This property combines acreage, outbuildings, and modern systems in one rare package. The solid brick raised ranch bungalow sits on picturesque land featuring a pond, two large fenced paddocks, and a separate laneway to the outbuildings. Equestrian and hobby-farm enthusiasts will appreciate the insulated 52' x 36' 5-stall horse barn (2005) with water, hydro and rubber-matted stalls, plus a drive shed and a run-in shed in one paddock. Thoughtfully upgraded, the property includes geothermal heating and an owned net-meter solar system (both 2017) for outstanding energy efficiency, and replacement windows and exterior doors (2025). A HydroPool Swimspa creates a private retreat right at home. Inside, the home features two main-floor bedrooms and a full, partially finished basement with a rec room, a third bedroom, and a utility/laundry room. Two bathrooms include a 4-piece main bath and a 3-piece ensuite, and an enclosed breezeway connects the attached double-car garage to the home for year-round comfort. This property offers country living without compromise. Book your private showing today. (id:2493)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
