I see that. For what I'd need, there are a bunch of properties from $60,000 to $120,000.

A few years before CFB Chatham closed, the radar base at St. Margarets closed. It is about 15 mi. south on Hwy 11. The base and its contents were sold off to whoever came up with the cash. I could have bought a duplex - 1200 sq. feet in both sides - for $8000.I had a young family and there was no way to earn a living around there. Despite the cheap houses, it took a while to sell everything. There were no jobs or services.

I thought about retirees, but a few guys I knew who were retiring from the service told me it was too far from town (Chatham). The hospital, grocery shopping, corner store, etc were too far.That made sense.


Safe Shooting!
