Property Survey

 

The property is about 10 acres (4 hecters) with nearly 400 feet (128 meters) of shoreline. The original road used to develop the property is now only a foot path. Vehicles can only go as far as the Workshop - the rest of the property can only be accessed by walking.

The bedroom house is what its name implies. It contains three bedrooms and a large bathroom with two sinks. This building is also called the "Loft House" as the bedrooms have additional sleeping areas in the upstairs.

Dock and Area
The Dock                                                                    Standing on the dock and looking towards the North East

Bird cove is an excellent sheltered area. Prevaling winds are from the North West in summer and South East in the winter. Tides average are about 12 feet from low to high, the low tide cycle is about 24 and 1/2 hours per day - that is to say that if the low tide was at 11:00 am today it will be roughly 11:30 am tomorrow. For about 4 hours each day, around low tide, the dock float is high and dry. This is an inconvienence and has to be planned around.

The Quarry is at the back of the property and across the road. It is a quiet and pleasant place with water lilies. The water is used for no-drinking purposes.
