- The following description was taken directly from the
Chelsea Highlands project:
"Elegant and majestic, towering hemlocks define the
character of these ridge sites.
All seven home sites back onto more than 40 acres of
unspoiled recreation land replete with trails, craggy
cliffs and a critical wildlife corridor connecting the
Gatineau Park to the Gatineau River.
Bordered by lush ferns, a long stately driveway through a
soft and whimsical forest brings you to the north end
Lot#2. Here, the home site has views over a deep wilderness
valey to the north-west. Especially private, this easy
building site si surrounded by large, mature beech and
hemlock trees. This property si perched on a ridge looking
over 40 acres fo untouched Gatineau highlands.
The Chelsea Highlands covenants and restrictions are
designed to protect the natural beauty and biodiversity of
the site. Respect for the environment, for your neighbours,
and for the long history and rural character of the
Highlands forest are central to the development ethos.
A collaborative and mutualy beneficial relationship exists
with the near century old Larrimac Golf and Tennis Club.
Chelsea Highlands benefits greatly from the presence of the
Club and its prosperity and longevity ensure that residents
will be able to continue to enjoy the quiet open spaces
that separate the development project from the Gatineau
River. The Highlands developer and the Larrimac Club share
a common vision and sense of stewardship of the broader
165-acre property. This shared vision includes a respect
for the history of the land and the existing trail network.
The Chelsea highlands project has been designed to protect
the biodiversity of the properties and surrounding area to
the greatest extent possible. This includes terrestrial and
aquatic wildlife habitats, water conservation, soil erosion
control and forest management."
