Situated 200m from Rushton Provincial Park Beach, this 5.1 acre property is a gardener’s dream. The sturdy 1.5 storey home boasts 5 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a large country kitchen with electric range and old fashion wood burning oven with water jacket. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large and very functional pantry. The dining room doubles as a library with beautiful floor-to-ceiling oak bookshelves and large glass doors that open onto a deck that wraps around the north and west sides of the house providing breathtaking sunsets. The living room has large white pine flooring, some planks as wide as fifteen inches. A 21’ x 8’ sunroom will allow you to get an early jump on gardening or take care of plants in the off season. The basement has a concrete floor and ballast stone walls. It houses a new (2023) central heat pump and a wooden cold room for storing root vegetables. A walk-in woodshed off the kitchen keeps up to 2 cords of wood inside and dry. The electric panel allows a generator to power the house should the power fail. There is also 7 kW of solar that feeds directly into the grid to reduce your power bill. What used to be a two-storey garage has been remodelled to be a bright and clean work area and an office, both with concrete floors. Outside the office is a level 2 EV charger. The property also has solid two-story barn. The ground floor of the barn has both water and electricity. Behind the barn is a large pond and berm with a beautifully designed split level stone deck with waterfall and cob pizza oven. The gardens have been meticulously nurtured over 25 years. There are raised beds and multiple permanent trellis systems for grape vines and other climbers. There are also many fruit trees ensuring a good supply of plums and apples. Overall, this property offers a rare blend of charm, sustainability, and practicality. It has standout features that make it more than just a place to live—it is a lifestyle.
