A Nature Lovers and Gardeners Paradise! If the sound of coyotes howling at the moon or bluebird pecking on your window early in the morning during mating season bothers you, this is not for you! 50 acres of fields and wood lot, unspoiled by pesticides for at least 48 years. The Bruce Trail, accessible at the rear of the property crosses the 1,000 acre area bounded by the surrounding roads. In co-operation with adjacent landowners, a private trail system several kilometers long based on The Old Mail Road logging roads is used for hiking, horseback riding, and in the winter, for cross-country skiing. Your water is from an artesian spring, shared with a neighbour, with an uninterrupted flow for over a century. The aquifer provides pure water, free of the sulphur and iron found in wells lower in the valley. Early in the spring, fresh watercress, along with wild leeks from the woodlot are the first natural bounty to appear. The house itself is surrounded by gardens of perennials, with a large vegetable garden and shed. Located on the edge of the escarpment, a spectacular view of the Beaver valley, with breath-taking sunsets is visible from your living room. The house itself was rebuilt in 2007, with a 2-car built-in garage, essential during the winter months. If 5 bedrooms ,a Great Room with cathedral ceilings, a double -sided field-stone fireplace isnt enough, an extension has been designed to add a self-contained one-bedroom apartment also with a view of the valley. For added security, a 12 kw generator starts automatically in case of a power failure. The property blends privacy and recreational opportunities with accessibility to needed supplies at the nearby Ravenna Country Market. The 12th line has little traffic, not being a through road, however it is on the school bus route, receiving early morning snow-plowing in the winter. The present owners hope the new owners will enjoy this unique property as much as they have for almost 50 years!
