Why they chose this property
We love being in the village and have everything we need without ever getting into a car. We can go hiking, biking on the Heritage Trail, kayaking and swimming all within walking distance. Then after a full day of activity we can come back to our property and feel like we are miles away with the National Park in our backyard.
