The neighbourhood is part of the prestigious Spry Shore Road - Hobsons Harbour community, home to the Peninsula's well healed, featuring large estate lots of over 1 acre each. The community is very welcoming.
Enjoy every minute of nature, including the private Hobsons Harbour Drive, recognized a provincial 'Scenic Route'. A quick drive with have land in the cute town of Lion's Head, home to the White Bluffs and Lion's Head Lookout Bruce Trail trailheads. Be careful with your speed, this is a family oriented community. We highly recommend a walk along Hobsons Harbour Drive to the dead end, or a boat tour along the coastline at sunset. Although the house has private lake access, there are also one popular public accesses that are each a few kilometres away. If you feel like a little different scenery while swimming - it is only steps away. There is also a sandy beach within about 15 minute drive.
