Property Features: The panhandled shaped property with hilly terrain to the East is under a managed forestry program and agreement which is renewed for another 5 years, and allows for a lower tax assessment. Property taxes for 2015, were $2,576. Centreville Creek passes through the property and the Oak RidgesTrail, only steps away, links up to the Bruce Trail. There is a seasonal pond on the property and many kilometres of trails have been maintained & groomed by the owners. There is a high point with westerly views and sunsets perfect for picnics or for enjoying the serenity of your surroundings. At last count, there were 67 different tree varieties on the property including two rare (for this area), Lirodendron Tulipifera or Tulip Trees. The idea of management is to replace, where appropriate, the red pines planted in the thirties with hardwood species, while keeping a mix of old and new growth. The beech regeneration is spectacular on the property. Because the forest was thinned to promote hardwood growth, the open canopy has also created the growth of wild raspberries as well as saplings, so they are both left to grow together in this living natural forest. Many discoveries are waiting for the next buyer of this outstanding piece of Caledon.
