Sorry to just drop this on you all like a tonne of bricks. I will update when I know more about what’s happening. I have disabled comments on this post and I will discuss this more publicly when I have a better grasp on… something to grasp on to.
For sale: One 49.9 acre Dream Farm. Purchased as a small, cute home on a piece of grass. Is now a fully functioning small farm.
31 acre field, 5 acres pasture around house, 14 acres of bush. Bush spans other neighbouring properties, is of significant size. Your own private hunting ground for deer and rabbit. Portion of the Penetangore River passes through the bush. Is not certified organic, but meets specifications.
Three fenced paddocks; pounded posts with tall fencing. Perimeter around shed is double high, predator proof. Gates large enough to get tractor and balers through. Stand of trees in fenced back pasture for shade and browsing. Back pasture strung on top with line of electric.
Newly erected “cover-all type” out building, tall enough for two fully usable floors, 32×40′. Built and inspected to code.
One or two potting sheds also available, solid construction with shingled roofs and one has double entry.
Water and electrical lines run from house to shed and out building.
Enjoy total privacy. From your front door, you can see no neighbours. Milky way clearly visible on any good night. Heavy traffic consists of more than 3 cars in a morning, and Amish buggies on their way to bi-monthly church meetings. Though you cannot see your neighbours, or hear them, you could not ask for more genuine people. They are all a blessing in their own way. With all of the Amish neighbours and your own garden at your finger tips, you too could feel the joy of being free of grocery store dependence.
House sits far back from the road, at the end of a slow curving willow lined driveway, which has been recently filled. House is young, at 21 years old. Partial wood board and batten exterior. Beautiful wood beams taken from the bush lot are a centre piece of the downstairs, which is open concept. Warm wood encompasses the living room, which fills with morning sunlight, looking golden.
There is no basement, but a cold room. Laundry room is in an addition off the side of the house, which has heat. Spacious single car garage with loft space with house entry. WET inspected woodstove heats the entire house; with the wood lot, your heating bills will be reduced to $0 for life.
Two piece bathroom on the lower level; large ensuite upstairs with two sinks, deep bean shaped tub and plenty of storage space.
Master bedroom has large window, from which you can see the stars while laying in bed. It overlooks the acreage, a view that will take your breath away every morning. Giant walk in closet is attached to the master, with a window with the same view. Closet continues past folding doors to provide additional storage space, with a window overlooking the front of the house, and a door to the balcony.
Two other bedrooms are upstairs, neither small. Both have doors which open onto the front balcony. Balcony is lined with built in planters and overlooks the front pasture and garden. Both have built in closets.
House has new BilDen interlocking shingle metal roof, lifetime warranty, transferable to new owner. New windows and two new doors via Georgian Bay installed this spring.
House has it’s own well, deep enough to never go dry on you, and provide for significantly more animals than we carry. Excellent water quality. Recently pumped septic tank, which was inspected when we purchased the property.
Bountiful apple tree; two fruiting plum trees and a mulberry also present. Established currants; lovely peonies, lilies in the front flower bed.
Plenty of potential for addition off the back of the home if desired.
The house is within an industrial wind turbine project boundary, but to our knowledge, there are no turbines planned within one kilometer of the house itself.
If you have ever dreamed of self sufficiency, wanted to engage the natural world while providing for your family… this is it.
Light falls into this house unlike few others I have ever been in. It is quaint, but not cramped in anyway. It is a wonderful home to live in.
Front of the house, not including attached garage.
View from the house to the goat shed at sunset.
View of back pasture.
Front pasture and willow lined driveway.
Arial view of the property from when we moved in.
Eunice the Sheep, and all of her Nigerian Dwarf Goat friends also included for the right buyer.
I can’t answer any questions at the moment. We are selling if the Universe puts some stars a whole galaxy in line for us.
