About this home

Inside the home

This is a large, one-owner country property that has been carefully maintained for over 45 years but has not been cosmetically updated. The house has good bones — a vaulted family room with timber beams and brick fireplace, solid hardwood floors in the main living areas, and a fully finished walk-out basement with enough space for a pool table, ping-pong, and a separate sitting area. The kitchen, foyer, and several bedrooms are original 1980s-90s vintage and will need work. The outdoor package is the strongest part of this listing. The 2.1-acre lot is private, mature, and well-landscaped, with an in-ground pool surrounded by tall conifers and a large stamped concrete patio off the basement walkout. The shared interest in 21.8 acres of forested land down to Whitemans Creek is unusual and adds genuine recreational value. Buyers should factor in a cosmetic renovation budget. The structure, the land, and the setting are the draw here — the interior finishes are a project.

From the listing

Enjoyed by the same family since 1978, this is a rare opportunity to become the next chapter in the story of a special country home. Set on 2.149 acres, with an additional shared interest in 21.8 acres leading right down to your personal slice of Whitemans Creek renowned for fishing, this country property offers room to breathe, room to gather, and room to simply enjoy the life you've been dreaming about. From the moment you arrive, there is a feeling that this is somewhere different. Peaceful surroundings, mature landscaping, beautiful gardens, and the warmth of an incredible neighbourhood create a setting that feels both private and wonderfully connected. The primary suite is a private retreat of its own, complete with a generous walk-in closet and private ensuite. And then there are the windows, truly one of the defining features of this home. Every window feels like a piece of artwork, framing beautiful views and bringing the changing seasons right into your living spaces. The fully finished walk-out basement adds even more space. Step outside and discover your own backyard oasis. The backdrop, and the in-ground pool transform the property into the ultimate summer destination. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting family and friends poolside, or watching the sunset at the end of the day, this is outdoor living at its best. 5 min to Highway 403, while shopping is just down the road and Brantford is approx 5 min away. Families will appreciate being located on a school bus route serving both elementary and secondary schools, while still enjoying the space, privacy, and freedom that come with country living. But perhaps one of the most remarkable things about this property isn't something you can measure, it's the community. There is a genuine sense of belonging here, with amazing neighbours, a welcoming atmosphere, and neighbourhood events that bring people together. It's the kind of place where people know one another, and look out for each other
