What is it like to live here?
The escarpment's conservation areas are the neighbourhood's backyard: Kelso and Glen Eden for swimming, trails and skiing, Rattlesnake Point for cliff-top lookouts, and Crawford Lake, with its reconstructed Iroquoian village. The Nassagaweya Canyon Trail links Rattlesnake Point and Crawford Lake. Downtown Milton and Highway 401 are a short drive.
What should buyers check?
Escarpment land comes with its own approvals. Properties in the Niagara Escarpment Commission's development control area need a development permit for most new buildings, additions, pools and even some grading, and Conservation Halton regulates slopes, streams and wetlands. Steep or wooded lots can also raise questions about erosion, septic placement and driveway access in winter. As with any country home, test the well, inspect the septic system and get an insurance quote early; rural and wood-heated homes can cost more to insure.
