From the high point of this 160 scenic acres, about 100 of which is productively rolling farmland, you'll take in wide views of the verdant countryside and peaceful horizons beyond. Wander down the grassy slopes into mature cedars, where a full kilometre of the Eramosa River forms a natural boundary with the village of Eden Mills on the other bank. This property offers a rare mix: good agricultural land alongside another 60 acres or so of scenic riverfront and woodland with three paved road frontages. Truly a productive and bucolic rural setting, quietly tucked away, yet just 45 minutes to Pearson International Airport. A modest 1880's stone farmhouse sits up the old lane a bit, surrounded by century old maples. And nearby, the ruins of an old stone barn present a conundrum: enjoy the beauty as it is, restore it to its former charm or perhaps repurpose it creatively, even as a film location. Its the kind of property that pretty well offers it all: productive agriculture land with riverside walking trails and more than one spectacular new homesite available if renovating the old stoney doesn't appeal. In fact, a new maple-lined driveway to the loftiest vantage point is already waiting for you. This may be one of the soundest possible long-term investments you can make, while enjoying land that works as hard as it inspires. Realtors say all the time that "Opportunities like this don't come along very often." Believe it this time.
