Welcome to our community, Courtice Homestead!

These homes are immediately beside a significant natural area. Special care was taken in the design and development of this community to minimize its impact on the natural environment. Courtice Homestead sits on an area known as the Lake Iroquois Shoreline because it was once the edge of a great lake that formed as the glaciers retreated 12,000 years ago. Today, sandy soils and a high ground water table characterize this area, both of which are integral to its importance. A natural forested creek valley lies just beyond the backyard of most homes. The wetland and surrounding forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife and a number of unique plant species.
