Sign on Property. Rustic charm meets nature's serenity! Situated on 5.3 acres, just south east of Meaford, this log home was reconstructed on this site, bringing together a local heritage dwelling with a log cabin from Quebec. The current owner oversaw this reconstruction, insisting on strict adherence to detail. Over the years, modern influences were added but not at the expense of history. This special home offers two bedroom and 2 baths, with a loft above the living room that could be used as a third bedroom or home office. A flagstone entrance and hand finished wooden floors add to the historical charm. The open concept kitchen/dining area lends itself to family gatherings and intimate dinners. The two-sided fireplace services both the dining area and living room. The primary bedroom and ensuite and a second bedroom are located on the second floor. The owner has carefully chosen furniture and accessories to enhance the character of the residence. A wrap around covered porch borders the house on two sides, adding outdoor sitting area for entertaining or relaxing. Steps away from the house is the studio--another historical building that, with renovations, would increase the living space on the property. Attached to the studio is a double car garage. The property has many features---a pond, aerated by an authentic windmill, a forested ravice with trails and mature oak and maple trees, and pastoral vistas that add to the serenity of this uniqueness of this place. Wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys and various bird species take up residence in this this natural setting. This property is situated between Meaford and Thornbury, just a short drive to the many special activities taking place in these communities all year long. Skiing, boating, golf, biking and hiking are also closeby. This is truly an ideal place to enjoy the lifestyle that the Georgian Bay area has to offer. (id:27476)
