Original Remarks

Welcome to your very own Shangri-La- a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind, English Tudor-style retreat offering over 3,000sqft of charm and functionality. Tucked away on a tranquil 1.13-acre property surrounded by trees, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home invites you to experience a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. A long driveway leads to the storybook façade, setting the stage for what lies beyond: a spring-fed, trout-stocked pond with fountain, windmill, and meandering creek; a vibrant food forest with over 25 fruit-bearing and medicinal plants; more than 130 flowering plants and perennials, and sculpted shrubs shaped like hearts, a cat, eagle, and penguins adding a whimsical touch. 2 large gazebos- one convertible to a spring greenhouse- and an expansive rear deck offer serene outdoor escapes. Inside, the heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and family room, where rich cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a movable island- perfect for both casual meals and entertaining- take center stage. A cozy gas fireplace adds ambiance to the family room, while 4-panel patio doors flood the space with natural light and open to the backyard. A sunken living room flows into the formal dining room with peaceful garden views and continues to 3 spacious main floor bedrooms, including a grand primary suite with a 5pc ensuite, each featuring expansive picture windows that frame the stunning grounds. The private loft includes 2 spacious bedrooms, a full bath, its own furnace/AC, and a sprawling attic space that is ready to be completed as desired. Downstairs, the finished basement is an entertainer's dream, complete with a theatre room with surround sound, a full wet bar, and plenty of space for shuffleboard, a pool table, and card tables. Wine enthusiasts will love the custom wine cellar designed to hold over 400 bottles. This is more than a home- its a rare and remarkable lifestyle, just 10 minutes North of Guelph.
