This has been called an ‘old-fashioned acreage’ meaning it is not a long strip (usually created by subdivisions) but close to a square, 2700 ft by 3000 ft. The Smithville Road provides one of the long sides of the property, and the old railway line running from Inverness to the Canso Causeway - now the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail - is the other long boundary.

The entrance to this huge parcel of land is across the highway from the road into Chimney Corner beach. The property has a road through it and some small areas of cleared land, meadows - remnants of the homestead that was once here. Otherwise it is a tract of forested land, largely hardwood, with some spruce here and there.
