Escape from the city: Imagine having a country estate on almost 300 acres of land! Located in the heart of Grey County,15 min drive to Hanover, 20 min to Durham and 30 min to Owen Sound. Set on a 299.5 acre parcel with over 60 acres of original hardwood forest, approximately 180 acres of land that was reforested in the early 1980s and managed since 1995 by the Grey Saugeen Conservation Authority and the owners. Lastly there are approximately sixty acres of ecologically significant marsh and swamp. All under a 75% tax abatement from the Government of Ontario through the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program (MFTIP). 2020 taxes were just $3165.15 and A successful buyer who wants to keep the property in the MFTIP should review the program guide & and update the current plan, or prepare a new plan to reflect their management objectives and have the plan approved by a Managed Forest Plan Approver. With a great variety of tree species, km's of trails, several small ponds and streams this makes for a unique property! The 1880s 2-storey yellow brick home is the heart of this estate, offering lots of room & character:high ceilings, hardwood flooring and updated windows; and with TLC (such as, a new roof, new furnace, chimney repairs, re-connecting water supply - the heat and water supply have been shut-off for the past 5 years) It offers 4 bedrooms upstairs and 1 down-stairs as well, 2 full bathrooms and 2 en-suites for a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The main floor also features a large open concept family room featuring a wood stove, an addition with a large sunroom, a laundry room and kitchen. The land offers endless opportunities to grow your own vegetables, graze animals, see wildlife, plus a forest to supply you with fire-wood from dead trees and fallen trees. It makes for a great spot for foraging: Morel mushrooms have been found growing wild on the property! No chemicals of any kind have been used on this farm for several decades.
