High Wood Village
Where horses used to ride...
High Wood was opened in 1964, the second village to commence development in New Seabury. The original theme of the village was horsemanship and the lots ranged from three-quarters to two acres in size. There were walking/riding paths that were 50 feet wide bordering the lots. They were primarily used for horseback riding. At one time there was a barn to stable the horses. It was not rebuilt after a fire destroyed it several decades ago.
Today, High Wood Village is a private community known for spacious wooded lots and beautiful walking trails. It attracts homeowners who love the combination of privacy and nature and enjoy the rural style of their surroundings.
There are two beautiful ponds in the village with two scenic walking trails along them and multiple secluded walking paths within the village. These two ponds can be easily observed by taking the scenic Blue Trail from Rock Landing Rd to Wading Place Rd. The ponds are surrounded by reserve areas and can accommodate a kayak or a canoe. The Red Trail goes along Wading Place Rd and Rock Landing Rd and is good for hiking.
High Wood is made up of 122 properties including homes on Uncle Percy’s Road, Aunt Jane’s Road and Rock Landing Road. It tends to be quiet and pleasant throughout the year because of the size of the lots, the maturity of the trees, the small amount of traffic on most of the streets excluding Rock Landing Road and the mostly secluded location.
