Follow the winding lane to this beautiful, private, secluded oasis on 151 acres. The custom built (2015) home sits perched on a hill, offering stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. Architect designed, this home was built with efficiency in mind: super insulated walls, radiant in-floor heating and passive solar design make for a comfortable living space and low heating costs in winter, while well calculated window overhangs keep out the heat in the summer. The house is also a legal duplex! A beautiful, fully self-contained 1-bedroom 1 bath apartment on the east side of the house links to the main 3-bedroom 1.5 bath unit on the west, through a shared laundry room. Ideal for multi-generational households or those wanting to generate a rental income! Additionally, a 4th bedroom or office space in the main unit would be easy to add: the covered porch was designed with this in mind. It has below grade foundation walls, poured concrete floor with in-floor heat loop and insulated roof already in place, all that’s needed for you to expand are the exterior walls! Moving beyond the house, this property boasts 40 acres of workable land (organically managed) and a 1,200 sq ft double-walled greenhouse (2023). The workable acreage is currently enrolled in the Farm Tax Credit Program, and the 100+ acres of conservation land are eligible for property tax exemption through the Conservation Land Tax Program! There is a large, deep, dug pond (2020) for swimming and irrigating, a wood fired sauna, and a newer Jayco mobile home (sleeps 6) with a deck and gazebo for overnight guests. Though incredibly private, this property is only 10 minutes to the town of Markdale, 25 minutes to the city of Owen Sound, and an easy drive to both the GTA and the recreational activities of the Beaver Valley and Blue Mountains. High speed internet access is easily available here for those who work from home. This property must truly be seen to be appreciated! (id:54626)
