Awaiting you amidst serene rolling countryside and mature forests is this private escape! Set on approx. 26 acres of mixed bush with a meandering creek that runs through, and up a winding driveway, you arrive at this completely off-grid, year-round oasis. This home has been almost completely rebuilt over the years. It features a cozy, yet open-concept main living area, a bright kitchen (featuring working island), dining space and adjacent bright living room with woodstove & sliding door. There is also a large main floor 3pc bath with laundry. The large primary is upstairs. The basement is partially finished, offering abundant storage and space to use, whether for tools, homemaking and canned goods, hobbies, home gym/office, or so much more. What sets this property apart is that it is entirely off-grid: the woodstove supplies the entire home with heat (but there is the option of utilizing the main floor propane furnace as backup/supplementary heat); plus, a photovoltaic (solar) system (consisting of 4 panels) supplies reliable hydro to the home year round, allowing you full control of your regular living expenses. The home features a metal roof as well, plus ample storage outbuildings. Outside, outdoor adventure is at your doorstep - with the ability to take strolls through your own bush trails, enjoying an evening around a bonfire or near the seasonal pond, or observing all the wildlife that inherently passes through. Not only that, but the area features some of Ontario's best outdoor recreation, with Grey Road 40 being a popular summer cycle route, a short drive from Walter's Falls, numerous conservation areas and trail access points (incl. the Bruce Trail), and all the other nearby winter and summer adventure in the Beaver Valley. Collingwood, Meaford, Owen Sound and Markdale, and all of their amenities are within a 30-40 min. drive. If a sustainable, conscious lifestyle has been tempting you, and you've been wanting to be closer with nature, this is your ticket!
