| These truly unique and beautiful
properties lend themselves very well to investing in the healthy retreat lifestyle
of modern rural living. Specifically 80% of the forest is protected as well as all the old growth trees in the area. This is a green development which will remain a wooded community for all time. |

| The large (5, 10, 15 acre) properties
are located amidst ecotourism facilities, marinas, fly fishing rivers, equestrian
centres and many golf courses, and yet only minutes away from stores, schools,
an airport, a new ferry terminal, and Highway #1, the Trans Canada Highway.
