29 Tallwood Drive, West Montrose

Set on 242 ft of pristine Grand River frontage on 3+ acres overlooking Ontario's last remaining covered bridge, 29 Tallwood Drive is one of Waterloo Region's most extraordinary private residences. Tucked at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac in West Montrose, this architecturally designed estate offers approximately 7,000 sq ft of refined contemporary living — metal roof and mechanicals updated 2013, new AC 2023 — where floor-to-ceiling glass connects the home to its spectacular surroundings. Every room captures breathtaking river views, while the open-concept great room, dining area and chef-inspired kitchen flow to an exceptional outdoor living space. The home offers 5 bedrooms (upstairs bedroom remodeled 2023), a dedicated office, a home theatre room, a 10kW solar system with new 2026 inverter generating MicroFIT income, and a private guest wing with its own entrance — ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, guests, a home gym or studio.

There are estate homes. Then there is Tallwood.
