Recreational Cottage Lots Available On Avalon Peninsula

Seventy-three Crown land recreational cottage lots located in the Salmonier Line area on the Avalon Peninsula are being made available through an upcoming public draw. These lots range from $39,000 - $65,000 and will be sold as Crown grants (outright ownership) with the full price due upon signature of the title document.

“As demand for recreational cottage lots increases on the Avalon Peninsula, we continue to ensure fair access to these recreational cottage lots through our public draw process, while considering the recreational needs of the people of the province in a fair and responsible manner.”
- The Honourable Joan Shea, Minister of Environment and Conservation
