Set on 10.46 peaceful acres just outside Mount Forest, this inviting 1.5-storey country home offers a rare mix of space, function, and natural beauty, perfect for those seeking rural living with room to grow and work from home. The main house features four bedrooms plus a den, two and a half bathrooms—including a newly finished ensuite (2024). A sunroom with views of the spring-fed pond, and thoughtful upgrades throughout the years including a roof (2024), North Star windows and exterior insulation (2016), quartz countertops and a farmhouse sink in the kitchen (2024), stainless steel appliances (2021), updated plumbing (2022), and ductless heating and cooling in the great room and three bedrooms (2021). The home is heated with a Pacific Energy wood fireplace, which comfortably heats the home in winter using about eight cords of wood per season. Electrical updates include a new breaker panel with surge protection and space to expand (2022), plus a GenerLink hookup for easy generator connection. Outside, the property is well set up for comfort and enjoyment with a stamped concrete patio and a powered custom grain bin gazebo, Tannoy outdoor speakers at both front and back, and a new back deck with built-in bench seating. A beautiful spring-fed pond (14 feet deep) with a fountain, a meandering river along the rear property line, and a cedar bush with trails offer scenic and recreational value. A fully outfitted 1,800 sq ft (30x60 ft) heated shop with in-floor heating, 12-foot ceilings, three large poly doors with keypads, a separate hydro panel, and air compressor lines,supports home business or hobby use. A converted garage unit and insulated 575 sq ft studio space. All buildings are connected to a dug spring well with a new pump (2022), and most downspouts are tile-drained underground. This is a well-cared-for rural retreat offering character, space, and flexibility. (id:23309)
