PEI is the smallest of the Canadian provinces with an overall length of 190 kilometers and a population of 138,000 on a total area of 5684 square kilometers (1,405,000 acres). Major industries are farming (it is noted world-wide for its potatoes), fishing (Malpeque Bay oysters, mussels and lobsters), forestry and in recent years tourism. Its wonderful climate, picture book colorful rolling landscape and overall beauty have led to a rapidly growing international popularity as a summer haven. Our changing climate has led to a longer swimming season extending from June to September when the beach water temperatures range between 18 and 23 °C. The world famous novel "Anne of Green Gables" was written in 1908 by an Island native and it describes the wholesome rural life on the Island, which is still present today. In addition to its wide sandy beaches and many bays, the recent addition of many new golf courses (30 in 2003) have made PEI one of the most popular vacation places in Canada.
Since 1997 PEI has been connected by the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick. The large modern city of Moncton, New Brunswick is only an hour's drive and it has an international airport. Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. John, New Brunswick are 2 and 5 hours by car while Boston, MA is about a 10 hour drive. PEI's capital, Charlottetown (population 33.000), has frequent daily air services to Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. An overview of the property is shown in this aerial photo. |

It is located at the western end of the north shore beach area, a large part of which is a Canadian National Park.

It shows the remarkably wide beaches beneath the high cliffs along the edge of the woods and potato fields. Nested within the small forest are three small cottages, which are presently rented to summer vacationers. The green areas are in active cultivation leased to a local farmer.

Being at the end of the road and surrounded by water with magnificent panorama vistas it would be a perfect site for a modern hotel/convention center facility with a small golf course, tennis courts and indoor swimming pool for spring and fall use. Because of its gentle slope the property is also exceptionally well suited for subdivision into large estate lots for exclusive luxury homes. Each would have its own view of the ocean. The soil has been tested for percolation rate and has passed the local stringent requirements (category 1). We have obtained preliminary provincial approval of a subdivision as shown below.
