier connection to the road. It would require an agreement, an easement on the deed. Lawyers do that stuff. It might cost $500- 1000. Making an actual road connection means going through three properties and it’s around 1 kilometer to that paved road. Would need agreement from those owners (they would benefit a lot from it).

2 – North Ogden
It’s remote, in a subdivision that hasn’t been settled yet except for one house. The road to get to it off the paved highway is very rough, one km. on a 4-wheel drive track. ” a riverfront lot. This 3.8 acre +/- lot in the Cook Chisholm Subdivision at Ogden has mature hardwood and softwood trees, right on the Salmon River…”.
It’s right on a river that leads to the Atlantic, 4 acres of mature trees.
… the orange rectangle at the top on the Salmon River. below is a close-up. 
I’m guessing the river is around 5 to 10 meters wide at that point, although it narrows upstream (left part of the image); could be rapids there which would be amazing. the 4 acres is at the lower right corner below.

5 – Springhill
” .. Centrally located building lot, quick walk to downtown shopping. Call today for more information.…”
Springhill has a lot of history, plus it’s the hometown of singer Anne Murray. Underneath the town is a lot of coal. The mines closed down years ago but the coal is still there. The lot is at 8 Mechanic street. It’s zoned multi-use commercial which means good value. It’s 2 lots over from the main street. Best use here-. To have a commercial structure that fills the needs of a small village. Perhaps a storage place. Since these don’t cost much to make and residual income is very safe and steady with low cost. With commercial zoning many simple uses are possible.

There is a modern prophetess Anastasia. She doesn’t like platitudes like this, sorry.
The Ringing Cedars stories describe how a person should create their own paradise on Earth in the form of a two or three-acre property, lovingly tended to bring out all the beauty of nature.
The prices for land in BC are pretty high, so I’ve switched my attentions to Nova Scotia. Most of BC is crown land which is held by the government. So the supply of available market land is limited, which results in higher prices. 
In the eastern parts of Canada, there is more market land available.
Blessed.
I have several plots now; one is 4 acres, one 6 acres, and one is 11 acres. All of them are well treed. I look forward to making the most forest-friendly situation possible.
