You're about ten minutes from the 401 and twenty from Windsor, but this ranch on County Rd 2 feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. The backyard drops right onto a small creek, and you can launch a kayak from your own yard and paddle toward Lake St. Clair. The house itself is a 1970 bungalow with 3 beds and 2 baths in about 1,200 square feet above grade, plus a sunroom that adds extra hangout space. The kitchen has ceramic tile and an eat-in area, and the living room connects to a covered porch and deck out back, perfect for morning coffee while watching the water. The primary bedroom has patio doors that open to the yard, so you can step straight out. There's a double-wide concrete driveway up front and a block foundation, and the heating is forced air gas with central AC. It's not fancy, but the floors are hardwood in most rooms, and there's a single fireplace for the cooler months. Septic system, so no municipal bills for that. The property sits on a big 75 x 230 foot lot, fenced in, and there's a Tim Hortons just 3.6 km down the road. It's listed at $549,900, which is in line with the one other active listing nearby, and houses here have been selling around $720k after a few months on market, so there's room to negotiate. If you're after a water-access place with a real ranch layout and space to spread out, this could be it.
