Dreaming about raising a family on a homestead? With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths + 36 acres, imagine the possibilities! Approaching the 2500 sqft home, up the long driveway, you will pass 3 spring-fed ponds, perfect for swimming, fishing for trout, watching the koi or skating. The original farmhouse, built in 1886, received an addition in 2018, but still maintains its farmhouse character, down to the swing on the wraparound porch. The slate floored foyer has a built-in bench to help keep everyone organized + conveniently a 2-pc bath is close by. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, now imagine baking a pie from your own apples in the gas oven, cooking a breakfast with eggs from your chickens or hosting a farm-to-table dinner. Grab a book from the built-in shelves in the bright living room + cozy up on the window seat or beside the woodstove. Kiddos can watch a movie in the spacious family room, while you are working from the main floor office. Upstairs, the kids have 4 bedrooms to choose from + a stunning 5-pc bath to share. The upper office could double as a nursery, w laundry across the hall + the primary suite beside. Retreat to the large primary bedroom, with it's huge w/i closet + 4-pc ensuite. The basement is partially finished w a separate entrance, rec room, 3-pc bath + laundry, so your kids will never want to leave! Outside just gets better. Soak in the hot tub, have a campfire, walk the trails through the pine forest, toboggan down the hill, camp in the woods or put in that pool you have been longing for. Store your toys in the heated + insulated 3-bay garage, with a loft for future jam sessions or maybe even living space. Horses welcome! With 6 paddocks, a sand ring, an original stone barn w 200 amps + 2 frost-free taps + a 7 box stall stable, the sky is the limit for options! Walking distance to Hillsburgh, groceries + park, minutes to Erin + the Elora-Cataract Trail, you can have the best of country living, with all of the amenities you need. (id:23309)
