This 4-bed, 3-bath custom home sits on a massive 3.07-acre lot that backs onto Simcoe County Forest. It's about as private as it gets while still being just 1.2 km from Tim Hortons and a quick drive to Pizza Delight. The main floor has an open layout with vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that pour in light, plus a gas fireplace as the centerpiece. You'll find the primary bedroom up on the second level with two more bedrooms, and the lower level is a self-contained suite with its own family room and bedroom. That suite would be perfect for extended family or rental income. The property itself is a nature lover's dream. Mature trees, multiple decks, a firepit, and perennial gardens. There's even room to store an RV or boat on the 174-foot frontage. Plus, the property has potential for severance (subject to municipal approval), which could be a smart investment. With municipal water and sewer, you get the convenience of town services without sacrificing space. Listed at $1,049,900, it's priced above the nearby median of $794,888, but you're paying for the acreage and the rarity of the setting. The home has been well-maintained, with an updated primary bath, and you get central air, a security system, and central vac. Just 4.8 km from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, this spot has history and nature at its doorstep. If you want space, privacy, and the potential to add value, this is worth a serious look.
