Lifestyle

No stress, no worry, no hurry. Owning land here is a great opportunity to enjoy the slower pace of small town living – whether it's for a vacation a few times a year, or as a full time residence. The serene and scenic setting here makes you want to stop and appreciate the simple things: admiring the views, breathing in the fresh maritime air, and hiking around your land while watching for wildlife and birds flying overhead. Clearings on the land will provide perfect building sites for your dream vacation cottage or year round home. There is plenty of space for keeping chickens for farm fresh eggs, growing your own produce, and more. 

No matter the season, there are many activities and vacation pleasures to enjoy here in North Riverside. In the spring and summer, you can look forward to swimming, boating, and fishing for trout and bass on the beautiful Milford Haven River just minutes from your doorstep.

There are also a number of rivers nearby to try your hand at salmon fishing, including local favorites like St. Mary's River and Margaree River just an hour and a half drive from your land. If golf is your game, you'll also enjoy playing through the eighteen hole course at Osprey Shores Golf Resort in Guysborough just ten minutes from the subdivision. 

In the fall, a dazzling show of color will take place around your land as the leaves change. This is a fantastic time to explore the most eastern leg of the Trans Canada Trail, the Guysborough Nature Trail, by foot or bike. And it's also the perfect time to drive the world renowned Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, which is just 2.5 hours away from the subdivision. The Cabot Trail ranked as one of the World's 10 Most Beautiful Highways by Fox News Travel. Although the Trail is beautiful any time of year, the scenery in the fall is especially breathtaking. 

This will also give you the opportunity to explore the charming east coast villages and towns surrounding you while stopping for fresh lobster, crab, oysters, mussels, clams, scallops, and mackerel at local restaurants. Welcoming locals will make you feel right at home here and will likely share their favorite "must-stop spots" in the area with you. 

In the winter months, you can look forward to snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling on scenic wood roads and trails surrounding your land. Outdoorsmen will also enjoy hunting for small and big game in the area.
