Description
The property of your dreams! A peaceful 27.5-acre farm situated along the Grand River with over 650-ft of water frontage and located less than 15-minutes to Ancaster. The stunning farmhouse, originally built in 1886, has been custom engineered and completely rebuilt from the ground up and to the studs including two new engineered porches, new framing/sub floors/spray foam insulation, and all new mechanics: septic, drilled well, water treatment, HVAC, updated windows, and metal roof.
Enjoy exquisite original character such as exposed brick and barn beams from Walker Farm with the luxury of modern conveniences. The main level features a two-toned gourmet eat-in kitchen with solid dove-tail jointed cabinetry, a 4.5 x 10 ft. island, premium quartz counters and top-of-the-line stainless appliances including a Bertazzoni Italian gas stove. Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout allows for low maintenance. There is formal dining, a large family room, stylish full bathroom, and a fantastic laundry/mudroom with access from the side porch.
The upper level is accessed by a modern open web Heritage style solid oak staircase and features gothic architecture with 9.5-ft ceilings. There are 3 bedrooms, a large open loft, and a 5-piece full bathroom with a roughed-in claw foot tub and shower ready for your personalized styling.
The basement features a separate entrance and a brand-new poured concrete basement floor with waterproofing, weeping tile and two sumps. All construction masterfully completed, there is new 200-amp electrical and an internet hub with CAT-6 throughout the house, none of which has been drilled through reinforced joists. All new plumbing and water treatment equipment offers a switch from drilled well to cistern. There is a new furnace, air conditioner, water heater and HRV unit.
Outside there is a 30 x 60 ft. double garage and heated/insulated work shop (separate furnace, cistern, water heater and pressure tank); storage for farm equipment; a large bank barn built in 1908; and an amazing opportunity to build a secondary residence on the property for income, or multi-generational living. The property has rich unspoiled soil free from chemicals or pesticides – ideal for an organic farm.
Imagine spending time with family and friends with more than 650-ft of water frontage on the Grand River offering direct access for canoeing, fishing or even a boat launch!
