Just when you think you've seen every kind of country property, one like this comes along. Follow the rolling hills & country roads of the Zorra Highlands to 337000 33rd Line, where a 1,750'+/- winding laneway disappears into lush forest and leaves you wondering what could possibly be waiting at the end. And then the trees open. Nearly 27+/- acres unfold around peaceful, wide-open meadow framed by forest, with a cottage-style home, detached shop, picturesque, covered bridge + driveshed tucked into the landscape. And then there's Trout Creek. More than 1,300+/- ft meanders through the property beneath the covered bridge + right into the story of the home itself. The Great Room + decks offer a front-row seat to the water, while patio doors from the primary bedroom open to a deck along the creek bank-a connection to nature that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The warm, character-filled cottage-style home offers approx. 1740 SF, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, vaulted ceilings, a kitchen with center island, sun-splashed Great Room + multiple fireplaces adding to its cozy cottage feel. Then there's the 39x21' shop - and calling it a shop doesn't do it justice! Heated, insulated + finished, it has a fireplace + bar, plus a generous overhang with concrete pad for parking, wood storage or extra covered space...you decide! Out back, the impressive post-and-beam covered deck might just be your new favorite spot, overlooking the meadow & forest where deer wander out to the custom feeder at its edge. Cross the 12x40' covered bridge + head up the hill to a 24x48' driveshed with oversized sliding doors, skylit roof + room for equipment, vehicles + toys. Fibre internet keeps this tucked-away retreat connected, while nearby Wildwood Conservation Area, trails + year-round recreation offer even more ways to get outside. Stratford, St. Marys + Woodstock are all within an easy drive. Come for the setting. Stay to discover just how much there is to love about life here! (id:41202)
