Fifteen private woodland retreats, ranging in size from 7 acres to 49 acres, near Sandfield, a remote and mostly undeveloped area, a 15 minute's drive south of Sydney. Choose your place at WoodHill Panoramas for recreation, outdoor adventure, a cottage or wilderness retreat, or land investment.
Imagine a place where serenity deepens with every curve of the road and rush hour simply doesn't exist. Where old growth forests inspire new beginnings and concrete sidewalks give way to trails carpeted in ferns and virgin meadows. Imagine being able to exist in harmony with nature.
Few make it a reality.
WoodHill PANORAMAS comprises an enclave of 350 acres of panoramic woodlands, ponds, creeks and pastures. Over-sized private estates range from 7 acres to 49 acres, all accessible by public road. The topography is flat to gently rolling and many of the lots border on crown land, offering unparalleled opportunities for recreational pursuits.
In summer, savor the fresh country air scented with the fragrance of wildflowers and spicy fresh pine. And when autumn arrives, watch the vista explode in a pallet of colours from the changing leaves of tall maples, birch, poplar, beech and aspen trees.
Wildlife is abundant and it's common to spot bald eagles, moose, white-tailed deer, raccoons, hares, beaver, otter and wild geese, and song birds fill the air with their symphonic calls.
Located just 15 minutes from the town of Sydney and the historic Louisbourg fortress, lots sizes are ideal for those who want to build anything from a seasonal cottage retreat to a year round hobby farm or horse ranch. The quaint town of Marion Bridge is just 4 km away and offers closer amenities such as stores, a home bakery, banks, churches, schools, and more.
WoodHill PANORAMAS is perfectly situated for day trips to long lonely ocean beaches or one of the many fishing lakes in the immediate area. Check out the fabulous Bras d'Or Lake , Nova Scotia 's sailing paradise and watersport mecca. Visit tiny colorful fishing villages, tour the famous Cabot Trail and hike the Cape Breton Highlands. The attractions are endless and add a welcome diversion from your country hide-away.
Recreational opportunities change with the seasons. Go skating on ponds in the winter or follow a rabbit's trails on your cross country skis. Come spring, hop on your mountain bike and don your hiking boots to capture some wildlife photography or go whale watching. In summer you'll be swimming and sailing or can opt to just laze on the beach and come fall, you'll be horseback riding through the changing leaves or fishing for trout.
WoodHill PANORAMAS are easy to find: From the town of Sydney take Hwy 4 ( East Bay Road ) to Portage , continue on Morley Road to exit Alexander Street , continue another 7 km to Woodbine Road .
