This gently rolling 50 acre parcel features a large 4 bedroom home with den, office, 1 ½ bathrooms and a most spacious country kitchen. Many closets, including a large laundry room on the main floor allow for ample storage options. The basement features a handy cold storage/root cellar, a workshop area and the walk-out stairs leading to a 2 car garage with work counters and storage. Out the back door is a restful, private deck with shade option.
For the farming oriented, this property is immediately organically certifiable, with over a ½ acre of market garden beds, a beginner orchard, and a fantastic ever-bearing raspberry patch. Soil productivity is yearly increased with many tons of well matured highly fertile compost. The out buildings are a full size barn, suitable for any type of livestock, a large driveshed and a convenient garden shed. Additionally, attached to the back of the house is a fully weather proof wood shed with a big sliding door for ease of stacking. In the sunny front meadow stands a year-round-use 1600 sq/ ft. greenhouse; salad greens grown in winter with the use of passive solar technique.
At a 15 minute drive to Peterborough to the west, proximity to amenities is so convenient. The villages of Douro, Lakefield and Warsaw are even closer. Garden produce will find 3 markets and a CSA co-op at which to be sold. In this county there is a vibrant and supportive population for locally grown and sustainable agriculture of all kinds.
Located on an unpaved side road assures little traffic and a more peaceful and pastoral daily life. Over 500 young trees such as pines, cedars, poplars, and wild berry bushes have so far been planted to enhance land use and promote wildlife habitat and diversity. Crisscrossing the pastures is a meandering creek forming an irrigation-usable pond by the bard and continues through a small woodland with another pond near the east end of the property. Throughout, wildlife sightings such as deer, birds, frogs and coyote lend a spirit of health and beauty to this neighbourhood.
