A lifestyle-property where privacy, nature, and opportunity come together in the heart of the Northumberland Hills. Set on nearly 26 acres just 10 minutes to Brighton and 6 to the 401, this lovingly maintained country retreat offers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience. Perched atop a scenic knoll, the home itself enjoys breathtaking views over the pond and rolling front lawn from both the family room and primary bedroom. Warm, inviting, and full of character, the main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms-ideal for families, multigenerational living, or a weekend escape. At the centre of the home is a stunning cherry kitchen with beautiful imported Australian granite, opening into multiple bright and welcoming living spaces designed to capture views of both the front pond and rear meadow. Natural light pours in no matter where you gather. The land itself is truly special, featuring a natural pond and stream that offers fishing and exploring, open acreage for gardens, hobby farming, or homesteading, plus over 15 acres of private forest trails to explore year-round, and an old dirt bike track in the clearing 2/3 of the way back. The lower level offers incredible flexibility with an oversized garage capable of accommodating up to 4 vehicles, along with abundant storage, workshop space, and room for recreational equipment or hobbies. A classic rec room with wood stove adds even more charm and potential to add family spaces and bathroom. Adding exceptional value is the detached modern shop near the roadway-perfect for entrepreneurs, tradespeople, hobbyists, or home-based businesses. Complete with a finished concrete floor, office space, steel roof, dedicated well, and 200-amp service, it's a space ready to support your next venture. A rare opportunity to own a true country estate offering lifestyle, versatility, and endless potential in one of Northumberland County's most desirable settings. Septic pumped June 2026.
