Property Description
Offered for the first time, the Ballyduff Homestead is now available. More than a home, this is a lifestyle opportunity to live and experience a significant conservation project in Ontario. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected lands, this 34 acre parcel comprises meadows, hardwood forest, a tallgrass prairies ecosystem, and hiking trails connecting to the Ballyduff Trails, offering 10 kms of nature to explore. This comfortable home was strategically built 30 years ago from squared and dovetailed white pine logs. Designed to offer the maximum natural light and easterly views of the 1,100 acres of protected lands. The upper level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with pine floors and large windows. The main level living space is anchored with beautiful cherry floors. The living room expands the width of the home, with east and west facing windows, and the hand hewed beams add a stunning architectural detail. A Rumford wood burning fireplace adds a beautiful ambiance. The kitchen and dining area surround a wood burning air-tight stove, and offer functional and pleasing space to prepare and enjoy meals while taking in the surrounding views. The main floor also offers a powder room and laundry. Two large north and south decks provide additional living space to enjoy the outdoors. The lower level offers a walkout to the back property, and a generous guest suite with expansive windows, and 3 piece bath. There is a two car attached garage, as well as a 1 car detached garage. This property appreciates a tax benefit under the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Plan. The owners embrace alternative energy. The home is heated and cooled by a geothermal system. The property generates a substantial passive income from solar panels and a wind turbine, both on transferrable contracts.
