About this property
If relishing nature’s splendor is the life you’ve been longing for, look no further then this absolutely stunning scenic country property, located on 7.5 sprawling private acres in the township of Blandford-Blenheim. This spectacular 1,984 square foot homestead offers endless modern conveniences—matched by plenty of opportunities for forest bathing and observing abundant wildlife...it’s the stuff avid hikers, bird and nature lovers can only dream of!
Built in 2001, this exquisite 2.5 storey home features a beautiful stone front porch complete with a charming porch swing, an airy loft space, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 1.5 car garage. Gleaming hardwood and charming crown mouldings are featured throughout the entire living quarters of the home. While sophisticated hardwood treads and whimsical wainscotting amble throughout the stairwells and large mudroom. Sleek slate herringbone pattern floors run stylishly underfoot in the main hallway, kitchen, and mudroom adding a refreshingly contemporary touch.
The open gourmet kitchen is modern country chic with quintessential soaring ceilings, stone veneer backsplash, and a massive stainless steel farmhouse sink. Plus the modern convenience of newer stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and kitchen island with dedicated electric power and storage make this open space ideal for entertaining as it leads unencumbered into both living and dining room areas.
Additional notable features include the warm embrace of a grand gas fireplace in the living room, and an electric fireplace in the main second story bathroom, complete with a soaker jet tub and rustic stone veneer wall. Skylights offer plenty of natural light and open air views of the sun or stars in several top floor rooms, including the loft/entertainment space, main bath, and at the foot of the bed in the main second floor bedroom. While charming french doors open to the generous master bedroom with its own elegant private bath.
While this home’s interior is truly exquisite; the outside makes a major impression. The rear patio offers a lovely stone oven for outdoor cooking and entertaining, plus an artesian well and natural spring fed pond comes fully stocked with trout. A newly installed floating dock was built in 2019, offering the perfect pond side patio set up for fishing or sun lounging.
Surrounded by a forest of rambling mature trees and virtually no neighbours nearby, this home feels like it’s situated in a private fairytale woodland where thousands of trilliums bloom in early spring; fall views are kissed by hues of orange, gold, and red; and deer, yellow swallowtail caterpillars, rabbits, racoons, possum, and an extensive species of birds including blue heron, red tailed hawks, and wild turkey are daily visitors. Hot air balloons often glide above the property, landing in a neighbouring field. A historic railbed that once ran along the South perimeter of the property creates the ideal morning run, hike, or cross-country ski path during winter.
This quaint country retreat is located mere minutes to highway 401, Kitchener/Waterloo, and the friendly town of Drumbo.
