RIVERFRONT RETREAT ON A SECLUDED LOT. Nestled among mature trees and tucked away along the river, this rare property offers nearly unmatched privacy and the chance to own a slice of nature in the city. The potential lies in the land – a sprawling lot that stretches right to the Speed River, complete with old walking trails leading you directly to the water’s edge. The existing home is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage-style retreat, including a loft bedroom and a bright sunroom (included in the square footage) that brings the outdoors in. Inside, you’ll find cozy wood accents throughout, a warm and inviting living room, and a kitchen. Please note: the home is off-grid with no municipal water, sewer, or gas services. A holding tank collects spring water, which is then pumped into the home for use in the hot and cold water tanks. The composting toilet system operates with mulch and grinding, offering a sustainable solution. This property is ideal for those seeking a natural lifestyle or a remarkable piece of land with future potential. Whether you’re drawn to the serenity of riverfront living, the wooded trails, or the vision of building something new, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a unique parcel of land right in town. Thrive in the heart of Hespeler just steps to Hespeler Village and enjoy the artisan bakeries, shops, and craft breweries. Take a stroll through Forbes Park, or along the Mill Pond Trail to Ellacott Lookout and feel truly at peace in this stunning, natural environment. All of this, just minutes to the 401. (id:23309)
