About the host
Your host
Kelvin is an off grid/renewable energy explorer. Having had a career, then building an off grid camp, tiny homes and solar business, he is now mostly retired and volunteers on green energy and soil restoration initiatives. Yes, with a dash of electric boat building thrown in. Fun loving, book reading and writing, happy kind of guy.
Why they chose this property
This property is really about the space. Your space is a lovely 1/2 acre of forest, cliff face, wild garden and no near neighbors; yet within the town of Newboro. So the boat launch is a 1/2 block away. Restaurants are just up the hill. Its a really lovely and rare bit of old Ontario cottage life complete with American island owners, British cottage owning fly ins, and an eclectic mix of visitors and locals. The local folk are particularly noted as being friendly with a wide range of lifestyle.
What makes this property unique
The forest is a rare fingernail of Carolina forest and hosts not just an amazing number of bird species, but rare critters of all sorts. Expect to see birds that we suggest you don't tell others the location of. And certainly, if you get lucky, turtles. Yes, mums the word.
The gardens divide the area into rooms. Room for a small fire, room for living, room for lounging, room for meditation.
Pickleball courts at the public park.
