About this home

Set well back from the road on 37.84 wooded acres, 543 French Line feels closely connected to the landscape around it. Built in 2023, the home gives reclaimed timbers from a southern Ontario barn a new life beneath soaring ceilings. Hand-laid natural stone and polished concrete ground the space, while expansive Marvin windows fill the main floor with light and draw your eye to the woods beyond. The open-concept living area is warm and inviting, with a kitchen featuring an induction cooktop, walk-in pantry and separate full-height freezer. The main-floor primary bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet and wet-room bathroom, with main floor laundry. Upstairs, a spacious loft overlooks the living area, providing a second sitting room alongside a guest bedroom with two-piece ensuite. The workmanship extends beyond the house. A separate outbuilding houses a garage (32' x 26') with 11-foot ceilings and an adjoining workshop (20' x 17'), with a covered carport providing additional sheltered parking. There's substantial space for projects, equipment and collections. Follow the walking trails through the woods, pause beside the creek's small rapids, or spend an afternoon tending the raised garden beds. A year-round creek, pond and perennial gardens give you reasons to linger outside, with thoughtfully incorporated stonework connecting the cultivated grounds to the forest beyond. A metal roof, radiant in-floor heating, ductless heat pump & A/C, grid-connected solar with net metering and a Kohler backup generator complement the traditional materials. An insulated electrical room in the garage houses a Tesla battery and the electrical control equipment that keep this property running smoothly through all seasons. Room to create in the workshop, trails to wander and a home worth coming back to. Come walk the property and see the craftsmanship up close.
