About this home

Rustic charm meets nature's serenity! Situated on 5.3 acres, just south east of Meaford, this home was reconstructed on this site, bringing together a local heritage dwelling with a cabin from Quebec. The current owner oversaw this reconstruction, insisting on strict adherence to detail. Over the years, modern influences were added but not at the expense of history. This special home offers two bedroom and 2 baths, with a loft above the living room that could be used as a third bedroom or home office. A flagstone entrance and hand finished wooden floors add to the historical charm. The open concept kitchen/dining area lends itself to family gatherings and intimate dinners. The two-sided fireplace services both the dining area and living room. A propane furnace provides the heating for the house and a heat pump/air conditioner has recently been added. The primary bedroom and ensuite and a second bedroom are located on the second floor. The owner has carefully chosen furniture and accessories to enhance the character of the residence. A wrap around covered porch borders the house on two sides, adding outdoor sitting area for entertaining or relaxing. Steps away from the house is the studio--another historical building that, with renovations, would increase the living space on the property. Attached to the studio is a double car garage. The property has many features---a pond, aerated by an authentic windmill, a ravine with trails and mature oak and maple trees, and pastoral vistas that add to the serenity of this uniqueness of this place. The property is situated between Meaford and Thornbury, just a short drive to the many special activities taking place in these communities all year long. This property is ideal for both full time living and a perfect weekend retreat. Skiing, boating, golf, biking and hiking are also closeby. This is truly an ideal place to enjoy the lifestyle that the Georgian Bay area has to offer.
