Nature Lovers Dream! Located near Dalhousie Lake, this unique managed forest property boasts initial hand plantings of 23000 deciduous and evergreen trees in 1972-80. This truly one-of-a kind property, once an early settler's farm, includes a varied landscape of mixed forest, old growth, a red pine plantation, and a spring-fed wetland with an east-to-west flowing creek. Between the plantation rows of red pine, sustainably managed and thinned in 2009, is the new growth of emerging mixed forest. Second thinning is due soon. This rich biodiversity, identified by researchers, foresters and naturalists, includes 25 types of trees, 40 bird species, 11 types of mammals, 7 species of amphibians, along with 16 kinds of shrubs and vines, and 86 types of herbs, ferns, and grasses.

A well maintained and mowed lane through much of the property makes for easy access to interested buyers. There is year around access to the complete frontage of the property.
