Two ponds, including one stocked with speckled trout, offer water access and recreational value. The additional 50-acre rear parcel features a mature mixed bush of cedar, pine, maple, ash, and poplar, also backing onto Blacks Creek, providing excellent opportunities for recreation, trails, or sustainable woodlot use.
