Rustic charm meets nature's serenity! Situated on 5.3 acres, this log home was reconstructed on this site, bringing together a local heritage dwelling with a log cabin from Quebec. The current owner over saw this reconstruction with strict adherence to detail. Over the years, modern touches were added but not at the expense of history. This special home has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a loft above the living room that could be a third bedroom or a place for home office or for relaxation. A flagstone entrance and hand finished wooden floors add to the historical ambience. The open concept kitchen and dining area lends itself to family gatherings and intimate dinner parties. A two sided fireplace services both the dining area and living room. The primary bedroom and ensuite plus a second bedroom are located on the second floor. The owner has carefully chosen furniture and accessories to enhance the historical nature of the residence. The kitchen, dining and living rooms are great examples of this! A wrap around covered porch borders the house on two sides, adding outdoor sitting areas for entertaining and relaxing. Steps away from this residence is the studio...another historical building that with renovations, would increase the living space on the property. Attached is the double car garage. The property has many features that accent its special nature...a pond, aerated by a windmill, a forested ravine with trails and mature trees, including many large oak and maple trees, and panoramic, pastoral vistas all add to the serenity of this place. Wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys and many birds, can be found on this property. The trails on the property, lend themselves to special retreats for people.....including snowshoeing in the winter. This property is just a short drive to Meaford and to Thornbury, and close to many of the recreational amenities that this area has to offer....a perfect place to enjoy full time or an ideal weekend retreat.
