This is a house that has been filled with happiness, love & music from the time it was built by a noted musician, Bernie Piltch using the same architectural firm that created the McMichael Art Gallery. It is also a house where most of the land has remained untouched, and where trees and gardens have been planted to enhance the natural beauty of the setting; engender a sense of calm and happiness; to provide a contrast in rich scents and colours; to encourage local birds and other wildlife to live in peace, and insects to pollinate. The house was renovated in the 1990s and 2000s, to create a hybrid between country and city aesthetics. While the nature of the house has remained intact (massive, old-growth timbers from BC with traditional chinking), the house currently has a Georgian theme because of the artwork and furnishings but has also had an earlier life as the home of Canadian art and antiques. Come ramble through the trail network, admire the pond and take in the long views. Total peace and tranquility is found here on over 23 private acres.

EXTRAS: Superb 2-storey great room with massive fireplace, 2-storey windows, long views and massive hewn beams from British Columbia. Long driveway leads to the elevated home site which offers views over the rolling landscape.
