Original Remarks

Located along the historic Old Mail Road, this extraordinary 34.74-acre property has been cherished by the same family for over 40 years. A picturesque circular driveway, lined with mature fruit trees, leads to the original two-storey barnboard cottage, built in 1974. From its expansive windows and deck, the home captures sweeping views of the Beaver Valley and Escarpment, overlooking a stunning 60-foot spring-fed swimming pond.The original cottage offers a traditional layout with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, and an open-concept living and dining area centered around a wood-burning fireplace. A practical mudroom/storage area complete the space. A thoughtfully designed addition, completed in 2004, provides a separate living area ideal for extended family or guests. This wing features a main-floor bedroom with a two-piece semi-ensuite, a spacious recreation room, and a charming screened-in porch. The lower level includes a full four-piece bathroom with laundry and two additional bedrooms.The grounds have been lovingly cultivated over the years and were once part of a 15-year forestry program. Previously designated as an organic farm (and maintained as such, though not currently certified), the property showcases thousands of planted trees, including approximately 5,000 pines, along with apple and pear trees, spruce, cedar, and beautifully established gardens throughout.Formerly operated as a garlic farm, the property includes a 25' x 12' drying shed along with four additional outbuildings. Recreational amenities abound, featuring a volleyball court, limestone tennis court, and cement shuffleboard court-making this a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
