A nature lovers and gardeners paradise! 50 acres of fields and woodlot, unspoiled by pesticides for at least 48 years. The Bruce Trail, accessible at the rear of the Property, crosses the 1,000 acres bounded by the surrounding roads. In co-operation with adjacent landowners, a private trail system several kilometers long based on The Old Mail Road and old logging roads is used for hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Your water is from an artesian spring, shared with a neighbour and with an uninterrupted flow for over a century, producing clear water free of the sulphur and iron found in wells lower in the valley. Early spring sees the emergence of watercress in the brook and wild leeks in the woods. The home is surrounded by gardens of perennials with a large vegetable garden and shed. Located on the edge of the Escarpment, a spectacular view of the Beaver Valley with breath-taking sunsets is visible from your living room and outdoor hot tub. The home was rebuilt in 2007 around a double-sided 2-storey fieldstone fireplace, the centrepiece in a cathedral ceilinged Great Room. Attached is a 2 car garage, essential for the winter months. In addition to the 5 bedrooms, for a multi-generational family, an extension has been designed to add a self-contained 1-bedroom granny flat with additional parking underneath, also with a view of the valley. For added security, a 12kw propane generator starts automatically in case of a power failure. The 12th Line has little traffic, not being a through road, however it is on the school bus route, receiving early morning snowplowing in the winter. Privacy and recreational opportunities are blended with accessibility to the nearby Ravenna Country Market, known for it for its baked goods and essentials. The present owners hope the new owners will enjoy the lifestyle of this unique property as much as they have for almost 50 years! (id:63267)
