Ideally located just 20 minutes from Hyde Park and only 30 minutes to Grand Bend and Strathroy, this remarkable 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom custom-built home offers the comforts of country living without sacrificing access to work and shopping. Set on 20.5 peaceful acres (5.5 of which are workable) it is a rare blend of natural beauty, timeless design, and meaningful detail. Its over 2,700 sq ft of living space is filled with character and craftsmanship. Soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level and 10-foot ceilings upstairs create a grand sense of space and light. Black walnut floors, milled from trees harvested right on the property, ground the home in its surroundings. Structural exposed beams salvaged from heritage barns and homes across Southwestern Ontario add both strength and rustic elegance. Antique architectural details have been lovingly integrated throughout; stair posts from a historic London home, spindles from a Toronto mansion, brass light fixtures from a Stratford church, and a statement chandelier from a church in Chatham. The primary bedroom features floors reclaimed from the original homestead that once stood on the land. The kitchen is a standout. Any chef would love preparing food for their family and guests in this thoughtfully designed space. Outdoors, enjoy a 16'x20' composite deck and a seperate concrete patio with footings already in place for a future addition. A freshwater creek winds through the property, home to lake trout and fall salmon, offering natural beauty year-round. Additionally is a charming converted carriage house with its own kitchenette, bathroom and laundry hook-up. This bonus space would be ideal for guests, extended family, or a home-based business. This is more than a home, it's a handcrafted living legacy built with heart, history, and an eye for enduring quality. This is a must see! Call for a private viewing today.
