This 4-bed, 2-bath home sits on roughly 14 acres, right on the Tay Valley Recreational Trail system. It's 15 minutes from Perth and about an hour to Kanata, so you get serious privacy without being cut off. The same family has owned it for nearly 50 years, and it shows in the care. Recent updates include a heat pump in 2021, fresh paint throughout (June 2026), a repainted metal roof (June 2026), and new flooring in both bathrooms. Inside, original red oak hardwood runs through the main level, with wide window sills adding character. The wrap-around deck connects to the backyard, and there's a woodshed plus a detached garage (2016) with space for 11 vehicles total. The lot is irregular, roughly 1059 x 787 feet, backing onto the trail system, so you can walk or snowmobile right from your door. Also, there's a MicroFIT solar program with under 7 years left, which helps offset utilities. Taxes run about $2,873 annually, and the price sits at $674,900, which is in line with the median nearby. Only one other listing is active in the area, so it's a rare chance to grab acreage this close to town. You'll find Tay River Tent & Trailer Park about 4.8 km away, Fall River Restaurant 6.4 km, and Silver Lake Provincial Park 10 km. It has good bones and a solid layout with 4 bedrooms up, a main-floor family room, and a partly finished bonus space. Just needs your ideas to make it your own.
